Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have come out in protest against Israel's attack on Gaza, have become synonymous with terror. Now they have directly challenged the United Nations. About nine employees of UN agencies have been taken hostage by Houthi rebels. These employees are from Yemen. The Houthi rebels have carried out this incident amid increasing financial pressure and facing air strikes.
Officials said on Friday that about nine employees of UN agencies and other workers are also feared to be taken hostage. Officials said that employees working in UN agencies have been taken hostage by Houthi rebels. The wife of one of the hostage employees is also being held captive. However, the United Nations has refused to comment on this matter yet.
Many ships have been targeted in the Red Sea
Houthi rebels seized Yemen's capital nearly a decade ago and have been fighting the Saudi-led coalition ever since. The Houthi rebels have targeted several ships in the Red Sea over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Who are the Houthi rebels?
The Houthi rebellion arose in opposition to the growing religious influence of Saudi Arabia. The Houthi movement was founded in 1990 by Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi belonged to Yemen's Zaidi Shia minority community, which accounts for one-third of Yemen's population. Hussein was assassinated by Yemeni soldiers in 2004. Since then, the Houthi group has been led by Hussein's brother Abdul Malik. The Zaidi community used to dominate the northern part of Yemen, but they were sidelined during the 1962-70 civil war.
