也門官員要求胡塞撤出,和談可能推遲

A U.N.-brokered peace conference for Yemen scheduled to take place later this week appeared in doubt Monday with Yemeni officials saying the talks had been postponed.

There was no immediate public confirmation from the U.N. that Thursday's meeting would be delayed.

Yemen's President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, who fled to Saudi Arabia two months ago, has demanded Houthi rebels abide by a U.N. Security Council resolution and withdraw from the territory they have seized before the talks can proceed.

Yemeni officials on Monday cited those demands and described the conference as indefinitely postponed.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the talks last week, urging both sides to participate without any preconditions and to resume working toward a political resolution to the country's crisis.聯合國斡旋的也門和平會談定於星期四舉行，但也門官員星期一說會談被推遲了。

目前聯合國還沒有公開證實這一消息。

兩個月前逃到沙特阿拉伯的也門總統哈迪要求胡塞反政府武裝在和談開始前，遵守聯合國安理會決議，撤出他們佔據的地區。

也門官員星期一重申這些條件，並且說和平會議無限期推遲。

聯合國祕書長潘基文上週宣佈了也門和談計劃，敦促雙方無條件參加，恢復尋求政治解決也門危機。
