This paper deals with the Ḥūthī insurgency in Yemen. It focuses on the movement by asking and attempting to answer the following questions: is the Ḥūthī insurgency sectarian-based? and is it part of the overall competition between Sunnīs and Shīʿa in the Middle East? To answer these questions, the paper analyzes lectures given by its founder, Hussein Badr al-Dīn al-Ḥūthī. By paying close attention to the ideological framework of al-Ḥūthī, this paper concludes that sectarianism is part of the Yemeni conflict and the emergence of the Ḥūthīs. At the same time, the analysis reveals that Hussein Badr al-Dīn al-Ḥūthī was preoccupied by the poor position of Muslims and believed that their situation could be improved through uprising, especially if it was under the banner of Shīʿism in general and Zaydiyya in particular
