CAIRO (AP) — Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Yemen says his trip to the Houthi-held capital of Sanaa was aimed at reviving a cease-fire and re-starting political talks to end the nine-year conflict. Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Jaber met with Houthi officials in Sanaa on Sunday for talks also attended by Omani officials. He said Monday on Twitter his trip was meant to “stabilize the truce and cease-fire, support the prisoner exchange process and explore venues of dialogue between Yemeni components to reach a sustainable, comprehensive political solution in Yemen.” The trip has come as talks between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis gained momentum after the Kingdom reached a deal with Iran last month to restore diplomatic ties.
