metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article identifies and analyzes three main accusations leveled in the 2000s by the Yemeni
  Government against Houthis: a desire to restore the Imamate, gaining support from Iran and
  conversion to Twelver Shiism. It is shown that these accusations are incorrect and are consequences
  of the Yemeni authorities’ discrimination policy against practicing Zaydis and especially
  sayyids — Zaydi religious “aristocracy”. It is demonstrated that reestablishment of theocratic
  rule was not part of the Houthi political agenda since a majority of Yemenis were against
  it; the goal of allegations about Houthi connections with Tehran, made by the Yemeni political
  establishment, was to secure additional financial aid from Washington and Riyadh; Al-Houthi
  was not a Twelver Shiite and was critical of the main ideas of this denomination. The author of
  the article suggests that many Yemenis and several Russian and Western scholars believed the
  accusations due to the dominance of anti-Zaydi sentiment in the Yemeni information space
  and the fact that these accusations complement each other in a quasi-logical way: to reestablish
  the Imamate, Houthis need support, which can be gained from Iran, while conversion to
  Twelver Shiism guarantees such support.
