update
- By Zlatica Hoke
Yemen's warring factions met Thursday in Sweden for talks that could be a step toward ending the 4-year-old conflict. The United Nations-backed meeting in the Swedish city of Rimbo is the first in two years between the Saudi-backed government and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. VOA's Zlatica Hoke reports these new talks are taking place amid international outrage about a growing humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
