Houthi Rebels Fly to Riyadh for Ceasefire Talks with Saudi Arabia

Yemen's Houthi rebels are set to visit Riyadh for ceasefire talks with Saudi Arabia, raising hopes for a breakthrough in the long-running war. The visit comes after an invitation from Saudi Arabia and the arrival of a delegation from Oman, which has been acting as a mediator. The talks will focus on reopening Houthi-controlled ports and Sanaa airport, payment of wages, rebuilding efforts, and the withdrawal of foreign forces. The ceasefire, which expired in October, has largely held, but progress towards peace has been slow. Yemenis fear that negotiations with only one party may lead to a collapse of the peace process.
