Talk:Houthi insurgency

message: Press TV is a channel owned by the Iranian government to serve its agenda and was known since the start of the war of fabricating news reports daily and completely siding with the Houthis. relying on it for information makes this page about the war much less credible. --87.109.195.121 (talk) 13:00, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia doesn't blacklist sites, and there are many gov-funded media groups around the world (BBC, VOA, France 24, Russia Today, etc). Certainly, Press TV is likely to be more biased than others, so you're absolutely right that reports should be taken with a grain of salt, but that doesn't mean they should be completely ignored.  If you have problems with specific info, I'd encourage you to edit where you see fit and perhaps add qualifiers specifying the source. I'll try to check later.

message: Options: Sa'dah conflict, Sa'dah insurgency, Insurgency in Sa'dah?
While there is little question that this conflict can be accurately classified as an "insurgency" (as the sources in the article demonstrate), I do not believe that Insurgency in Sa'dah is the optimal title for this article, for the reason that it does not clearly specify the scope of the article.
"Insurgency in Sa'dah" defines the article's scope as being inclusive of any insurgency, by any group, carried out in Sa'dah at any time in history. In other words, "Insurgency in Sa'dah" suggests that the article examines the topic of insurgency in the Sa'dah Governorate in general.
"Sa'dah conflict" and "Sa'dah insurgency", on the other hand, define the article's scope as being applicable to a single, specific case of conflict or insurgency. Black Falcon (Talk) 21:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Page title

message: Did Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani really describe the Yemeni government's operations as a "jihad"?  This would be a compliment, which is unlikely given that the Iranian government are accused of supporting the insurgents.  I have checked the reference on globalpolitician.com and its there... but does Jane Novak know what she is talking about?  She uses the word "labelled" like the Ayatollah is dissing the Yemeni gorvernment but it makes no sense for a muslim to use the word jihad as a term of disrespect. - Yaris678 (talk) 21:28, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello there! I put myself exactly the same question when reading this text, I checked the source, as you did, and I arrived at the same conclusion.... makes no sense. Except if Ms Novak has shortened her sentence too much and wanted to say instead: "Ayatollah Sistani has labeled [the fight against] Mohsen's assault against Yemen's Shiites a jihad" (in brackets what I suppose missing words). In other words: Sistani would support the Al-Huthi insurgency as righteous and condemn Yemen's government. Much more plausible, even if Sistani normally abstains from polemic political opinions and has not even supported armed uprising against US-forces in Iraq. I think, if no other source is found, we should just delete this sentence.--Ilyacadiz (talk) 19:28, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was unable to find any reference to this on his website www.sistani.org (I checked both the Arabic and English versions). It does sound very strange and the source cited provides no reference of its own to where this information came from.

replies: text: I called and asked his London office, and they said no ruling has ever been given out. You must realized that Ayatollah Sistani is a spiritual leader of the Shi'a and only very, very rarely does he do anything in connection with politics, and that is always restricted to Iraq i.e. the obligatory nature of voting in the elections. Please double-check all future references, since including his name incorrectly is not only a poor display of scholarship but also serves to further strain Sunni-Shi'a interactions when an average Sunni comes to such a page and sees something absurd like the spiritual leader of the Shi'a making a regional issue an obligatory struggle against members of the same religion. You should also know, for your general information, that no Shi'ite scholar, ruler or leader has ever issued a decree of "jihad" against Sunnis because it doesn't make sense: Shi'a don't think Sunnis are heretics.

thread_title: Classification as jihad

message: The header of the article presents both belligerents and labels the 'Military of Yemen', as "Sunni-led" (as pitted against the Shabab al Muomineen, which are Shia-led) I object to that: the President of Yemen is himself a Zaidi (that's for sure: New York Times and if it's true what Novak says, that "Yemeni President Saleh’s nephews, relatives and tribesmen make up the leadership of Yemen ’s military and security forces", then they must be mostly Zaydi (i.e. Shii) also. Zaydis are a minority (30-40%) in Yemen, but that does not mean that the country is 'Sunni-led'. So we put Shia-led in both sides or else we drop the religious affiliation altogether.

thread_title: Sunni-led?

message: It's sort of absurd to have Iran and Hezbollah included among the (alleged) belligerents in this conflict. No one is suggesting there are Iranian troops on the ground in North Yemen, or Hezbollah helicopters flying missions against Saudi outposts. Basically, the allegation that Iran and Hezbollah are involved boils down to Saudi propaganda, and at best suggests some level of material backing for the insurgents. 
I vote for removal from the "belligerents" box, and minimizing of any discussion of this topic in the article as well, since it's widely believed (by more disinterested outsiders) to be Saudi and Yemen govt FUD...jackbrown (talk) 23:11, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

