United Nations, May 4 (RHC)-- The United Nations says peace talks between Yemen's warring sides are resuming in Kuwait on Wednesday, three days after delegates loyal to Saudi-backed leader Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi abandoned them.

The talks were halted on Sunday after the Saudi-backed representatives suspended their participation in protest at Ansarullah movement's recent takeover of a military base in the northwestern Amran Province.  Ahmed said the committee monitoring the country's ceasefire would submit a report in 72 hours about recent fighting in the country and recommendations to both sides.

Peace talks began on April 21 in Kuwait City, with both sides holding face-to-face meetings to find a political solution to months of clashes in the impoverished Arab country and establish peace.

Yemen has seen almost daily military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March 2015, with domestic sources putting the toll from the bloody aggression at more than 9,500.
