Saudi Arabia has announced a new peace initiative in Yemen that includes a ceasefire supervised by the United Nations (UN) and the re-opening of Sana’a airport, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan told Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa).

"We announce an initiative to end the crisis and reach a comprehensive political solution, which includes a comprehensive ceasefire under the supervision of the UN," he told a press conference.
The ceasefire would start immediately if the Houthi rebels, who control the capital Sana'a and other northern areas, accept it.
Saudi Arabia has been leading a military coalition fighting the Houthis since March 2015.
