The extension of the ceasefire in Yemen by another two months is a relief to the citizens of the country who have been enduring war for over seven years

The extension raises hopes for peace in Yemen, which has been devastated by the war for almost a decade resulting in death and displacement. The situation in Yemen has been called the worst human rights disaster of the century

The first round of talks between representatives of the Houthis and the Saudi-backed Presidential Council started in Jordanian capital Amman last week and ended on Sunday without any resolution on the issue of the siege

The Houthis have accused the Saudi Arabia-led coalition of disregarding the main provisions of the UN-sponsored ceasefire agreement by not lifting its blockade on the Sanaa airport and carrying out various forms of aggression
