number one the resolution says that the houthis should step down quote immediately and unconnolly and also withdraw all of their forces from any government offices including the presidential palace. number two another key point is that it says that the rudies should release all government officials that are currently under house arrest, that includes the president hadi and prime minister and cabinet members as well. and the third key point out of this resolution i think also is that it urges the houthis to engage in peace negotiations in good faith manner. primarily, through the u.n. brokered peace talks as well as the gulf corporation council talks, the c.c. talks as well. -- g.c.c. talks as well. yepyemen is at the crossroads of africa, asia and the middle
