Houthi ceasefire followed US intel showing militants sought off-ramp

The Houthis and the United States agreed to a ceasefire in Yemen, effective from May 6, 2025, following diplomatic efforts in Oman.
This agreement followed renewed US airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas and escalating regional tensions involving cross-attacks with Israel and instability in the Red Sea.
China's Deputy UN Representative Sun Lei welcomed the ceasefire, urged all parties to resume political dialogue, ease Red Sea tensions, and scale up humanitarian assistance amid worsening conditions.
Yemen faces a severe humanitarian crisis with half its children malnourished, 9.6 million women and girls needing urgent aid, and just nine percent of 2025 funding received, as Mr. Fletcher emphasized.
The ceasefire offers a chance to de-escalate conflict, but significant mistrust and regional instability remain, requiring continued international engagement to support a Yemeni-led political solution.
