Ansar Allah (Partisans of God), which is also known as the Houthi movement, began in the 1990s as a youth-orientated revivalist movement in Yemen, that wanted to defend the religious traditions of a branch of Shia Islam known as Zaidism. The Yazidis are one of Iraq’s oldest minorities, predominantly ethnically Kurdish and have kept alive their syncretic religion for centuries, despite many years of oppression and threatened extermination. The Madhesi are an indigenous ethnic group of Nepalese people who are natives of the Madhesh plains of Southern Nepal in Terai belt of South Asia.
