The Yemeni government and the Houthis will swap prisoners and detainees starting Friday as part of a deal concluded in Switzerland. This will take place in parallel to diplomatic movements in Riyadh aimed at supporting Saudi and Omani efforts to persuade Yemeni parties to accept a proposed peace map.
Since last Sunday, Saudi and Omani diplomats have been trying to persuade the Houthis to agree to a peace map that includes securing a ceasefire and renewing and expanding the truce.
