After seizing the capital in September 2014, the Houthis (Ansar Allah) obtained the resignations of President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, Prime Minister Khaled Bahah, and the cabinet in January 2015 and then moved to dissolve parliament and instate a Revolutionary Committee to govern Yemen on 6 February 2015. However, despite their military successes and an alleged alliance with the former ruling General People's Congress, the Houthis faced widespread domestic and international opposition to the coup and they assented to United Nations–led talks on a power-sharing deal. At least one analyst went so far as to suggest the Houthis' declaration "fizzled" in the days after it was announced, although they have Iran's material support and Ali Abdullah Saleh's political support.
Yemen (i/ˈjɛmən/; Arabic:اليَمَنal-Yaman), officially known as the Republic of Yemen (الجمهورية اليمنيةal-Jumhūrīyah al-Yamanīyah), is an Arab country in Western Asia, occupying the southwestern to the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen is the second largest country in the peninsula, occupying 527,970km2 (203,850sqmi). The coastline stretches for about 2,000km (1,200mi). It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea to the south, and Oman to the east. Although Yemen's constitutionally stated capital is the city of Sana'a, the city has been under rebel control since February 2015. Because of this, Yemen's capital has been temporarily relocated to the port city of Aden, on the southern coast. Yemen's territory includes more than 200 islands; the largest of these is Socotra.
Yemen was the home of the Sabaeans (biblical Sheba), a trading state that flourished for over a thousand years and probably also included parts of modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea. In 275 AD, the region came under the rule of the later Jewish influenced Himyarite Kingdom. Christianity arrived in the 4th century AD whereas Judaism and local paganism were already established. Islam spread quickly in the 7th century and Yemenite troops were crucial in the expansion of the early Islamic conquests. Administration of Yemen has long been notoriously difficult. Several dynasties emerged from the 9th to 16th century, the Rasulid being the strongest and most prosperous. The country was divided between the Ottoman and British empires in the early 20th century. The ZaydiMutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen was established after World War I in North Yemen before the creation of Yemen Arab Republic in 1962. South Yemen remained a British protectorate until 1967. The two Yemeni states united to form the modern republic of Yemen in 1990.
The Yemen Arab Republic (YAR; Arabic:الجمهورية العربية اليمنيةal-Jumhūrīyah al-‘Arabīyah al-Yamanīyah), also known as North Yemen or Yemen (Sana'a), was a country from 1962 to 1990 in the northwestern part of what is now Yemen. Its capital was at Sana'a. It united with the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, commonly known as South Yemen, on May 22, 1990, to form the current Republic of Yemen.
History
Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, northern Yemen became an independent state as the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. On 27 September 1962, revolutionaries inspired by the Arab nationalistideology of United Arab Republic (Egyptian) President Gamal Abdel Nasser deposed the newly crowned King Muhammad al-Badr, took control of Sana'a, and established the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR). This coup d'état marked the beginning of the North Yemen Civil War that pitted YAR troops assisted by the United Arab Republic (Egypt) while Saudi Arabia and Jordan supported Badr's royalist forces opposing the newly formed republic. Conflict continued periodically until 1967 when Egyptian troops were withdrawn. By 1968, following a final royalist siege of Sana'a, most of the opposing leaders reached a reconciliation; Saudi Arabia recognized the Republic in 1970.

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down a major Middle East story you might not have heard about: Iran-backed Houthi rebels stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in Yemen's capital, Sana'a this week and according to reports from the region, "seized large quantities of equipment and materials." In addition, the Houthis kidnapped several Yemenis who work for the U.S Embassy. The State Department is demanding their release--but is this another sign that Iran and its proxies are growing more bold in challenging the United States?

Houthi rebels out in force on streets of Sanaa
(6 Oct 2014) LEADIN:
The capital of Yemen - the Arab world's poorest and perhaps most chronically unstable nation - has new masters.
The Houthi Shiite rebels control almost all state buildings, from the airport and the central bank to the Defence Ministry.
With only a few police officers and soldiers left on the streets and the Houthis manning checkpoints, local residents in Sanaa are fearful for their safety.
STORYLINE:
While the world has been focused on the fight against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, Yemen - located at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula - has seen its own sudden, seismic upheaval when Shiite rebels known as the Houthis overran Sanaa two weeks ago.

