Yemen rebels refuse to join Geneva talks until conditions met
SANAA, Sept 6, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Yemen’s Huthi rebels said Thursday they
will not join peace talks in Geneva until their conditions are met, accusing
the United Nations of failing to keep its promises.
Hameed Assem, a member of the rebel delegation scheduled to attend the
talks on Thursday, said the UN had not met three conditions that had been
previously agreed.
The conditions include the transport of wounded rebels to Oman, the
repatriation of rebels who have already received treatment there and a
guarantee that the Huthi delegation would be allowed to return to the rebel-
held capital Sanaa after the talks.
