YEMEN USA HOUTHIS CONFLICT

Mass protest in Sana'a against US-led strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen

epa11139886 Houthi supporters shout slogans while holding a large-scale Palestinian flag during a protest against US-led strikes on Houthi positions, in Sana'a, Yemen, 09 February 2024. Thousands of Houthi supporters demonstrated in Sana'a to protest against US-led strikes on Houthi targets, just hours after the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said that it had conducted seven strikes against four Houthi unmanned surface vessels and seven mobile anti-ship cruise missiles, claiming that they were prepared to launch against ships in the Red Sea. Yemen's Houthis have kept up drone and missile attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the aim of ending the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, and in response to US-led retaliatory strikes. In January 2024, the US Department of State designated Yemen's Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist group' due to their increased attacks on shipping lanes. In December 2023, the US Department of Defense announced a multinational operation to safeguard trade and protect ships in the Red Sea in response to the escalation of Houthi attacks.
