The Huthi Militia, also known as Ansar Allah, is a rebel group based in Yemen that emerged in the early 2000s, initially as a response to perceived marginalization of the Zaydi Shia community. The group has gained significant power and influence, especially since the outbreak of the Yemeni Civil War in 2015, during which it successfully captured the capital, Sana'a. The Huthis are known for their strong ties to Iran, which provides them with military and financial support, and they are seen as part of the broader Iranian 'Axis of Resistance' in the region. Their military actions, including attacks on shipping routes in the Red Sea, have raised concerns about regional stability and the security of vital trade routes.
