Saudi-led military coalition releases 200 Houthi prisoners in latest exchange between the kingdom and Yemeni rebels
A Houthi tribesman holds his weapon during a tribal gathering showing support for the Houthi movement, in Sanaa, Yemen, Saturday, September 21, 2019.
Coalition spokesman Turki al Maliki said it will also allow patients needing medical care to be flown out of Sanaa airport, which has been closed to commercial flights since 2016. "The coalition leadership is keen to continue supporting efforts to resolve the crisis in Yemen and to push forward the Stockholm agreement, including the deal related to the exchange of prisoners," spokesman Colonel al Malki said.
Saudi Arabia has been holding informal talks with the Houthis since late September on a ceasefire, sources have said, seeking to exit an unpopular war in which it has taken sole responsibility for military efforts after the exit of its main coalition partner, the United Arab Emirates.
