The UN special envoy for Yemen said representatives of the former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, will come back to negotiations aimed at putting an end to the conflict gripping the Arabian Peninsula country.
Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said on Sunday that Hadi had agreed to end its latest suspend of the discussions after mediation by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The Saudi-backed delegation, however, suspended its participation in the negotiations on May 17, saying it would only return if the Houthis withdrew from areas under their control and handed over their weapons.
However, Abdulmalek al-Mikhlafi, a representative of the pro-Hadi side, said on Twitter that its delegation had agreed to give the peace talks a “last chance.”
Yemen has seen almost daily military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March 2015. More than 9,400 people have been killed and at least 16,000 others injured since the onset of the aggression.
