Q. Houthis, an armed religious and political group, is associated with which one of the following countries?
Answer: Yemen
Notes: Yemen's Houthi rebels, officially known as Ansar Allah, are an armed religious and political movement. Zaydi Shiites, they constitute a significant minority in Sunni-majority Yemen, advocating regional autonomy since 2004. The Houthis seized Sanaa in 2014, extending control in 2016. Initially focused on tribal autonomy and anti-Western sentiment, they now aim for a greater role in Yemen's government. Known for anti-American and anti-Semitic rhetoric, some leaders are designated as terrorists by the United States. Recent attacks on Red Sea vessels highlight their ongoing aggression.