SUMMARY
=======
The aftermath of the Houthi takeover in Yemen refers to developments following the Houthis' takeover of the Yemeni capital of Sana'a and dissolution of the government, which eventually led to a civil war and the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen.
After seizing the capital in September 2014, the Houthis (Ansar Allah) obtained the resignations of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, Prime Minister Khaled Bahah, and the cabinet in January 2015 and then moved to dissolve parliament and instate a Revolutionary Committee to govern Yemen on 6 February 2015. However, despite their military successes and an alleged alliance with the former ruling General People's Congress, the Houthis faced widespread domestic and international opposition to the coup and they assented to United Nations–led talks on a power-sharing deal. At least one analyst went so far as to suggest the Houthis' declaration "fizzled" in the days after it was announced, although they have Iran's material support and Ali Abdullah Saleh's political support.On 21 February 2015, one month after Houthi militants confined him to his residence in Sana'a, Hadi slipped out of the capital and traveled to Aden, the old capital of South Yemen. In a televised address from his hometown, he declared that the Houthi takeover was illegitimate and indicated he remained the constitutional president of Yemen. Hadi's ex-ministers were released by the Houthis on 16 March as a "goodwill gesture". On 21 March, Hadi officially proclaimed Aden to be the temporary capital of Yemen, until his pledged recapture of Sana'a. Within days, however, a Houthi-led military campaign wrested much of southern Yemen from Hadi's loyalists, prompting Hadi to flee his presidential palace in Aden and Saudi Arabia to launch airstrikes against Houthi positions throughout the country.

(6 Oct 2014) LEADIN:
The capital of Yemen - the Arab world's poorest and perhaps most chronically unstable nation - has new masters.
The Houthi Shiite rebels control almost all state buildings, from the airport and the central bank to the Defence Ministry.
With only a few police officers and soldiers left on the streets and the Houthis manning checkpoints, local residents in Sanaa are fearful for their safety.
STORYLINE:
While the world has been focused on the fight against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, Yemen - located at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula - has seen its own sudden, seismic upheaval when Shiite rebels known as the Houthis overran Sanaa two weeks ago.
Their takeover of the capital also threatens to bring a violent backlash from hard-line Sunnis, creating a sectarian battle that would boost al-Qaida's branch in Yemen and could turn Yemen into a magnet for Sunni jihadis from around the region, like Syria and Iraq.
Um Mohamed Al Samady is a resident of Sanaa. She says people "are living in fear".
"We do not understand what is going on. The government does not pay any attention to current events. All we are demanding is to live in peace and security."
Last week, an al-Qaida suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into a hospital used by the Houthis in Maarib province, killing one person.
The US backed president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, is largely helpless to maintain order, struggling to form a new government to meet the Houthis' demands.
Neighbouring Saudi Arabia is worried about a potential pro-Iranian outpost on its border.
Hamir Al Sudany is another resident of Sanaa concerned by recent developments.
"Due to the current situation we tend to stay at home more and leave the house less and less, because of the lack of security. We are scared."
The Houthis, who call themselves Ansar Allah, Arabic for "Supporters of God," are followers of the Zaydi faith, a branch of Shia Islam that is almost exclusively found in Yemen and makes up about 30 percent of the country's population.
The rebels, currently led by 33-year-old Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, fought a series of civil wars since the mid-2000s from their stronghold of Saada north of Sanaa.
In 2011, they took complete control of Saada province.
The Houthis say they want a broader government that includes their movement and southern Yemenis, who have long sought independence. And they want implementation of a plan reached by political parties in January to give greater autonomy to Yemen's regions.
A new UN brokered accord that was hurriedly signed on the day Sanaa fell to the Houthis calls for a new government, for all armed factions to put down their arms and for the rebels to leave the capital. But there is little sign that will happen.
The Houthis now have a virtual veto power over who becomes the next prime minister and over the makeup of the next government.
Security analyst, Maslah Halboub is a former Brigadier General in the Yemeni Air Force and he fears things could go from bad to worse for the people of Yemen.
He says: "If the situation stays the same without any swift solutions I expect that the situation will get very bad. I really hope that the Yemeni people will be careful and will cooperate for the good of their country, as well as for their own good. The forces are working for their own benefit and in the end the Yemeni people will suffer."
After the fall of Sanaa, Houthis staged a massive victory rally in the city, flying Hezbollah flags and portraits of Iran's late supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

