也门各交战派系正在前往日内瓦参加和平谈判途中。这是就这个中东国家长达几个月的冲突举行的首次重大和平会谈。

星期一的谈判由联合国促成,将使也门什叶派胡塞反政府武装和正在流亡的哈迪总统做到谈判桌前。

胡塞武装今年2月夺取了也门政府的控制权,迫使哈迪总统逃到沙特首都利雅得。

负责安全事务的官员说,沙特领导的针对反政府武装及其同盟的空袭还在也门的几个省持续进行。这些官员不愿透露姓名,因为他们没有权限向通报记者这些情况。

与此同时,成千上万名胡塞武装的支持者在萨那举行游行,抗议战争,抗议他们所称的对萨那城的围困。

Yemen's warring factions are on their way to Geneva for the first significant talks in the Middle East country’s months-long conflict.

The talks on Monday, facilitated by the United Nations, will bring to the table Yemen’s Shi'ite Houthi rebels and the exiled government of President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi.

The Houthis wrested control of Yemen’s government in February, leading Mr. Hadi to flee to Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

Security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists, said that Saudi-led airstrikes against the rebels and their allies continued in several Yemeni provinces

Meanwhile, thousands of Houthi supporters marched in Sana'a in protest of the war and what they described as the siege of the city.
