Houthi political leader welcomes Saudi officials including the kingdom's ambassador to Yemen at the war-torn country's capital for a potential truce
A Yemeni government source, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said on Saturday that the Saudis and Houthis had agreed in principle on a six-month truce to pave the way for three months of talks on establishing a two-year "transition" for the war-torn country.
Saudi analyst Hesham Alghannam said the apparent diplomatic momentum was a sign that the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement was bearing fruit. Sanaa residents told AFP on Sunday that they hoped for a breakthrough that would go beyond a Saudi exit, stressing the need for a broader resolution among their deeply fractured country's many religious, regional and political groups.
Abd al Salam Shamir, 29, said: "The country is exhausted from the war, and we want all politicians to be one hand now in building Yemen."
