Yemen combatants wide apart on sharing vital port revenues


AMMAN (Reuters) - Yemen's warring parties on Thursday failed to agree on how to manage revenues from Hodeidah port that could help relieve the urgent humanitarian needs of millions, delegates and U.N. sources at U.N.-facilitated discussions in Jordan said.

Both sides differed in separate talks with U.N. teams on how the central bank, which is split into rival head offices, should handle revenues from Hodeidah, a vital import hub, and Yemen's other main Red Sea ports of Saleef and Ras Isa, delegates said.
