YEMEN-CONFLICT
UN convenes warring sides in Yemen’s Hodeida
DUBAI, Dec 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A UN-led truce monitoring team including members of Yemen’s warring sides held its first meeting in the flashpoint city of Hodeida on Wednesday, a pro-government official said. The official, who requested anonymity, told AFP: “We are expecting a good outcome.”
The ceasefire in the rebel-held city, whose Red Sea port is vital for millions at risk of starvation, is part of a peace push seen as the best chance yet of ending four years of devastating conflict.
