Reuters: Yemen peace talks collapse in Geneva after Houthi no-show
An attempt to hold peace talks for Yemen was abandoned on Saturday after three days of waiting for the Houthi movement’s delegation, but the United Nations envoy vowed to press ahead with diplomacy.

They said the real center gravity in that area is Zabid. Which ever way that goes I think Hodeida goes.
