Yemeni army storms Houthi prison and frees detainees
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A video circulated on social media showed Yemeni army forces as they freed detainees from a prison that was once controlled by the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militia in Bihan in Shabwa. The army and popular resistance forces liberated most of Bihan and Usaylan on Friday following battles that ended with the Houthis’ defeat. Liberating Bihan and Usaylan, the Houthis’ last two strongholds in Shabwa, is strategically significant as according to some military experts it will speed up the Houthis’ collapse and help liberate other areas.