There's an entire section talking about how the US supported the Yemeni government. I'll change it, and if you chose to change it back then take away all the other absurd alleged commanders. This article reeks of NPOV issues. Umar99 (talk) 03:52, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent point by Umar, in reference to listing Barack Obama (and also George W. Bush) as commanders if we're going to list Iran and Hizbullah, as the Houthis have been alleging direct U.S. involvement (read: bombing) since at least 2005. I vote to remove Iran and Hizbullah, and all associated commanders from the "belligerents" list. As has been mentioned in brief by other commenters, the Saudis (who are doing much, if not most of the bombing of Sa'adah) have much to gain by linking Hizbullah and Iran to the Houthi rebels, as Saudi Arabia and Iran are rivals in the Middle Eastern political arena. Yemen benefits from this link as well, as such a link delegitimizes the Houthis' grievances. Any source alleging Iranian or Hizbullah involvement from a Saudi source such as Al Watan or Al Arabiyah should be discredited. The Asia Times article used to reference the Hizbullah link (Sayyed Nasrallah as a belligerent) sources Al Watan and Al Arabiyah. The latter is owned by the brother-in-law of former King Fahd, and Al Watan is owned by Prince Khalid al Faysal. BostonFenian (talk) 15:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm seeing a lot of POV issues with belligerents here, and I have tried to fix it over my past few edits, adding in the US commanders-in-chief since Iranian and Hzb commanders were also listed under alleged. Apparently someone thought they would remove the American ones without removing the others, which I did. Either they all stay, or they all go.
Now we seem to have an issue with Al-Qaeda and Al-Shabaab support in Yemen. There are ample allegations of Al-Qaeda being used as mercenaries against the Houthis by the Yemeni government, some of which I have listed. In fact, this would ideologically make sense, as opposed to the idea of Al-Qaeda or it's related, inspired branch Al-Shabaab helping the Zaydi Houthis, who they view as heretics and executable according to their interpretation of religion. Now, I won't remove Al-Shabaab from the anti-Yemeni government list since it has alleged sources, but please don't remove Al-Qaeda (or any other country or organization including the United States) from the pro-Yemeni government list without explaining why here.

message: The Saudi victory claim doesn't corroborate with one of its sources and the claim doesn't reflect the actual reality of how the conflict was ended, which was through bilateral truces. First, the guardian article does not mention a Saudi Victory so it ought to be double-checked and removed by another editor. Second, the status of the insurgency should be changed to bilateral ceasefire(s), as the conflict has officially ended as a truce according to the terms agreed upon by the Yemeni government and the Houthi rebels (http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/02/11/yemen.cease.fire/index.html) and (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/12/world/middleeast/12yemen.html). A Saudi "victory" was not part of any settlement and was declared only by Saudi Arabia once Houthi troops withdrew from the country. That part of the conflict was also ended by bilateral truce, so this section definitely needs to be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Omgfreshbeatsnap (talk • contribs) 22:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Religion 

message: I've removed al Shabaab from the belligerents list, as well as the reference to the "200 Somali fighters", both which were sourced to this. This allegation is not corroborated by any other source that I've found, let alone by a reputable and well-known one. The author of the article linking the Houthis to al Shabaab is David Bedein, who is frankly something of a pro-Israel zealot, and the benefits of linking the Houthis, who many pro-Israel folk (incorrectly) perceive to be a client of Iran, to a proscribed "foreign terrorist organization" according to many Western countries, are apparent if one believes that the Houthis are in fact an Iranian client or proxy and that Iran and its "proxies" are a threat to Israel. Though the claims in the article are in fact attributed to unnamed "sources" in Saleh's government rather than simply asserted without any quotes or attributions, that doesn't strengthen their veracity, and to be a part of this article, these links at least need to be coming from a better source. Beyond this, the idea of al Shabaab, a Salafi paramilitary organization operating in Somalia to take over that country, and one which receives training and other forms of aid from al Qa'ida, working together with a Shi'a rebel group which is fighting against both Saleh's government and al Qa'ida, is completely counterintuitive and absurd. I completely doubt this tenuous link between al Shabaab and the Houthis, and any references to it should stay off this article until such a link can be corroborated by a reputable and reliable source.

thread_title:  Proposal to move to Huthi insurgency in Yemen 

message: I think this page is biased and has some issues with balance, NPOV and comprehensiveness. The bias I think starts from the title of the page. The previous title read "Shia insurgency in Yemen." This gave the misleading impression that Houthis are some sort of "a sectarian armed group fighting for usurpation of political power in Yemen via armed fight". But the even current improved title "Houthi insurgency" I think is misleading. "Insurgency" according to Longman Dictionary is define as "an attempt by a group of people to take control of their government using force and violence". This is true that Houthis were caught in many violent conflicts ever since 2004, but these conflicts were mostly only defensive reactions to the use of violence against them by either the government military forces or AQAP. I understand this needs verification (I will hopefully cites some sources to back up this claim) but by still looking at 
1) their campaign methods (mentions of which can also be seen in the narrative of the event in this page), and 
2) the fact that they always try to negotiate and work with other parties, 
3) their demands which usually includes things like fair power-sharing, independence from foreign influence and even peace (See for example see this report), 
it can very well be argued that Houthis are a popular reform movement that are pushing for political, social and economic reforms in Yemen. A new section that I'm going to add (crucial for this page balance and comprehensiveness) will also shed light on the real objectives of the movement. With these considerations I think the title of the page has to change to something more explanatory and objective such as "Houthi movement in Yemen."
