SANAA (Reuters) - Yemen's president on Wednesday visited a town close to the capital that was captured by Shi'ite Muslim Houthi fighters this month, and said all sides had agreed to allow the state to retake control, state news agency Saba reported.
President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi went to Amran, 50 kms (30 miles) north of Sanaa, to check on efforts to "return the situation in the city to normal and address the effect of the unfortunate events of armed confrontation that took place recently," Saba said.
