Omani delegation arrives in Yemen to urge Houthis to a UN-proposed ceasefire
The delegation would hold meetings with key Houthi leaders, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported Tuesday.
Bordering both Yemen and Saudi Arabia, Oman is actively involved in brokering a ceasefire between the Houthi rebels and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.
This was the second visit by the Omani delegation in less than a month, the Xinhua news agency reported.
In October 2022, the Yemeni government and Houthi militia failed to extend a six-month national ceasefire, raising concerns about the return of violent conflict to the Arab country.
Yemen’s civil war erupted in late 2014 when the Iranian-backed Houthi militia seized control of some northern cities and forced the Saudi-backed Yemeni government out of the capital, Sanaa.
The war has killed tens of thousands of Yemenis, displaced 4 million and pushed the country to the brink of famine.
