Why are MPs thanking Jeremy Hunt for his efforts towards peace in Yemen? | Anna Stavrianakis

The UK government's attempts to justify arms exports to the Saudi-led coalition are becoming ever more absurd

After more than 1,500 days of war in Yemen, in the midst of the world's worst humanitarian disaster, reports of the Houthi withdrawal from Hodeidah port are a welcome but extremely fragile development, surrounded by suspicion and fear.

A Houthi pullout from Hodeidah, Saleef and Ras Issa ports would be one step in the implementation of the Stockholm agreement, but a very small step. There are much wider conflict dynamics to be addressed before we can talk confidently of moves towards peace.
