[DAWN] The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said on Tuesday an Arab coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen  ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...was cooperating with a UN envoy to end fighting, but the Houthis must quit the port city of Hodeidah as a condition for any peace deal. UN envoy Martin Griffiths is visiting the southern city of Aden on Wednesday for talks with ousted President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi in the exiled governments temporary capital, after similar talks with the Houthis in Sanaa last week. The UN is seeking a breakthrough in the three-year-old conflict that has killed more than 10,000 and caused the worlds most urgent humanitarian crisis, with millions facing starvation and disease.
