Houthi movement
The Houthi movement is an Islamic political and armed movement that emerged from Sa’dah in northern Yemen in the 1990s. The Houthis took part in the 2011 Yemeni Revolution by participating in street protests and by coordinating with other opposition groups. In late 2014, Houthis repaired their relationship with the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, and with his help, they took control of the capital and much of the north. Since 2015, the Houthis have been resisting the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen that claims to seek to restore the internationally recognized Yemeni government.
About Houthi movement in brief
The Houthi movement is an Islamic political and armed movement that emerged from Sa’dah in northern Yemen in the 1990s. The Houthis took part in the 2011 Yemeni Revolution by participating in street protests and by coordinating with other opposition groups. In late 2014, Houthis repaired their relationship with the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, and with his help, they took control of the capital and much of the north. Since 2015, the Houthis have been resisting the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen that claims to seek to restore the internationally recognized Yemeni government to power. The Islamic State militant group has attacked all of the conflict’s major parties including Houthis, Saleh forces, the Yemeni government, and the Saudi Arabian-led coalition forces. The Houthi have launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Saudi cities, widely seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Their views include shoring up against the perceived threat of Saudi-influenced ideologies and a general condemnation of the former Yemeni government’s alliance with the United States, along with complaints regarding corruption and marginalisation of the Houthi-majority areas of the country. They are of the Zaidi school, though the movement also includes Sunnis. The movement’s expressed goals include combating economic underdevelopment and political marginalization in Yemen. They also claim to support a more democratic non-sectarian republic in Yemen, and have made fighting corruption the centerpiece of their political program.
They joined the National Dialogue Conference in Yemen as part of the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative to broker peace following the unrest. They would later reject the November 2011 GCC deal’s provisions stipulating formation of six federal regions in Yemen,. Claimed that the deal did not fundamentally reform governance and that the proposed federalization \”divided Yemen into poor and wealthy regions\”. Houthis also feared the deal was a blatant attempt to weaken them by dividing areas under their control between separate regions. In 2003, the group’s slogan \”God is great, death to the US,. death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam\”, became the group’s trademark. Although Hussein al-Houthi, who was killed in 2004, according to Zaida Youth, contributed to the radicalisation of some Zaydis-affiliated youth, he had no official relation with Believing Youth. The group has been described as a reaction to foreign intervention by Adam Adam Adam, Baron of the European Council on Foreign Relations. Their first organization was founded in 1992 in Saada Governorate: 1008 by either Mohammed al-houthi or his brother Hussein al theouthi. By 1994–1995, 15–20,000 students had attended BY summer camps. The Believing youth established school clubs and summer camps: 98 in order to ‘promote a Zaido revival’ in Sa’dah.
