DUBAI (Reuters) – Yemen’s Houthi forces have started to redeploy inside the port city of Hodeidah as part of the U.N.-sponsored peace agreement signed in Sweden earlier this month, a U.N. source said on Saturday.

Both sides, the Iran-aligned Houthis and the Saudi-backed government, agreed on a ceasefire in Hodeidah province and withdrawal of their armed forces during the meetings that took place in Sweden
