Yemeni government and southern separatists agree to a truce and will begin peace talks, Saudi-led coalition says
Members of Yemen's separatist Southern Transitional Council attend a meeting in Mukalla, Yemen, February 16, 2019.
Violence has flared between the separatist group and government forces since the Southern Transitional Council declared self-rule over the key port city Aden and other southern provinces in April. The STC appointed a new Socotra governor on Monday after the separatists effectively seized control of the area amid fighting that threatened to cause irreparable harm to the island's rare plant and animal species.
Maliki said the coalition would deploy forces to monitor a ceasefire in the flashpoint Abyan governorate, which lies between government and separatist forces. The UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Anwar Gargash, tweeted his appreciation for Saudi Arabia’s “relentless efforts to achieve stability in Yemen.”
