Less than 10 years after seizing power in Yemen, the Iran-backed Houthi militia continues to evolve — and so do the threats emanating from it. After several years of negotiations, it now seems likely that the Houthis and Saudis will reach a peace agreement, and it is worth considering how such a deal could change the group’s trajectory. This report examines a number of possible futures that could develop in Yemen over the next 1-2 years based on shifting capabilities, interests, and alliances.

The Yemeni militia’s three-and-a-half month long campaign of ship seizures, missile and drone strikes has added billions of dollars to global commercial shipping costs, with the fighters vowing to continue their partial blockade of the Red Sea until Israel halts the war in Gaza.

It could cripple remittances, financial transactions and destroy an already battered economy, say Yemenis.

Yemeni activists have accused the Houthi militias of establishing two training camps to recruit African migrants who arrive in Yemen, send them to battlefronts, and use them for intelligence tasks and contraband smuggling. This coincides with ongoing campaigns by the Houthi preventive security apparatus to track and chase African migrants in Saadah. These campaigns have resulted in the kidnapping of 2,288 persons in various regions in the province as per the announcement of the group’s security media center.
