...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. 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 They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

called to hold last November in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

The head of the Prisoners’ Affairs Committee in the Ansarallah Movement, Abdul Qadir al-Murtada, was quoted by al-Masirah TV as saying:

"We announced that we had received an invitation from the United Nations for a round of negotiations on prisoners in Amman in order to agree on the numbers and names of the deal, but unfortunately we were surprised that the Islah party refused to attend and failed the tour. "

He continued, "There is a detainee who we have invoked by the Islah party for not attending the negotiations, and he is being detained due to a criminal case ."

Al-Murtada criticized the performance of the United Nations by saying that it "did not exert any pressure on the other side to persuade him to attend the prisoners’ negotiations, even though the Saudi party and the party representing the southern front agreed to attend."

The leader of the Ansarallah Movement accused the government of "thwarting 30 exchanges during 2020 that were agreed upon through local parties, according to which more than 600 prisoners of war are freed from both sides."

He confirmed, "The liberation of 1,087 prisoners during the year 2020, including 670 prisoners during the operation through the United Nations (last October 16), and 417 prisoners through local mediators."

The group "released 150 prisoners during the year 2020, including 64 children who were brought in by the forces of aggression (referring to the Yemeni army) in the battles, and the rest were released for humanitarian reasons."

Al-Murtada announced his group’s refusal to "release Saudi pilots except in exchange for Paleostinian prisoners in 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...
(referring to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, detainees in Saudi Arabia, according to a previous accusation made by the group’s leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, to Riyadh on March 26th).

This has been one of the demands by the Ansarallah Movement for over a year; however, the Saudi side has refused to release the Hamas detainees.
