    Because “Houthi” are a Yemeni tribe and not the name of the group, the group calls themselves “Ansarallah”, it’s like if you call the ANC of South Africa the “Thembus”

      Wasn’t it called the “Houthi Movement” primarily because the majority of the main leaders were from the Houthi tribe, with many having the al-Houthi surname?

      Doubt Libs would care to make the distinction anyways.
