News - Middle East: The turn of events in recent months, amid the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, has demonstrated to the world the awe-inspiring bravery and heroism of the Yemeni government and its military.

The Ansarullah resistance movement, which is currently running the affairs of the Arab country, including its military, has walked out of its way to express solidarity with the people of Palestine.
A series of attacks on Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea, as well as vessels belonging to the US and UK, by the Yemeni military, has prompted major shipping companies to avoid the strategic waterway, inflicting a heavy blow to the regime’s already fledgling economy.
With the Ansarullah resistance movement the topic of discussion around the world, some erroneously calling it an “Iranian proxy”, it’s necessary to put things into proper perspective.
The analysis of Ansarullah, known in the West as ‘Houthis’, and its relations with the Islamic Republic is often not understood outside the political discourse known as "sponsor-proxy." This doctrine questions the autonomy of the Yemeni group by dubbing it as a "tool in the hands of Iran."
According to this Western doctrine, Iran, as a state, uses its power to control the Yemeni group.
This is a political relationship based on a revolutionary vision articulated around Islam between the Islamic Republic, as a defender of oppressed nations worldwide, and the Yemeni resistance group.
Ansarullah's rejection of Saudi interference in the country is explained by the sense of oppression and absence of justice that the people of Yemen felt and complained about for years.
It was precisely this rejection, anchored in a political dimension with Islamic origins, which explains the repeated uprisings against the former Saudi-backed government in Yemen between 2004 and 2010.
In 2011, during the "Arab Spring," the grievances of the Yemeni population reached a critical point, leading to massive protests demanding the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who had ruled the country with an iron hand for over 30 years.
After Saleh's exit, Saudi Arabia backed Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi as the new leader of the Arab country. Ansarullah and the people of Yemen rejected his election and launched a popular uprising against the new Saudi-backed government, which was followed by the Saudi-led coalition’s aggression.
