Yemen truce in effect: loyalist chief of staff
Daesh militants
Marib - Arab Today
A UN-brokered truce began in Yemen at midnight Sunday (2100 GMT), the loyalist military's chief of staff said ahead of new talks to reach a lasting peace deal for the war-wracked country.
"The ceasefire has taken effect and we are going to respect it... unless the Huthi rebels violate it," General Mohamed Ali al-Makdashi told reporters.
Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels vowed to respect the truce, joining other combatants in supporting the ceasefire.
The Huthis, along with allied troops loyal to ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh, have sent the United Nations a letter committing to "cease land, sea and air military operations" throughout Yemen, according to a communique carried by the rebel-run Saba news agency.
A Saudi-led coalition has for more than a year been supporting the loyalist forces of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi against the Iran-backed Shiite Huthis who seized much of Yemen.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
