The Yemeni government expressed optimism on Friday regarding the prospect of restoring peace in the war-torn nation.
In an official statement, the Yemeni government welcomed the efforts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Nations in their pursuit of urging Houthi militias to engage in meaningful peace negotiations and alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people.
The government reiterated its commitment to achieving a just and comprehensive peace in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia extended an invitation to a Houthi delegation for peace talks in the kingdom, a move confirmed by the Saudi Foreign Ministry on Thursday.
Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, a member of the Supreme Political Council of the Houthis, also acknowledged the departure of a delegation from Sanaa to Riyadh via Twitter, expressing hope that they would successfully navigate the challenges ahead.
Since 2014, Yemen has faced ongoing violence and instability following the capture of significant portions of the country, including Sanaa, by Houthi rebels with ties to Iran.
Yemen, a nation plagued by violence and instability since 2014, has been enduring a protracted humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the ongoing conflict. The conflict has resulted in widespread suffering among the Yemeni population, with millions facing food insecurity, displacement, and inadequate access to essential services like healthcare and education.
The involvement of Saudi Arabia and Oman, both regional actors, underscores the importance of a collaborative approach to achieving peace in Yemen. Such initiatives provide hope for the people of Yemen, who have borne the brunt of this prolonged conflict and are in desperate need of relief and stability.
