Al Jazeera: Yemen peace talks in Geneva collapse
Foreign Minister Riad Yassin says his delegation plans to leave the negotiations and return to Riyadh on Saturday.
The Yemen peace talks in the Swiss city of Geneva have collapsed, with the foreign minister of the government-in-exile blaming the Houthi representatives of refusing to meet with them.
Foreign Minister Riad Yassin told Al Jazeera on Friday that his delegation plans to leave the negotiations and return to Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
"Until this time we have not achieved anything. Unfortunately, still the Houthis have not complied with anything," Yassin told Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra.
"There is no progress for the time being. We did not receive any proposal."
Yassin said that Houthi representatives have even refused to leave their hotel in Geneva.
WNU Editor: There is no common ground among the parties involved. My prediction .... the war will continue and the humanitarian crisis will only grow.
