Fighting in Yemeni city dies down as cease-fire takes holdSANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen's key port city of Hodeida was calm Tuesday morning, hours after a U.N.-mediated cease-fire went into effect between government-allied forces and the country's rebels, Yemeni officials said. Fighting subsided as the cease-fire took effect, with only the sporadic sound of automatic weapons fire heard in the city, where the port handles about 70 percent of Yemen's imports. Yemen's four-year conflict pits the internationally recognized government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, against Shiite rebels known as Houthis. Houthis must commit themselves to this ceasefire agreement. It’s in their interests primarily to honor what had agreed upon in Stockholm. Yemen

Saudi Attempts to Win Over Locals in Yemen Stir AngerSaudi Arabia is funding infrastructure and health projects in Yemen’s east to build loyalty and keep hostile forces, particularly Iran-backed Houthi rebels, from exploiting Yemen’s chaos. But locals bristle over what they call the Saudi “occupation.” Pretty sure Saudi's efforts to bomb schools, mosques, open air markets, bus fulls of children, along with blocking aide from getting into the country for starving civilians is creating that level of appropriate distrust. This is victim blaming 101. Absurd. I can see Saudi money in every line of this article... The Saudi's 'offering' to build new infrastructure via their military is ridiculous and it is easy to see why Yemeni people do not trust them after being bombed to shit. This is occupation dressed up as 'help'.

Land mines will be hidden killer in Yemen decades after warADEN, Yemen (AP) — They lurk under shifting desert sands, amid the debris of urban roadsides and inside abandoned schools, some set to go off at the lightest touch. Land mines scattered by Yemen's Houthi rebels are largely unmapped and will remain a threat even if the latest push for peace succeeds in halting the conflict, those involved in their eradication say. While the Houthis' use of Scud and other retrofitted ballistic missiles has drawn attention for striking deep inside Saudi Arabia, their widespread use of mines represents a risk for generations to come in the Arab world's poorest country. Things going on in this world make me sad. Drones can be built to find and remove them
