Since the longest ceasefire between Yemen’s warring parties ended without renewal late last year, Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed Houthis have once again been engaging in back-channel talks. While the negotiations have managed to achieve an immediate aim of maintaining an unofficial sort of temporary truce, they seem unlikely to help either side find a way out of the conflict.

This came as Yemen’s internationally recognized government announced that the Saudi-led coalition that backs it lifted wartime restrictions on shipments to the import-reliant country.
