The U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense called for the cessation of hostilities in Yemen and for talks between opposing forces in a civil war that has raged on for over three years.

“It is time to end this conflict, replace conflict with compromise, and allow the Yemeni people to heal through peace and reconstruction,” State Secretary Mike Pompeo said in an Oct. 30 statement.
