A source close to Yemen’s ousted president Ali Abdallah Saleh revealed that a place other than Geneva will be chosen should peace talks between the Saudis and the Houthi Ansarullah movement succeed.
The source, who said met with Saleh on Thursday, told Ahram Online that it is still too early to know whether the talks will succeed or not, as "the issue will apparently take some time."
The source also revealed that a previous round of talks was held in Oman, which played a key role in pushing for talks between both parties to the conflict, aiming to make Yemen "avoid a continuation of the chaos caused by civil war."
He aslo unveiled that there are talks within the camp of Saleh and the Houthi Ansarullah movement on the post-war arrangements, including reconstruction, reparations, as well as their demands for the next government in Sana’a that will be reached through an agreement with Riyadh.
The source said that only the Houthis, not Saleh, were involved in the talks that happened in the Saudi city of Abha this week, adding that another round of talks will take place.
If the talks proved successful, the source said, a place other than Geneva will be chosen, with some countries suggested holding talks such as Jordan, Oman or Egypt.