SUMMARY
=======
The aftermath of the Houthi takeover in Yemen refers to developments following the Houthis' takeover of the Yemeni capital of Sana'a and dissolution of the government, which eventually led to a civil war and the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen.
After seizing the capital in September 2014, the Houthis (Ansar Allah) obtained the resignations of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, Prime Minister Khaled Bahah, and the cabinet in January 2015 and then moved to dissolve parliament and instate a Revolutionary Committee to govern Yemen on 6 February 2015. However, despite their military successes and an alleged alliance with the former ruling General People's Congress, the Houthis faced widespread domestic and international opposition to the coup and they assented to United Nations–led talks on a power-sharing deal. At least one analyst went so far as to suggest the Houthis' declaration "fizzled" in the days after it was announced, although they have Iran's material support and Ali Abdullah Saleh's political support.On 21 February 2015, one month after Houthi militants confined him to his residence in Sana'a, Hadi slipped out of the capital and traveled to Aden, the old capital of South Yemen. In a televised address from his hometown, he declared that the Houthi takeover was illegitimate and indicated he remained the constitutional president of Yemen. Hadi's ex-ministers were released by the Houthis on 16 March as a "goodwill gesture". On 21 March, Hadi officially proclaimed Aden to be the temporary capital of Yemen, until his pledged recapture of Sana'a. Within days, however, a Houthi-led military campaign wrested much of southern Yemen from Hadi's loyalists, prompting Hadi to flee his presidential palace in Aden and Saudi Arabia to launch airstrikes against Houthi positions throughout the country.

A rebel group from northern Yemen has taken over the capital and drastically changed Yemen's political landscape. Engaged in a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the Houthis have brought Yemen to the brink of collapse.
But who are Yemen's Houthis? What do they want? How have they come to take control of huge parts of the country? Safa Al-Ahmad from BBC Arabic has spent three months following the Houthis and also got extraordinary access to their arch-enemies, the Sunni tribal leaders and other fighters loyal to al-Qaeda.

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down a major Middle East story you might not have heard about: Iran-backed Houthi rebels stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in Yemen's capital, Sana'a this week and according to reports from the region, "seized large quantities of equipment and materials." In addition, the Houthis kidnapped several Yemenis who work for the U.S Embassy. The State Department is demanding their release--but is this another sign that Iran and its proxies are growing more bold in challenging the United States?

(6 Oct 2014) LEADIN:
The capital of Yemen - the Arab world's poorest and perhaps most chronically unstable nation - has new masters.
The Houthi Shiite rebels control almost all state buildings, from the airport and the central bank to the Defence Ministry.
With only a few police officers and soldiers left on the streets and the Houthis manning checkpoints, local residents in Sanaa are fearful for their safety.
STORYLINE:
While the world has been focused on the fight against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, Yemen - located at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula - has seen its own sudden, seismic upheaval when Shiite rebels known as the Houthis overran Sanaa two weeks ago.
Their takeover of the capital also threatens to bring a violent backlash from hard-line Sunnis, creating a sectarian battle that would boost al-Qaida's branch in Yemen and could turn Yemen into a magnet for Sunni jihadis from around the region, like Syria and Iraq.
Um Mohamed Al Samady is a resident of Sanaa. She says people "are living in fear".
"We do not understand what is going on. The government does not pay any attention to current events. All we are demanding is to live in peace and security."
Last week, an al-Qaida suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into a hospital used by the Houthis in Maarib province, killing one person.
The US backed president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, is largely helpless to maintain order, struggling to form a new government to meet the Houthis' demands.
Neighbouring Saudi Arabia is worried about a potential pro-Iranian outpost on its border.
Hamir Al Sudany is another resident of Sanaa concerned by recent developments.
"Due to the current situation we tend to stay at home more and leave the house less and less, because of the lack of security. We are scared."
The Houthis, who call themselves Ansar Allah, Arabic for "Supporters of God," are followers of the Zaydi faith, a branch of Shia Islam that is almost exclusively found in Yemen and makes up about 30 percent of the country's population.

Last night I was dreamin' about us We were sittin' down by the lake We were close I had my arms around you Out of the corner of my eye your hair color changed You pulled me in we started kissin' But it felt much different felt like I was sinnin' I realized it wasn't you but the scariest part Was deep down in my heart I didn't want to wake up My hearts in a battle I'm not sure I can win I'm losing control of my love I should've been a stronger man Should've been your soldier But I chose to wave my white flag And let her takeover now I should've protected our love (x4) It happened about a month ago I was at a coffee shop saw this cutie there She was reading a magazine Out of the corner of my eye saw her look at me We started talking so innocently She asked if I was single then I felt a little guilty Right then you called But I hit ignore, never did that before I didn't wanna pick up My hearts in a battle I'm not sure I can win I'm losing control of my love I never planned to have an interest in someone else (I only think of you) you're the girl that gave me something I never felt (I tried to stay true) I'm fightin to keep you first in my mind, I don't wanna lose you
