Former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh on Wednesday met with Houthi leader Sayed Abdul Malik al-Houthi to discuss reported differences between the two allies.
“Saleh and al-Houthi met face to face,” Nabil al-Sufi, a journalist known to be close to the former, said via Facebook.
The two men, he added, had held “frank discussions” about the current situation in capital Sana’a.
“We are now waiting for the two sides to reiterate their commitments as coalition partners,” al-Sufi said.
Wednesday’s talks were the first of their kind between the two leaders since the alliance was shaken last month amid accusations that the Houthis were purging pro-Saleh figures from sensitive state positions.
Yemen has remained in a state of war since 2014, when the Houthis and pro-Saleh forces took control of much of the country, including capital Sana’a, forcing Yemen’s pro-Saudi regime to retreat to the coastal city of Aden.
