也門停火結束聯軍恢復空襲

The Saudi-led coalition has resumed airstrikes against Shi'ite rebels in Yemen after the end of a five-day humanitarian cease-fire.

The cease-fire expired late Sunday and the coalition airstrikes hit rebel positions in the southern port city of Aden.

Since late March, the coalition has been bombing Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen who had seized Sana'a.

Earlier Sunday, Yemeni political leaders met in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, to discuss a negotiated settlement to the ongoing conflict. No representative of the Houthi rebel group attended.

The Houthis have rejected the main aim of the three-day talks -- the restoration of Yemen's internationally recognized President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi.

Mr. Hadi told the conference attendees that the Yemeni people await stability, which can only come if the country's legitimate government and its institutions are restored and the Houthi rebels are disarmed. He denounced the group's power grab last year after a national political power-sharing agreement had been reached.

The United Nations says more than 1,500 people have been killed, 6,200 wounded and 450,000 have become displaced in the Yemen conflict.在5天的人道主義停火結束以後，沙特領導的聯軍恢復了對也門什葉派武裝的空襲。

停火在星期天晚間到期。 聯軍的空襲襲擊了反政府武裝在也門南部城市亞丁的陣地。

3月底以來，聯軍一直對伊朗支持的也門胡塞反政府武裝進行轟炸。這個武裝佔領了也門首都薩那。

星期天早些時候，也門政治領袖在沙特首都利雅得會面，討論一項爲解決當下衝突而正在談判的協議。沒有胡塞反政府武裝的代表出席。

胡塞武裝拒絕接受三天談判的主要目標。那就是，恢復得到國際承認的也門總統哈迪的地位。

哈迪對與會者說，也門人民正在期盼穩定，但只有當也門的合法政府和機構得到恢復、胡塞反叛武裝被繳械，這種穩定纔會到來。他譴責胡塞武裝在去年全國政治權力共享協議達成後奪權。

聯合國說，在此次也門衝突中，有1500多人喪生，6200人受傷，45萬人流離失所。
