What were the main reasons of Ansarullah (Houthis) in Yemen to rise against the interim President, Mansur Hadi? To create a pro-Houthi government in Aden to ensure their economic group interests. None of the above. Inefficiency of the New government under President Hadi, especially his failure to create a democracy. Ansarullah (Houthis) wanted to bring a pro-Iran government into power to support Tehran agenda in the region.

The rise of the Ansarullah movement, or Houthis, against President Mansur Hadi stemmed from several intertwined grievances. One crucial factor was the perceived inefficiency of Hadi's government. Many Yemenis felt that the administration was unable to tackle rampant corruption and provide basic services, leading to widespread disillusionment. This environment allowed the Houthis to position themselves as a voice for the marginalized, rallying support by capitalizing on public dissatisfaction. Moreover, the Houthis aimed to fill a power vacuum created by the disarray in the political landscape. They initially focused on the northern regions, but their ambitions quickly extended, tapping into concerns over regional power dynamics. Their rise was not only about local grievances but also reflected broader geopolitical tensions, including Iran's influence in the Arabian Peninsula, which further complicated the narrative around their motives and goals.
