Agreement on cease-fire Hodeida in Yemen

The warring parties in Yemen have agreed a cease-fire agreement in the strategic port city of Hodeida on the Red Sea.

Guterres added that the agreement includes the deployment of neutral troops and humanitarian corridors. A political framework in the form of a transitional government will be discussed in a subsequent round of peace talks in January. Earlier agreement had already been reached on the reopening of Sanaa airport and the restart of oil exports in the war-torn country.
