Yemen’s warring factions began a long-awaited prisoner swap on Friday. The deal is a further sign of peace in the war-torn country, though a long-term agreement on ending the conflict remains elusive.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it began a “multi-day operation” to transfer nearly 900 detainees in Yemen. The detainees have undergone health assessments and will be flown in and out of several cities in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the ICRC said in a series of tweets.
