Riyadh: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday accused Yemen’s rebels of failing to comply with a ceasefire agreement for the flashpoint city of Hodeida reached at UN-sponsored talks in Sweden.
“The work that was done in Sweden on Yemen was good, but both sides (need) to honour those commitments,” Pompeo said in Riyadh following talks with Saudi King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“Today, the Iranian-backed Huthis have chosen not to do that.”
The US embassy in Riyadh said Monday that Pompeo and Prince Mohammed “agreed on (the) need for continued de-escalation and adherence to (the) Sweden agreements”, especially the ceasefire in the lifeline port city of Hodeida.
