Houthis positioned as the 'most lethal non-state actor' in the Middle East: expert | ABC NEWS

&quot;,,, unfortunately for for the international community for the Gulf countries and indeed for the Yemen government all of which sort of ally together to recognize the Yemen government of Saudi Arabia of of Yemen.&quot; LOL. Talk about Freudian slips. The Yemen government of Saudi Arabia, indeed. Ansar Allah (who Western governments and media insist on calling &quot;the Houthis&quot;) control 2/3 of the populated area of Yemen, including the capital. The &quot;Internationally Recognized Government&quot; of Yemen is a Saudi backed group supported by the US (hence its international recognition as the &quot;real&quot; government despite the facts.) The trigger for the Yemeni takeover of Saudi backed installations was the Saudi attack on a planeload of Yemeni officials and their wives and children, returning from the funeral of the assassinated Ayatollah in Iran - the Saudi attack was to reinforce the longstanding genocidal Saudi/UAE blockade of Yemen.<br>The expert is a US government mouthpiece mouthing US government propaganda. The last expert ABC interviewed on this was a the mouthpiece of an Australia-wide network of University Institutes backed by the US government.<br>ABC listeners deserve better.

Non-state? Yemen is in a civil war and the Houthis control the capital and 70% of the population live in areas under the control of the Houthis. The &quot;Houthis&quot; are the effective and de facto government of Yemen in a situation of civil war. The other so-called official government is in exile.
