Yemen president rejects UN peace proposal amid ongoing violence
Updated | By AFP
Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi on Saturday rejected a peace proposal presented to him by UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, according to a presidency source.

President Hadi "received Ould Cheikh Ahmed and refused to take the UN proposal" handed to him by the envoy, the source said.
Contents of the roadmap which the envoy presented to the rebels on Tuesday have not been made public, but according to informed sources its terms include easing Hadi out of power.
Meanwhile, Saudi-led coalition air strikes killed at least 10 civilians in a battleground town southeast of Yemen's third city Taez on Saturday, the rebels, a medic and a loyalist official said.
The rebel-controlled sabanews.net website said 10 people were killed and seven wounded when the strikes hit residential buildings in the town of Salo where clashes with government forces are raging.
A doctor at the town's public hospital said it had received the bodies of 15 dead and seven wounded.
A local official loyal to the Saudi-backed government said a child and seven women were among 11 people killed when two coalition air strikes hit three homes by mistake.
