Houthi Escalation in Red Sea
The article focused on the Houthi group's escalation in the Red Sea and their threats to international navigation, which are linked to increased economic and humanitarian pressures on the areas they control in Yemen. Analyses indicate that the Houthis are using this escalation as a distraction from governance crises, hunger, and rising popular discontent, amidst deteriorating living conditions and food insecurity. The population suffers from famine, with many unable to access food and resorting to eating leaves. The study shows that the Houthis' economic policies have led to the deterioration of the Yemeni economy, with collected revenues being squandered on military efforts instead of improving services, the closure of numerous companies, and reduced international aid support. This situation further aggravates the humanitarian crisis. The center emphasizes the necessity of denying the Houthis any economic support without clear conditions and restoring regular salary payments through international oversight channels to prevent the exploitation of resources.
