The following is a topical outline of the English language Wikipedia articles on the topic of the Houthis.[1][2]

The Houthis,[a] officially known as Ansar Allah,[b] is a Zaydi revivalist and Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s.[3][4] It is predominantly made up of Zaydis, whose namesake leadership is drawn largely from the al-Houthi family. The group has been a central player in Yemen's civil war, drawing widespread international condemnation for its human rights abuses, including targeting civilians. The movement is designated as a terrorist organization by some countries[5][6] and they are widely considered part of the Iranian-led "Axis of Resistance".[7][8]
