Yemen rebels to join delayed talks in Kuwait

AFP, SANAA: Yemen’s Huthi rebels and their allies have agreed to join delayed peace talks in Kuwait after the United Nations assured them that pro-government forces would abide by a ceasefire.
The UN-brokered talks were set to open in Kuwait on Monday but were put off after the Iran-backed insurgents failed to show up over alleged Saudi violations of the ceasefire, which took effect on April 11. Kuwait’s information ministry said the talks—the most important attempt yet to resolve Yemen’s devastating conflict—would now open on Thursday.
A Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes in Yemen 13 months ago after the rebels, who had seized control of the capital Sanaa in 2014, advanced in other parts of the country.
