Houthis (Ansar Allah) — De Facto Map

Houthis (Ansar Allah) — Houthi Movement (Ansar Allah) · De facto rulers of northern Yemen.

Interactive de facto map of Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) has ruled the populous northern and western highlands of Yemen since seizing the capital Sana’a in 2014, operating as a de facto state with its own ministries, military, and tax system. Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping since 2023 have disrupted one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints, and in September 2026 the movement pushed south along that coast, overrunning the zone the Yemeni National Resistance had held since 2018.
