Yemen’s Shia Houthi movement says US-backed Takfiri militants are planning to initiate a war in the northern part of the country.
In a video released by the Houthi-linked Ansarullah website, people from a number of countries including France, Russia, the US and Somalia are seen erecting forts in Dammaj district in the city of Sa'ada located near Yemen's border with Saudi Arabia.

The video also showed that the Takfiri militants harassed people living in the area and tried to find residential buildings for the foreigners working with them in Dammaj district.

Most Takfiris have identified themselves with the shadowy al-Qaeda terror network and are widely known to have committed countless atrocities against people opposing their views.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Zaidi population, also known as Houthis, have long been protesting against oppression and discrimination by Yemen’s Saudi-backed government.

Yemen’s Shia Houthi movement draws its name from the tribe of its founding leader Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi.
