SANAA, Yemen — Clashes erupted May 15 between forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized government and Houthi rebels in the port city of Hodeidah, despite what the United Nations said was a successful withdrawal by Houthis from the ports of Hodeidah, Saleef and Ras Issa.
Yemen's internationally recognized government's Minister of Information Moammar al-Eryani took to Twitter May 12, describing the Houthis’ withdrawal as misleading and unacceptable.
