An eloquent short historical profile of the Ansarullah movement by a fair critic from south Yemen. She is from Aden, the traditional rival of north Yemen of the last centuries, and the third most important global sea port in the 19th century.
She dispels Anglo-Zionist agitprop that Yemenis serve Iran, or that Ansarullah are a minority; they control 80-85% of the total population that lives bunched in the smaller but more secure highland north. Zaidi Islam is followed by 40% of all Yemenis and coexists peacefully with Sunni and Shia, being not of either, but a bridge respected by all except fringe salafi extremists imported from the GCC. She reminds us that ALL Yemenis have been devotees of Palestine and their liberation cause for over a century now, starting with the British occupation.
Ansarullah represent and merely discharge the will of at least 30-32 Million of the 40 M Yemenis.

Thanks so much for this find AHH! This shows up so clearly the disgracefully uninformed bigots like Greg Hunter who has made a habit of demonising the Houthis for the last 10 or so years. Shireen is an absolute treasure and what a magnificent interviewer Mitch Jeserich of ‘Letters and… Read more »
Yes this interview was a gem, from both sides. Note something she emphasizes: the Genociding and NATO-GCC savaging of Yemen had everything to do with control of the Bab El Mandeb. They began it a few years ago, with an eye towards protecting Erez Israel when it began the current… Read more »
AHH that was outstanding, thank you. Yemen could not have been better represented, what an intelligent young lady. We will pay a heavy price for the misery we have spread and continue to do so. But the heaviest price is that we would struggle to find many young people of… Read more »
Well said. A superb interview.
