I wonder if they'll just call them Houthis in the document and people can get around it by pointing out they donated to Ansar Allah not this non-existent figment of the west's imagination.

Curious how ISIL changes its name to ISIS and the western media obediently complies with correctly naming it within months yet how long have they been in power and the media insist on using a slur for them? Almost like maybe they're not a tool of western power while ISIS is....

It's not a slur, it's the tribe of "Hussein Al-Houthi"

Oh sorry. But someone here did say it is not what they want to be called. So it’s a kind of disrespectful way of addressing them.

it's reductive, yeah

Because the houthis are just a single group out of the "coalition" that is ansar allah.

You spelled “Iran-backed Houthis” wrong.
