A
London-based newspaper says Saudi Arabia has held direct secret talks
with Yemen’s Houthis and agreed to more negotiations in the
Jordanian capital.
The Rai
al-Youm newspaper, edited by prominent Palestinian journalist Abdul
Bari Atwan, said on Tuesday that the two sides may hold their next
negotiations in a week.
According to
the paper, UN special envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed has
informed the United Nations' under-secretary general for political
affairs Jeffrey Feltman of the talks in a secret letter. The daily
says it has received a copy of the letter.
Two senior
Houthi officials confirmed to Reuters that a Houthi delegation was in
Saudi Arabia for talks on ending Yemen's war.
