Houthis use attacks to demand power, expert says

The Houthis are taking bigger risks in their fight with Saudi Arabia. Why? Because threats have worked for them in the past, says Dr. Elizabeth Kendall, a Middle East specialist and President of Girton College, University of Cambridge. Dr. Kendall says the group's bold military attacks are not just about ideology or support from Iran. They are calculated tools of political pressure. The goal: win recognition as Yemen's legitimate leaders, control more territory, and gain more power at the negotiating table.
