A delegation of Omani high ranking officials have visited the capital Sana’a to mediate fresh truce between the Saudi-led military coalition and Yemen’s popular resistance movement Ansarullah following more than eight years of conflict.

According to Yemen’s official news agency Saba, delegates arrived on Saturday "to discuss the latest developments in the ongoing negotiations in Muscat with the leadership in Sana'a."

"A delegation from Oman has arrived in Sana'a to hold talks" with Ansarullah's leaders "about the truce and the peace process," a source at the capital's airport was quoted by AFP as saying.

Saudi Arabia and some of its allies began the invasion in March 2015, after Ansarullah took control of Yemen's affairs in the absence of a functioning government. The invaders have been seeking to restore power to its former Riyadh-friendly officials.

Although the coalition has failed to achieve any of its goals, the war has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis and turned the entire country into the scene of what the UN describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

A truce enter into force in Yemen last year, prompting the country to enjoy a six-month-long lull. The agreement, however, was not renewed after it expired on October 2.

The Yemeni news agency added that the Omani delegation was accompanied by Mohammed Abdulsalam, who is the chief negotiator of Yemen’s National Salvation Government.
