The Yemeni Foreign Minister, on a visit to Paris, asks the EU to add the Houthis to its list of terrorist organizations

Yemeni Foreign Minister Afrah Abdulaziz Al-Zouba began her European advocacy in Paris, urging leaders to label Houthi rebels as terrorists. She plans to continue her campaign in several European countries. Since summer 2026, the Houthis have reignited conflict with the internationally recognized government, which Al-Zouba represents. She emphasizes her role in clarifying the misunderstood war to the world. Appointed on July 23, her tenure coincided with renewed hostilities after a period of calm, as the conflict escalates towards Aden, the southern port city.
