The former President of Yemen Ali Abdullah Saleh has suggested that he is open to talks with the Saudi-led coalition which his forces have been fighting for years. He said that he would be ready to turn the page if the coalition lifted a blockade on northern Yemen and halted its attacks. <br/><br/>The offer came as clashes worsened between Mr Saleh's forces and their former allies, the Houthis. The rift could have significant implications for Yemen's civil war. The two groups had been fighting the government of current President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi together for nearly three years.
