Understanding the heroism of Yemen Part 1

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/history/understanding-heroism-of-yemen-pt1/ It suits western imperialism that the origins and ideological underpinnings of the so-called ‘Houthi’ movement should remain unknown. The Yemeni ‘Houthi’ Ansar Allah movement shot to prominence in late 2023 when, following the beginning of the US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinians of Gaza, the movement’s forces announced that they were shutting down access to the Red Sea through the Bab-el-Mandeb strait for all Israeli-linked shipping – a threat that they quickly proved they were totally capable of enforcing. Despite this sudden worldwide prominence, the ‘Houthi’ movement’s origins and ideological underpinnings remain largely unknown and under-studied – primarily because this suits the interests of western imperialism, which fears the movement becoming an example for other oppressed nations to follow. Based on a presentation delivered at Saklatvala Hall in London in June 2025, this in-depth article attempts to tear through the imperialist lies and explain the real origins of Yemen’s dominant national-liberation movement.
