Yemeni analyst: Houthi abuses against rivals rooted in extremist beliefs

Yemeni political analyst Hazza Al-Beel has stated that the Houthi militia’s abuses against their rivals—including torture, mutilation of bodies, destruction of homes, and violations of sanctities—are not new, but rather stem from inherited extremist beliefs.

Speaking to Al Ekhbariya TV, Al-Beel said these actions reflect an approach that legitimizes the seizure of opponents’ property, assets, and honor, noting that such practices are not a recent development by the militia.

He added that the beliefs underpinning the Houthi militia consider the wealth, property, and dignity of their adversaries as permissible targets, which, according to him, explains the ongoing abuses and violations.
