Demographic Processes in the Syrian Christian Community from the Second Half of the 20th to the Early 21st Century. Part II
This article analyzes demographic change within the Syrian Christian community during the armed conflict. The study draws on field data collected by the author in 2019–2024, including interviews with Syrian Christians and observations made while travelling across the country, alongside Vatican statistics on Eastern Catholic communities and media reports. The findings show that areas of intense terrorist activity, notably Idlib and the trans-Euphr…
Demographic Processes in the Syrian Christian Community from the Second Half of the 20th to the Early 21st Century. Part I
This article examines the demographic dynamics of the Syrian Christian community in 1943-2000, which is important for clarifying our understanding of the socio-political processes in the country at that period. It is noted that estimates of the Christian population of Syria during the 2000s vary significantly, ranging from 3% to 12% of the total population. A number of sources has been analyzed, including those rarely used by the scholars (like R…
On the Reasons of the Beginning of the Armed Conflict between Yemeni Government and the Huthi Movement in 2004
This paper examines reasons which made the Yemeni Government start a large-scale military operation against the Huthis in June 2004. It is noted that this operation led to a constantly unfolding armed conflict (2004–2010) and heavily influenced both Huthi Movement and the Government. It was exactly the point from which a rapid transformation of the Huthis from a relatively small group of followers of a provincial political leader into the nation-…
“Like the Ark of Nuh”
The article examines the phenomenon of overrepresentation of sayyids (descendants of the Prophet Muhammad) in the Huthi movement in the 2000s. It is shown that though sayyids’ total share among the population of the northwestern Yemen was about 5 % they occupied most of the top positions in the movement and constituted about half of its military command. The trajectories of sayyid Abd al-Malik al-Huthi’s ascent to power and shaykh Abdullah al-Raz…
One Problem in the Study of the Houthi Movement (Three Сliches of anti-Houthi Propaganda)
The article identifies and analyzes three main accusations leveled in the 2000s by the Yemeni Government against Houthis: a desire to restore the Imamate, gaining support from Iran and conversion to Twelver Shiism. It is shown that these accusations are incorrect and are consequences of the Yemeni authorities’ discrimination policy against practicing Zaydis and especially sayyids — Zaydi religious “aristocracy”. It is demonstrated that reestablis…
