Yemen's Houthi rebels say they have begun a long-delayed withdrawal of their forces from the key port city of Hodeida, following a UN-brokered cease-fire.
SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s Houthi rebels began on Saturday a long-delayed withdrawal of their forces from the key port city of Hodeida, the group said, following the terms of a cease-fire. The U.N.-brokered agreement is aimed at alleviating the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
An official from the internationally recognized government said that they did not know the details of the Houthi withdrawal. He said the government will meet with the head of the U.N. operation monitoring the cease-fire, Lt. Gen. Michael Lollesgaard, later on Saturday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak with the media.
A cease-fire brokered by the U.N. in December in Sweden had called for the mutual withdrawal of rebel and government forces from Hodeida, and the two smaller ports in the province. The bloody conflict erupted in September 2014, when Shiite Houthi rebels swept into the capital city of Sanaa. A Saudi-led coalition rapidly intervened to back the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
He added that the Houthis must commit to following fully through with the redeployment, which is expected to take place over three days.
