The Houthis in Yemen have recently made the news for their involvement in halting shipping through the Bab al-Mandab Straight, prompting a naval response from a coalition involving the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Bahrain, the Netherlands, and Canada.

At current, they control large parts of the country, including the capital Sanaa.
