Outline of the Houthi movement

The following is a topical outline of the English language Wikipedia articles on the topic of the Houthis.

The Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, is a Zaydi revivalist and Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaydis, whose namesake leadership is drawn largely from the al-Houthi family. The group has been a central player in Yemen's civil war, drawing widespread international condemnation for its human rights abuses, including targeting civilians. The movement is designated as a terrorist organization by some countries and they are widely considered part of the Iranian-led "Axis of Resistance".
