Houthis and government to meet aboard UN ship next week
الموضوع: أخبار المحلية

A meeting is expected to be held between representatives from the Yemeni legitimate government, the United Nations and Iran-aligned Houthi militias on a UN ship off the coast of Hodeida on Wednesday, Yemeni sources told Asharq Al-Awsat.

The ship, Antarctic Dream, is docked around 30 kilometers off Hodeida port.

The meeting marks a year since the signing of the Stockholm deal that was reached between warring parties in December 2018 in Sweden's capital and established the Redeployment Coordination Committee, a body set up by the UN to oversee the ceasefire and troop exit in Hodeida.

Representatives from the legitimate government and Houthis have already met on a UN ship this year for talks as part of a UN-led push to implement the ceasefire.

Meanwhile, a UN official said Saturday that the number of members at the United Nations Mission in Support of the Hodeida Agreement (UNMHA) has greatly increased, however the staff is not complete yet

“There are still some logistic issues we are working to resolve,” the official said.

The Stockholm Agreement between the Houthis and the Yemeni government was signed in December last year. So far, the implementation of the agreement has not materialized.
