State Department to Redesignate Houthis As Terrorists; Except Not As Real Terrorists
The Biden White House will redesignate the Yemeni Houthis as a terrorist group on Wednesday in response to nearly three months of firing missiles at and hijacking commercial shipping in international waters. The decision will be made public on Wednesday. The Biden White House will not return the Houthis to the US list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) where President Trump placed them on January 11, 2021…you read that right: Trump declared them terrorists ten days before leaving office. Instead, the Houthi movement and its members will be declared Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT).
