GENEVA: The United Nations has invited the Yemeni government and the Houthi movement that controls most of the north to peace talks in Geneva on September 6, a UN spokeswoman said on Friday.
UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths is trying to negotiate an end to the three-year conflict, which has killed more than 10,000 people and pushed Yemen to the verge of starvation.
“I can confirm the office of Special Envoy has sent invitations to the government of Yemen and to Ansarullah,” UN spokeswoman Alessandra Vellucci told a Geneva news briefing.

Trump: ‘Iran will be hit very hard!’
- US president says Iran is no longer the ‘Bully of the Middle East’ in his social media post
DORAL, Florida: US President Donald Trump has warned in a social media post that more Iran officials will be targets in war, saying: ‘Today Iran will be hit very hard!’
“Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack,” Trump also said.
The US leader in his post threatened to expand strikes to include new targets.
“Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
Trump also said that Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East” in his post.
President Masoud Pezeshkian earlier apologized for Iran’s attacks on regional countries, insisting that Tehran would halt them and suggesting they were caused by miscommunication in the ranks.
Pezeshkian said its temporary leadership council had approved the suspension of attacks against neighboring countries unless an attack on Iran came from those countries.
