Houthis to Head to Muscat for Fresh Round of Yemen Peace Talks

Local Editor

Houthis officials are due in Muscat soon for a fresh bid to try to restart U.N.-sponsored peace talks.

According to Yemeni officials, the Houthi Ansarullah movement will restart U.N.-sponsored peace talks held in Kuwait in 2016 that ended without an agreement.

The Talks come in a bid to end almost three of Saudi-led coalition bombardment on Yemeni civilians.

Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March last year. The Saudi military strikes were launched in a failed effort to undermine the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring former fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi back to power.

More than 13,000 people, among them 2,236 children, have been killed and 19,343 others injured since the start of the aggression. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
