Abdul-Malik al-Houthi[a] (born 22 May 1979) is a Yemeni politician and religious leader who has been the second and current leader of the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), an organization principally made up of Zaydi Shia Muslims, since 2004.
His brothers, Yahia and Abdul-Karim are also leaders of the group, as were his late brothers Hussein, Ibrahim, and Abdulkhaliq. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi is the leading figure in the Yemeni civil war which started with the Houthi takeover in Yemen in the Saada Governorate in northern Yemen.
