DUBAI (Reuters) – Yemen’s government and southern separatist forces have agreed on a ceasefire and will begin talks in Saudi Arabia on implementing a peace deal, the kingdom’s ambassador to Yemen said on Monday.
Both sides agreed on a ceasefire in Abyan province, de-escalation of tensions in other regions, and the start of talks on implementing a Riyadh agreement involving committees from both sides, Mohammed Al-Jaber said in a post on Twitter.
