...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 legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did.

Ansarullah movement has held the Saudi-led coalition fully responsible for a possible oil leakage from a deserted decaying tanker moored in the Red Sea , which could result in a potential environmental disaster.
"We have long been calling for the maintenance of the Safer tanker. Nevertheless, the US-backed forces of aggression, besides their unjust blockade, have deliberately created obstacles and prevented any maintenance," Mohammed Abdul-Salam said in a post published on his official Twitter page on Saturday.

منذ وقت مبكر ونحن ندعو لصيانة ناقلة صافر إلا أن قوى العدوان المدعومة أمريكيا تعمدت بحصارها الظالم وضعَ العراقيل ومنع إجراء أي صيانة، وعليه فهي من تتحمل التداعيات كافة لأي تسرب، كما أن واشنطن تلحقها المسؤولية كذلك لتوفيرها الغطاء السياسي والدعم العسكري لاستمرار العدوان والحصار.

He added, "They (members of the Saudi-led alliance), therefore, bear responsibility for the repercussions of any spillage. Washington should also be held accountable for providing them with political and military support to press ahead with their aggression and siege."
Last June, UN aid chief Mark Lowcock told the Security Council that a leak or explosion of the vessel could be much worse than the Exxon Valdez oil spill of the late 1980s in Alaska.
"If the tanker ruptures or explodes, we could see the coastline polluted all along the Red Sea," Lowcock, the under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, said.
"Depending on the time of year and water currents, the spill could reach from Bab el-Mandeb to the Suez Canal, and potentially as far as the Strait of Hormuz," he added.
The Safer tanker reportedly allows vessels to anchor offshore and transfer oil extracted and processed from installations in the Ma'arib oil field in central Yemen.
The tanker is said to contain 34 crude oil tanks of different sizes and volumes, amounting to a total capacity of around 3 million barrels.
The ship has been moored several kilometers outside the Red Sea port of Ras Isa, north of Hudaydah.
