UN: Rebels in Yemen withdraw

"Some representatives of the internationally recognised government in Yemen continues, despite the UN saying the opposite – to dismiss Huthirebellernas withdrawal from the three port cities as a trick."

"According to the experts, it can take time to find out whether there is indeed a withdrawal in accordance with the agreement on the ceasefire, which was signed in Sweden in december."

" Agreement is very difficult to implement because the lines (where the warring parties are) is blurred, and each side interprets it as they want. Basically, it will in the next two weeks to show whether it really is surrender or even a hangover, " says Farea al-Muslimi, an analyst at the think tank Chatham House in London."

"the UN-committee RCC – leading the effort to move the fighting troops further away from each other – claim that the rebels, supported by shi'ite Iran, has joined on a one-sided movement from the very important ports of al-Hudaydah, Salif and Ras Isa on the Red sea.

"Agreement in Sweden stopped only fighting in al-Hudaydah – the challenge is to turn this into a national agreement which includes all," he says."

"Under the agreement, the two warring parties troops are withdrawn from the port cities of al-Hudaydah, Salif and Ras Isa and cede control to local authorities under the auspices of the united nations. The first of these is used many forms of transport and is considered crucial to get humanitarian aid, the other port is used for the transportation of grain, and the third for the transportation of oil."

"In the first phase, Huthirebellerna pull back five kilometers from the ports between Saturday and Tuesday. Motsidans forces, which today stands four kilometres from the port of al-Hudaydah, to pull back one kilometer."

"In the later second phase, the two sides pull away their troops to a distance of 18 kilometers from the cities, while heavy weapons must be moved 30 kilometers away."
