Separatists and Saudi-Backed Gov't in Yemen Reach Ceasefire Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Yemen, southern separatist forces have reportedly reached a
ceasefire with Yemen's Saudi-backed government. This comes two months
after the separatists, who are backed by the United Arab Emirates,
declared self-rule in the port city of Aden and nearby provinces. The
two factions had been on the same side in the devastating U.S.-backed
war against the Houthi rebels.
