Houthi negotiators left Riyadh yesterday after a five-day round of talks with Saudi officials on a potential agreement paving the way to an end to the eight-year-old conflict in Yemen, sources familiar with the meeting and Houthi media said.
The Houthi delegation and Omani mediators landed in the Yemeni capital Sana’a after a round of negotiations in Saudi Arabia, the Houthis’ Al Massira TV said.
Some progress has been made on the main sticking points, including a timeline for foreign troops exiting Yemen and a mechanism for paying public wages, two sources said, adding that the sides would meet for more talks after consultations “soon”.
