Yemeni Gov't Signs Truce with Shiite Rebels 
--------------------------------------------


 
The Yemeni government has signed a peace deal with Shiite Houthi rebels
after days of fighting that killed dozens of people and displaced
thousands more. The agreement calls for an immediate ceasefire and a
process for forming a new government. But it is unclear if the Houthis
will relinquish a number of major advances nationwide, including the
seizure of key government buildings in the capital Sana'a.
