Yemen's exiled president backs out of talks with rebels
September 13, 2015
Yemen's internationally recognised president will not participate in UN-brokered talks later this week with Shiite rebels who control the capital and much of the country's north, his office said today.
The statement said there would be no talks with the rebels, known as Houthis, unless they accept a UN resolution that obliges them to withdraw from areas they seized and surrender weapons taken from state institutions.
