Agreements between Houthi rebels and Yemen’s Saudi Arabia-backed government on a prisoner swap and medical treatment have added momentum to planned talks in Sweden on ending nearly four years of devastating war.
The Houthis said late Monday that they had signed an agreement with the Yemeni government on a prisoner exchange, rebel Al Masirah TV reported. Yemen Foreign Minister Khaled Al Yamani confirmed the deal and said implementation would be discussed in Sweden.
