Yemen Warring Factions Agree to Largest Prisoner Swap to DateTue 23rd Dec, 2025Rival groups embroiled in Yemen's prolonged civil conflict have reached a consensus on what is set to be the most extensive prisoner exchange since the onset of hostilities. Approximately 2,900 detainees are expected to be released as part of an agreement between Yemen's internationally recognized government and the Houthi movement. This latest agreement surpasses a previous major prisoner exchange that took place in 2023, during which approximately 900 individuals were released. The conflict in Yemen continues to draw attention from international actors due to its regional implications and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. While the prisoner swap marks a positive milestone, analysts note that significant challenges remain before a comprehensive resolution to the conflict can be achieved.
