Peace Talks Underway in Kuwait Amid Saudi Airtrikes on Yemen

Local Editor

With Yemen peace talks underway in Kuwait, Saudi warplanes continue to target the war-torn country. In their latest attack, Saudi jets carried out three airstrikes on the southern province of Ta’iz. Earlier, at least four civilians, including a child were killed in Bayda province.

After repeated delays over alleged truce violations, Yemeni delegates started negotiations in Kuwait City, live televisions images showed Thursday.

The UN had planned the talks to open on Monday, but both representatives of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement and allies on one side and the Saudi-backed camp of resigned president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, had accused each other of violating a truce deal on the ground.

Previous rounds of talks mediated by the UN have effectively failed to reduce hostilities between the two camps.
