UN officers, tasked with monitoring a ceasefire between Yemen’s Houthi revolutionaries and forces loyal to Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi in the port city of Hodeida, have begun setting up observation posts there, military sources have said.
The first post was set up on Saturday in the Red Sea city in the presence of chief of the UN ceasefire monitoring mission Gen Abhijit Guha, Dubai-based television Al Arabia reported, quoting Hadi loyalists.
Three other observation points are planned to be set up this week on the frontlines of Hodeida, according to the report.
Last December, the Houthis and the resigned Hadi regime reached a UN-brokered agreement in Sweden for redeployment and withdrawal from Hodeida in western Yemen.
At the time, the accord was seen as a breakthrough to end Yemen’s years-long war.
However, its implementation has since been stymied over the Hadi forces’ recalcitrance. These forces have repeatedly violated the accord.
