Yemen's Houthi movement and the internationally recognized government have reached a landmark agreement to exchange nearly 3,000 prisoners, marking the largest such swap since the war began over a decade ago. The deal, brokered after two weeks of negotiations in Oman's capital, includes the release of seven Saudis and 23 Sudanese, with both sides confirming the arrangement but withholding details on the timeline. International observers, including the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, are urging swift implementation to bolster ongoing peace efforts. The agreement comes amid continued tensions, with the Houthis facing criticism for detaining United Nations staff and sentencing aid workers to death on unproven espionage charges. Despite a largely held ceasefire since 2022, a lasting peace deal in Yemen remains elusive.
