Warring sides to the Yemeni conflict agreed to hold a new round of peace talks in Kuwait and expressed their readiness to create a national unity government during a meeting in Sana’a, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said Monday.
"Fruitful meetings in Sana, and agreement that Kuwait is a place of upcoming Yemeni negotiations...[Parties] agree on political solution and formation of a national unity government," the special envoy wrote on his official Facebook page.
The date for a new round of intra-Yemeni talks has not yet been announced.
The first round of talks between the exiled Yemeni government representatives and Houthi Ansarullah movement took place in Geneva in December 2015.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 8,300 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
