The UN envoy to Yemen has returned to Sanaa and resumed contact with major political players to find a way out of a deepening crisis caused by a Shia Houthi takeover.
Envoy Jamal Benomar left suddenly for Saudi Arabia last week, where he is believed to have held consultations with visiting UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
He returned to Sanaa late on Saturday and has since held meetings with all the main political factions, including leaders of the ruling Revolutionary Committee set up by the Houthis, participants in the talks said on Sunday.
The Houthis remain defiant after staging a coup on Friday, when they announced themselves as the country's new leaders.
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi defended the takeover, telling his followers that it was a revolution.
