| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] 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... militias ‐ who control Yemen’s capital Sanaa ‐ are setting up a Farsi language course at the University of Sanaa, Yemeni news site Marib Press reported on Saturday. According to academic sources, the president of the university recently issued a decision to establish the department immediately and to begin to accept students. The course is reportedly expected to begin later this month, in which a declaration ceremony is expected to take place with the attendance of an official from the Iranian embassy in Sanaa. The Farsi language department will be replacing the Turkish language department, which had reportedly been stopped by the Houthis last year for political reasons. Teaching staff will include Houthis who received higher education in Iran, as well as the cultural attaché from the Iranian embassy in Sanaa. |
