Saudi-led Coalition Announces Cease-fire in Yemen War
(Worthy News) – The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said Wednesday that it was halting military operations nationwide in support of U.N. efforts to end a five-year war that has killed over 100,000 people and spread hunger and disease.
The move aims to facilitate talks sponsored by U.N. special envoy Martin Griffiths for a permanent cease-fire. It also was pursued in part to avoid a potential outbreak of the new coronavirus, though no cases have been reported so far, military coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki said.
The cease-fire will go into effect at midday Thursday for two weeks and is open to extension, he said in a statement. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
