Yemen foes to resume face-to-face peace talks

KUWAIT CITY, (APP/AFP) – Yemen’s warring parties are to
resume face-to-face peace talks on Wednesday after a three-day break triggered by a walkout by the government delegation, the United Nations said.
The negotiations, which began on April 21, broke off on Sunday after
the government delegation quit in protest at the apparent surrender of one of the few loyalist bases in the northern mountains to Houthi rebels.
“Participants will meet… on Wednesday in a plenary session to
follow up with the agreed agenda,” UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said.
It will be only the second day of face-to-face talks in the hard-won
negotiations to end a devastating conflict that has killed more than 6,400
people and displaced 2.8 million since March last year.
