DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A delegation from Yemen’s Houthi rebels has flown into Saudi Arabia for talks with the kingdom on potentially ending the yearslong war tearing at the Arab world’s poorest nation, officials say. The substance of the letters was not publicly acknowledged by either country, but it came as an Omani delegation visited Houthi officials in Sanaa. The English-language newspaper Arab News, which is owned by a company long tied to the kingdom’s royal family, reported that 10-member Houthi delegation had flown into Riyadh on Thursday night. The internationally recognized government fled to the south and then into exile in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, its local allies and the Houthis conducted a prisoner exchange in April as part of peace talk efforts.
