The UN’s Yemen envoy Martin Griffiths has met the country’s Huthi rebels in a push for new peace talks, as fighting continued Friday around the strategic port city of Hodeida.

Mohammed Abdulsalam, head of the Huthi delegation, and fellow rebel official Abdelmalak al-Ajri discussed the reasons for their absence from Geneva with the United Nations envoy, the rebel-run Saba news agency said.
