Preview

The internationally-recognized president of Yemen says talks set for Sunday about the future of his country will not include Houthi rebels. The rebels forced President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee the country earlier this year.

United Nations officials have organized the talks, which are to take place in Geneva, Switzerland.

Mr. Hadi told Al-Arabiya television that the talks will only be about putting in place a U.N. Security Council resolution. The Council’s members approved the resolution in April. It calls for the Houthis to leave the areas they have seized and to end the use of violence.

The Houthis took control of Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, in September after months of attacks. In March, they seized the southern city of Aden, forcing Mr. Hadi to flee to Saudi Arabia.
