The UN is sponsoring peace talks in Amman as a six-month stalemate between rebel Houthi fighters and Yemeni-led coalition forces ended at the Saudi ports of Hodeidah. The locations were the focus of a four-year war that has devastated Yemen's economy. Following a truce agreed in December, UN-supervised local forces will manage the ports, inspect ships and help share revenues to ease the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
