Yemen War News Updates -- April 28, 2015



Deutsche Welle: Fighting leaves Yemen desperate

Yemen's Houthi rebels have been urged to stop their "war on the cities" by a potential new mediator, vice president Khaled Bahah. Military feuds and Saudi air strikes have claimed some 1,000 lives since late March.

Yemeni websites on Tuesday also quoted Bahah as urging Houthis to drop their objections and use the UN's recent resolution 2216 as a negotiations framework to end rivalries that escalated last year.

Bahah, who reportedly has broad support among Yemen's feuding parties, was appointed as vice president earlier this month by Yemen's Saudi-exiled President Abd-Rabbu Mansur Hadi.
