Former Yemeni president calls for political dialogue to end war

2^min

Yemen's former president Ali Abdullah Saleh called on Friday on all Yemenis to return to a political dialogue to end to the country's conflict.

A dialogue between Yemenis and Saudi Arabia, which has led a nearly month-long bombing campaign targeting the Iran-allied Houthi movement, must take place under the moderation of the United Nations in Geneva, he said.

The Saudi-led coalition announced on Tuesday an end to its nearly bombing campaign in Yemen but a Saudi spokesman said forces would continue to target the Houthis as necessary.

"I call on all conflicting parties in all provinces to stop fighting and return to dialogue in all provinces," Saleh said in an emailed statement.

Saleh said he is ready to reconcile with all parties that have opposed him since 2011. "I will reconcile with all for the interest of the nation."

He further called on all militants, al-Qaeda and armed supporters of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to withdraw from Aden and hand over power to the army and local authorities.

Forces loyal to Saleh, who stepped down after months of protests in 2011 against his 33-year rule, had been fighting alongside the Houthis against Hadi supporters.
