Houthi leader accuses Gulf states of backing al Qaeda in Yemen
2015-03-13
[YEMENONLINE.INFO] The head of Yemen's Houthis accused Gulf Arab states on Tuesday of supplying weapons and funds to Islamist bully boys, in an effort to create an environment in the southern part of the country where al Qaeda could flourish.

Speaking in a speech broadcast on al-Maseerah television, a media outlet of Ansarullah, 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 ...
political wing, Abdel-Malek al-Houthi also accused unnamed parties of recruiting al Qaeda murderous Moslems from abroad to justify a Western operation to occupy Yemen.

"Is there a just and equitable position for Gulf Arab states toward the Yemeni people?" Abdel-Malek said in the speech.

"Is there any position other than to send support, money and weapons, to the takfiri

elements, and to facilitate the atmosphere for al Qaeda in the southern provinces," he added, using an Arabic expression to describe Sunni Moslem bully boys.

Yemen, which shares a border with Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

to step down. The turmoil worsened in September when the Shi'ite Houthi captured Sanaa, Yemen's capital, a move that Gulf states condemned as a coup.
