Yemen president rejects UN peace proposal: presidency source

Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi on Saturday rejected a peace proposal presented to him by UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, a presidency source told AFP.

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.
