Many people are ignorant of just who the Houthis are and what their goals are. Some casual observers in the US have assumed that the Houthis only oppose Saudi interference in the internal affairs of Yemen. They are often referred to as “rebels.”
That just isn’t the case. The Houthis are outright jihadists.
The Houthi movement’s official name is Ansar Allah, which means Supporters of Allah. The movement originated in northern Yemen in the early 1990s and they are called Houthis because their founder, Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi, was from the Houthi tribe. They are now led by his brother, Abdul Malik al-Houthi.
While the Houthis have gone to some lengths to portray themselves as an anti-corruption movement seeking to create greater economic opportunity for Yemenis and to resist Saudi influence, a closer examination shows that the movement is called Ansar Allah for a reason. They are trained, funded, and armed by Hezbollah and its sponsor, Iran.
Ansar Allah’s slogan is, “God is great, death to the US, death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam.”
One tell-tale sign of just what the Houthis are up to can be seen in this news article linked below. The Houthis have raided beauty salons in the name of fighting the Wuhan virus. Given that they have harassed such establishments before the virus ever appeared, what they’re clearly actually doing is imposing sharia, which is of course the goal of every jihadist group in the world…
