Yemeni troops gather to meet Defence Min

Yemeni troops gather to meet Defence Minister Mohammad Nasser Ahmad during his visit to the frontline in the northern province of Saada on February 12, 2010. The Yemeni army said fighting halted on all fronts as a truce with Shiite rebels came into force six months after the government ordered a major offensive to try to end a six-year uprising. Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh announced the ceasefire late on February 11 and rebel leader Abdul Malak al-Huthi ordered his fighters to respect it.
