  • The Houthi Movement Unveiled

    The Houthi Movement, also known as Ansar Allah (Partisans of God), is a heavily-armed extremist organization rooted in Yemen.

    Predominantly Zaidi Shiites, they exert control over 13 out of Yemen’s 21 governorates, where approximately 70% of the population resides.

    The Houthis proudly declare themselves part of the Iranian-led “axis of resistance,” standing against Israel, the United States, and the broader Western world.

    Alongside groups like Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, they champion the cause of Yemen’s Shia Muslim minority.

    Emerging in the 1990s, the movement derives its name from its late founder, Hussein al-Houthi, with his brother, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, currently at the helm.

    Their struggle for greater autonomy in the north of Yemen has shaped their tumultuous history, and their actions continue to reverberate across regional dynamics.

    The Houthi Movement’s influence extends beyond Yemen’s borders. Their alliance with Iran has drawn international attention, with accusations of Iranian support in terms of weaponry and training.

    Their control over key areas, including the capital city of Sana’a, has disrupted Yemen’s political landscape, leading to a protracted civil war.

    As the conflict persists, the Houthis remain a formidable force, navigating alliances, ideological battles, and geopolitical chess.
