The Houthis agreed to exchange hundreds of prisoners with rival Yemeni factions in the largest operation of its kind in 11 years. The agreement comes as a result of international and regional efforts to ease the conflict that has devastated Yemen for more than a decade.
This agreement could pave the way for broader talks to establish a permanent ceasefire, which could end the war that has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Improved trust between the parties could mean better security and humanitarian stability in Yemen and improvements in the economic and social conditions of millions of Yemenis.
