Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Houthis Arrive for Geneva Talks on Yemen Conflict

HeadlineJun 16, 2015

A delegation of Houthi rebels have arrived in Geneva for the second day of U.N.-backed peace talks on the conflict in Yemen. Seif al-Washli, an adviser to the delegation, said expectations for the talks are low.

Seif al-Washli: “Expectations for these meetings are not great. To this point, Saudi Arabia seems determined to continue this war and their desire to continue their aggression on Yemen, and there are no signs that it has any intentions to stop this aggression.”

We’ll have more on Yemen with Sharif Abdel Kouddous on the ground in the Yemeni capital Sana’a after headlines.
