Saudi Arabia puts pressure on EU to label Yemen's Houthis a terrorist group

Saudi Arabia · · Diplomacy · Developing · 2 sources

Six European officials told Reuters that Saudi Arabia is pressing the EU to designate the group, but European concerns that this could affect a future peace process have not yet been overcome. The campaign reflects a broader Saudi effort to increase international pressure on the Houthis.

Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition intervening in Yemen since 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government, while Ansar Allah, known as the Houthi movement, controls Sanaa and much of the north.
