US must support Yemeni government and regional allies to counter Houthis, experts say

Experts testified before a U.S. congressional committee that the United States should support Yemen's internationally recognized government and regional allies to counter Houthi activities in the Red Sea. They argued that sustained U.S. leadership and assistance are necessary to enable Yemen to reclaim territory from the Houthis, rather than relying solely on military action. The conflict in Yemen, which began in 2014, has resulted in massive casualties, displacement, and famine. While a 2022 truce has largely held, the Houthis continue to attack international shipping and have ties to terrorist groups. Experts noted that divisions within the anti-Houthi coalition have weakened efforts to counter the group, and the Yemeni government's instability provides the Houthis with strategic advantages. U.S. military strikes and sanctions have had limited success, prompting calls for more comprehensive support to strengthen the Yemeni government.
