ALBAWABA- The internationally recognized Yemeni government and the Houthis have reached a significant agreement to de-escalate tensions related to the banking sector and air travel.
According to a statement released today by the UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, both parties have agreed on several measures.
These include canceling recent decisions against banks, resuming and increasing Yemenia Airways flights between Sana’a and Jordan to three daily, and operating flights to Cairo and India as needed.
Additionally, they will address administrative, technical, and financial challenges faced by Yemenia Airways and convene meetings to discuss economic and humanitarian issues based on a roadmap.
The parties have requested UN support in implementing these commitments, and Grundberg acknowledged the significant role of Saudi Arabia in facilitating this agreement.
However, the Governor of the Central Bank of Yemen, aligned with the internationally recognized government, resigned in protest of the deal, citing concerns that halting central bank decisions strengthens the Houthis' dominance in the banking sector.
