Houthis

The Houthis are a political and armed movement originating from Yemen, primarily representing the Zaidi Shia Muslim community. They emerged in the 1990s, advocating for greater political influence, economic development, and religious rights for their community. Over time, they became militarized, leading to conflicts with the Yemeni government and involvement in the broader Yemeni Civil War. Their actions and alliances have also drawn regional and international attention, particularly involving neighboring countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Houthis aim to assert their political and religious interests within Yemen's complex, ongoing conflict.
