Sana'a (IINA) – The United Nations announced that the Yemen peace talks are set to start Thursday in Kuwait, after rebels agreed to join the delayed negotiations following assurances that the government forces would respect a ceasefire, AFP reported.
"The Yemeni peace negotiations will start tomorrow in Kuwait under the auspices of the United Nations," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Wednesday.
A delegation of rebels left Yemen's capital on Wednesday to join the talks saying the UN had assured them over the ceasefire.
The UN-brokered talks had been scheduled to open in Kuwait on Monday but were postponed after the rebels failed to show up over alleged violations of ceasefire that went into effect on April 11.
