Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for more than five months (168 days) now to restore power to runaway president Abed-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 5,788 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and kiddies.

They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives.

| #1 In February 2014 a committee of senior members of Yemen's political parties, and chaired by Yemen President Mansur Hadi, agreed to recreate a perpetually fractious Yemen into a federation of six regions. The participants thus rejected a two state solution -- a North and South -- the same situation that existed from 1967-1990 and was cause of much bloodshed. One region created was devoted to the Shiite Houthi minority. The meeting and subsequent agreement were sponsored by the Gulf states and the UN. However, the Houthi soon broke the cease-fire and must now face the consequence. Despite Iranian support the Houthi homeland is being bombed, and the Saudis will not quit until the region returns to the 12th century and the Shiite community is decimated. |
