A few months from the start of the youth revolution in Yemen, the Houthis entered into bloody military clashes in more than one region. Their opponents regarded it as an attempt to expand and impose their presence by military power. The Houthis, however, considered it self-defense and proof of their legitimate right to exist and to have freedom of belief. These clashes coincided with the group’s adoption of the option to revolt against the political regime. What sets them apart from the other forces of revolution in Yemen is rejection of the Gulf Initiative and the fact that they are seeking to form a third party, demanding the departure of both the regime and the opposition. What are the motives of the Houthis? What is the extent of their ability to put more obstacles and hinder the successful implementation of the Initiative and the stability of the situation in the next phase?
