DUBAI (Sputnik) — Yemen has been mired in a military conflict between government forces and Houthis, backed by army unites loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Since March, a Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against Houthi positions at the request of current Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.
"All coalition forces are seeking to regain security and stability in Yemen, because we have a good opportunity to establish real and strong peace," Bahah was quoted as saying by the WAM news agency.
According to the news outlet, Bahah made this statement on Wednesday at a meeting with UN Special Envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, in Riyadh, during which the next round of negotiations of Yemeni government with Houthis and their supporters was discussed.
