SANAA, Apr 23 (NNN-ONA) – A delegation from Oman arrived in Yemen yesterday, to convince the Houthi group, to engage in a peace process with the Yemeni government.
“The Omani delegation would meet with top leaders of the Houthis, amid efforts to lift the blockade and end the war,” the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported, without providing details.
Yemen’s warring sides agreed to implement from Apr 2 a UN-brokered cease-fire, that was meant to last two months.
The truce includes the halt of all ground, aerial and naval military offensive operations, across Yemen and its borders.
Oman, which borders both Yemen and Saudi Arabia, has been actively engaged in brokering the cease-fire. The UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, also hailed Oman’s “crucial role in supporting the negotiations.”
