(VOVworld) – Houthi rebels are ready to sit down for peace talks as long as the Saudi-led airstrikes stop, according to a senior Houthi member, Saleh al-Sammad. In an email to Reuters on Sunday, al-Sammad said the group had no other conditions except a halt to the aggression, adding that negotiations could be observed by any "non-aggressive” organizations.
