They also succeeded in controlling Tallat Al-Masariyah. Our envoy reported that 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... and Saleh militias withdrew from Al-Balaq Al-Awsat Mountain in Ma'rib, and before that the coalition forces and the Yemeni army took control over Tallat Al-Suhayli, and Tallat Al-Mutaridah in Ma'rib and secured them completely.
