Yemen peace talks set for early December in Sweden

Peace talks aimed at ending the war in Yemen have been set for early December in Sweden between Huthi rebels and the UN-recognized government, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis says.

Mattis says the Saudis and United Arab Emirates — who have backed President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi in the brutal three-year-old war — “are fully on board, by the way.”

“It looks like that very, very early in December, up in Sweden, we’ll see both the Huthi rebel side and the UN-recognized government, President Hadi’s government, will be up there.”
