It’s been hailed as real progress to end the crisis in Yemen: Warring parties have reached a ceasefire agreement for the Red Sea port city of Hudaydah.

The agreement was reached after days of UN-brokered peace talks in Sweden. More than 70 percent of Yemen’s imports used to pass through the docks of Hudaydah. Meanwhile, the US Senate voted to end US military support for war in Yemen and that has been described as a historic rebuke to both Saudi Arabia and the Trump administration.
