Ansar Allah ('Helpers of God'), known more popularly as the Houthi (Arabic: al-Ḥuthiyyun), are a Zaidi group based in north Yemen. The group takes its name from Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi, who launched an insurgency in 2004 and was reportedly killed by Yemeni army forces that September. Led by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the group succeeded in a coup d'état in 2014–15, taking control of the Yemeni capital Sana'a and the parliament.
