Yemen: Warring Parties Agree to Start Hodeidah Withdrawal
---------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, warring factions have agreed to the first phase of a planned
withdrawal from the port city of Hodeidah after a round of U.N.-led
talks over the weekend. The U.N. hailed the "important progress" made
during the talks, which came two months after a fragile ceasefire deal
was reached in December, but warring parties failed to meet the original
deadline.
