Yemen’s ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh has welcomed a UN peace proposal to end the country’s 19-month war as a “good basis for negotiations” in signs of faltering ties between him and the Houthi militias. Saleh made his comments as UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheickh Ahmed held meetings in the capital Sanaa with Houthi militias and negotiators representing forces loyal to him. Saleh says his only conditions to accepting the peace plan is the halt in all military operations, withdrawal of foreign troops in the country and ending crippling international sanctions on the country.
