Yemen rebel leader offers to leave Saudi Arabia
Yemen Houthi rebel leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi declared a ceasefire with Saudi Arabia and offered to withdraw his group's remaining fighters from the kingdom, the BBC reported Monday (January 25th). Al-Houthi, who made the offer in an audio recording posted on the group's website, called the offer a "positive one". He warned, however, that if Saudi Arabia did not take up his offer to let his fighters return home, then it would mean "open war" on many fronts".
On January 12th, Saudi Arabia had announced that the Houthi fighters had been driven back into Yemen, Al Arabiya reported. But the rebels denied this report and said they were still in control of Al-Jabiri border village.
