Houthi to attend Geneva peace talks

{A senior official from Yemen’s dominant Houthi group said the movement will attend U.N.-backed peace talks in Geneva planned for June 14 without preconditions.}

“The group will participate in the Geneva talks and it supports without preconditions the efforts of the United Nations to organise Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue,” Daifallah al-Shami, a senior Houthi official, told Reuters.

A coalition of Arab states has been bombing Houthi forces, the strongest faction in Yemen’s civil war, for over two months in support of armed loyalists of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to return the exiled leader, based in Saudi Arabia, to power.
