Hudaydah ceasefire to kick off Tuesday midnight - Yemeni FM
Yemeni Minister of Foreign Affairs Khaled al-Yamani
said Sunday a province-wide ceasefire in Hudaydah is due to kick off Tuesday
midnight.
Houthis' withdrawal will be monitored by a
30-observer team led by retired Dutch major general Patrick Cammaert, he added.
The Yemeni army will withdraw to the southern and
eastern sides of Hudaydah
Yamani revealed.
The warring sides agreed to end fighting in the
vital port city of Hudaydah last Thursday.
UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths has
urged both sides to respect the obligations and spirit of the agreement, which
followed UN-brokered talks in Sweden.
Hudaydah, 140km (90 miles) west of the capital
Sanaa, was Yemen's fourth-largest city and a major economic hub before rebels
took control of it in late 2014.
