Yemen War

Yemen’s National Salvation Government and the administration of the ousted President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi have agreed at UN-brokered talks in Switzerland to swap nearly 900 prisoners.

Representatives of Yemen’s government and the Houthis began talks in Geneva on Saturday aimed at implementing a deal on prisoners exchange, the United Nations has confirmed. The negotiations started a day after Iran and Saudi Arabia announced an agreement to re-establish diplomatic ties.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has refuted the allegations made by the UK Navy that a boat smuggling Iranian arms has been seized off the coast of the Sea of Oman in a joint operation with the US.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement says the US is deliberately prolonging the world's worst humanitarian disaster in Yemen to reap huge profits from arms sales to Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, which are engaged in the devastating war on the country.

The Yemeni defense minister in the National Salvation Government has urged Saudi Arabia to seize the available opportunity offered by the leader of Ansarullah movement, and clinch a peace deal in light of Omani attempts.

The UN Security Council has unanimously voted to renew for nine months its sanctions against several leaders and top officials of Yemen’s Houthis, which has been running the Sana’a government since 2014.

The US government says it is trying to find a legal way to send to Ukraine the weapons sent to the Houthis that, Washington says, were provided by Iran and confiscated off the coast of Yemen, the Wall Street Journal has reported. Tehran denies provision of military equipment to Yemen.

The Saudi war on Yemen as well as the crippling siege of the impoverished Arab country could result in the deaths of thousands of children suffering from cancer, according to a report.

Three Yemeni children have lost their lives and another one has been injured in a new wave of air raids by the Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen’s Hodeida Province, according to local media.

At least 87 civilians were killed in airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen using US and UK supplied weapons between January 2021 and February 2022, according to a new Oxfam analysis.

Yemen’s Ministry of Human Rights has strongly condemned Saudi atrocities against Yemeni civilians and African migrants in border areas, calling on international rights organizations to put an end to the Riyadh genocide.

Yemen's Ansarullah movement says the Saudi-led coalition has exploited a UN-sponsored truce to tighten the brutal blockade against the war-wracked country, stressing that it won’t allow the status quo to persist, and will inevitably launch missile strikes against Saudi Arabia and its ally the UAE.
