Prisoner Swap Is The First Step To Peace in Yemen

-

The Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia is extremely serious about restoring peaceful governance in Yemen. Showing its sense of responsibility and seriousness towards the recently signed Riyadh Agreement, the coalition has said that it has now released 200 Houthi prisoners to support peace efforts and ending the nearly five-year war in Yemen.

The Kingdom led Arab Coalition moves towards swapping prisoners of civil war in Yemen 



The Arab Coalition has been supporting the UN recognized government in Yemen. Adding onto the reason taking this action, coalition spokesperson Col. Turki Al-Maliki has added that the purpose is to pave the way for a larger and long-delayed prisoner swap agreed upon last year.

As a part of humanitarian actions within the agreement, the coalition is going to be conducting flights in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO) to transport patients from Sanaa to countries where they can receive appropriate medical treatment.

The prisoner swap was part of UN-negotiated agreement reached in Sweden last December. The agreement involved a cease-fire in the port of Hodeida.

The legitimate government in Yemen and the Southern Transitional Council (STC) recently signed the “Riyadh Agreement” under the auspices of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who officially announced the deal.

Saudi Arabia is looking at broader peace talks from here on along with a political settlement.  Saudi Arabia and its allies have been on war with the Iran backed Houthis militia since 2015, after the illegal capture of the capital of Sanna in Yemen.

Under the Riyadh Agreement, Yemen will get to go back to its legitimate government within seven days. It will also see the unification of all military formations under the authority of the Ministries of Interior and Defense, and the formation of an efficient government made up equally between the north and south of Yemen.
