Yemen parties agree details of pullback plan

Yemen’s government and Houthi rebels have accepted a detailed plan for a much-delayed pullback from the flashpoint city of Hodeida, the U.N. envoy said Monday, but no timetable was announced for the withdrawals. The redeployment of forces was agreed in December under a cease-fire deal reached in Sweden that offered the best hope in years of moving toward an end to the war that has pushed Yemen to the brink of famine.
