Secretary-General welcomes reported ceasefire in northern Yemen

UNITED NATIONS INFORMATIONCENTER - 12 February 2010
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today said that he is encouraged by news of a ceasefire agreement having been struck in northern Yemen, where 250,000 civilians have been uprooted since clashes in the country erupted in 2004.
International concern has mounted about the situation in Yemen, where Government forces have been fighting Al Houthi rebels in the northwest and extremist groups such as Al-Qaida are considered to be active. The country is one of the poorest in its region and also faces a periodic influx of refugees from across the seas in the Horn of Africa.
