Credit: Reuters/Yemen Army/Handout SANAA (Reuters) - The Yemeni government and northern Shi'ite rebels agreed on Thursday to end a war that has raged sporadically since 2004 and drawn in neighboring Saudi Arabia, officials from both sides said. World | Saudi Arabia A truce was to begin at midnight. The Yemeni government, simultaneously battling a resurgent al Qaeda and southern separatists in addition to the northern insurgents, had been exchanging proposals with the Shi'ite rebels for several days to end the conflict. "We decided to stop military operations in the northwest region starting from midnight tonight (2100 GMT)," a government statement broadcast on state media said. "That is to stop the bloodshed and bring peace to the northwest region and to return the displaced to their villages," it said. The leader of the rebels, who complain of social, religious and economic discrimination, also ordered his fighters to abide by the ceasefire. "According to what was agreed upon, Abdel-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi issued instructions to all fronts and fighting sites to stop firing coinciding with the timing announced by the government," a rebel statement said. One analyst said he was optimistic about the truce holding. "This looks like a real thing. It has been prepared for weeks. Both sides seem genuinely committed," independent political analyst Abdul-Ghani al-Iryani said. The turmoil in Yemen has raised fears in the West and Saudi Arabia that the country may become a failed state, allowing al Qaeda to use it as a base for attacks on the top oil exporter and beyond. A Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a U.S. jet in December had links to Yemen. Riyadh was drawn into the conflict in November when the rebels seized some Saudi territory, complaining that Riyadh was letting Yemeni troops use its land for attacks against them. Riyadh declared victory over the rebels last month after insurgents offered a separate truce and said they had quit Saudi territory. Rebels say Saudi airstrikes have continued. WILL TRUCE LAST Yemeni officials have said that as part of a ceasefire deal, Sanaa would allow rebel representatives to sit on a committee overseeing the truce, and insurgents would hand over weapons they seized from the Yemeni and Saudi forces. "I am optimistic this time that the Houthis will be committed and the ceasefire will last," a senior Yemeni government official said, referring to rebels named after the family name of their leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. The Shi'ite rebels conditions included removing checkpoints, withdrawing government forces and clarifying the fate of kidnapped foreigners. The government says the rebels must also return captured military and civilian equipment, stay out of local politics and end border hostilities with Saudi Arabia. The Yemeni government statement said the Houthis had now also agreed to an additional condition, the ending of attacks on Saudi Arabia, which Sanaa added after Riyadh launched an assault against the rebels in November. One official said President Ali Abdullah Saleh had briefed a committee charged with supervising conditions for a truce on his "position to stop the war." Yemen state television said the government and rebels had also formed four smaller joint committees to supervise the truce in four areas, including on the Yemen-Saudi border. The committees were to start work on Friday, and one official said they would be flexible on the timeline for truce conditions to be fulfilled. The deadline for the full implementation of the truce had been a point of contention, with the rebels asking for more time for their fighters to leave mountainous positions, they said. Qatar brokered a short-lived ceasefire between the government and rebels in 2007 and a peace deal in 2008, but clashes soon broke out again. Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh unilaterally declared the war over in July 2008. Full-scale fighting resumed a year later.
