Yemen’s Houthi group says truce to start on Dec. 14
A ceasefire in Yemen’s civil war will start on December
14, on the eve of planned peace talks in Switzerland next week, the
head of the Houthi delegation to the peace talks said on Saturday.
“Based
on what had been agreed upon, there will be a halt of the aggression on
the 14th of this month,” Mohammed Abdel-Salam told a news conference
broadcast live from the Yemeni capital Sana’a.
Saudi ops termed aggression
The
Iran-allied Houthis describe military operations by a Saudi-led Arab
alliance in Yemen as an aggression. The alliance says it had intervened
in response to a request by Yemen’s President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
