Yemen Peace Talks Begin In Yemen



BBC: Yemen crisis: UN talks begin without Houthi rebels

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has opened talks in Geneva on the conflict in Yemen but without the presence of Houthi rebel representatives.

The Houthis were due to arrive on Sunday night but are now expected on Monday afternoon.

Mr Ban warned that "while the parties bicker, Yemen burns" and urged an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

An estimated 20 million Yemenis are in need of aid following months of fighting in the country.
