DUBAI, Oct 30 : The UN special envoy for Yemen said on Thursday he was confident that peace talks between the government and Shiite rebels will "probably" be held in mid-November in Geneva.
Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, contacted in the Gulf by telephone, told AFP his team was in contact with the Yemeni parties to discuss the modalities of the UN-brokered peace talks.
"I am very optimistic" that the talks will take place "bet-ween 10 and 15" November or "around November 15", he said.     ?AFP
