The US said it would consider revoking its recent designation of Yemen’s Houthis as terrorists if the Iran-backed militants cease their shipping attacks in and around the Red Sea.

    It is not unrelated trade though. And yes signatories of the UN convention on prevention of genocide have a duty to take action to prevent genocide. Ansarallah are upholding best they can.

    Everything else you mentioned is pure whataboustims and has nothing to do with their operations in the Red Sea.

      Houthis are a rebel group not UN recognized countries. The UN has condemned their attacks on commercial vessels. You’re literally advocating for terrorists with a long standing record of human rights abuses.

        Regardless of whether the UN recognizes them or not, they govern over 80% of the Yemeni population with popular support. Far more legitimate than the other Saudi/US puppet government.

        And they’re currently working to stop supplies to a genocidal colony. That already makes them more moral than pretty any other government in the world right now.
