Overview of Yemen's Houthi Movement and Its Regional Impact
The Houthi movement, originating in Yemen's Zaydi Shia community in the 1990s, has grown from a religious and political group into a significant armed force controlling much of northern Yemen. Since seizing the capital Sanaa in 2014, the Houthis have engaged in a prolonged conflict with Yemen's internationally recognized government, backed by Saudi Arabia. The group, known as Ansar Allah, employs ballistic missiles and drones, impacting regional security and maritime routes. Iran is widely reported to support the Houthis with weapons and training, while Saudi Arabia remains a primary adversary.
