The issue “in a nutshell” is that: Yemenis (Al-Houthis(Shia Zaidis)) who are about 40% Yemen’s population, are endeavoring to get their rights … Meanwhile, they consider the ruleship of Yemen as a dependent government to the west. (western rulers); but Saudi Arabia rulership is against them and regard them as a danger for herself … that’s why she is attacking Zaidi Yemenis, and is killing even many innocent women/kids, etc.

More study: (Mostafa Hessami’s answer to a similar answer, which can be informative):

First of all some fact-check:

• Ali Abd-Allah Saleh, the former corrupt dictator of Yemen, was in fact supported by the GCC, Saudi Arabia in particular, until he was deposed in a popular revolution in 2011! And his alliance with Saudi Arabia was also responsible for spread of Wahhabi extremism inside Yemen! So to somehow pretend GCC or KSA can be part of the solution while they’ve been at the root of the problem is disingenuous at best.
• The next important question is: who are the Houthis? I have addressed that question extensively in Mostafa Hessami's answer to Why does Iran support the Houthi rebels in Yemen? But in short,
• Houthis started their protests movement against Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2004. They used to be a legitimate political party in Yemen representing the marginalized Zaydi community of the North. And they are far from a tribal militia seeking to impose themselves on Yemen, contrary to what we hear from Saudi Arabia and contrary to what the Saudi tribe themselves had done to Arabia!

• Houthis came to become leaders of a vast social movement, named Ansar Allah: they are non-tribal, non-sectarian, pro-reform, anti-corruption, pro-democracy and pro-independence basically representing accumulated grievances and demands of the Yemeni people who have been empowered under their component leadership. These are exactly the reason they can’t be tolerated by KSA who used to treat Yemen as its other province and had a grip over its natural resources when the entire country was suffering from abject poverty and corruption.
• Houthis were also particularly concerned with widespread of Wahhabi extremist schools and the emergence of Al-Qaeda in Yemen under former Yemeni dictator Saleh who was on Saudi payroll and had allowed Saudi ideological influence inside Yemen.
• The Houthis’ later temporary alliance with their former enemy Ali Abd Allah Saleh was made only as an emergency counter balance against the external forces that were trying to impose their will on Yemen after 2011 revolution. In other words, Saleh was not their reliable partner from the beginning.
• But what I find utterly disingenuous with Abdulaziz’s analysis is his silence over the disastrous impact of Saudi military aggression against Yemen:
• Millions are literally starving in Yemen since Saudi coalition imposed a blockade on the country causing “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis” and launching a war that has resulted in 10 to 50 thousands of deaths to this date and probably more.
• Saudi airplanes regularly target homes, schools, hospitals, wedding parties, funerals, children concentrations, Humanitarian facilities , water facilities, bazars and ports inside Yemen. All of this madness is carried out only with the purpose of restoring another corrupt puppet, Mansur Hadi back to power! In other words, Saudi Arabia is massacring people of Yemen for only one man! Worse still, it has recently turned out that Saudi and UAE don’t agree on who should rule Yemen in future! Now imagine the impossible that they can crush the Ansar Allah Movement! We may then see a war between KSA and UAE on future of Yemen!
• United Arab Emirates have also been accused of forcing Southerners and recurring mercenaries from Africa and Latin America to fight its war, It has been also accused of running prisons in the South where they torture people, and their troops have been involved in rape of Yemeni women. If you don’t hear about these atrocities in the mainstream media it is because Western governments themselves have been hand in glove with the Arab coalition in this shameless bloody gang rape of Yemen!
• So given all this horrendous criminal record, which person in the right mind can suggest that the GCC can be a legitimate party to any political solution in Yemen let alone having the right to dictate the political structure of Yemen after the war? In fact, once the war ends, in a just world, the GCC must face war crime charges in the Hague for this horrific humanitarian catastrophe that they have imposed on Yemen! I hope the time of reckoning will come soon! I believe the war in Yemen will soon spell the end of this criminal cabal whose reign over Arabia has been a disaster for Muslim world from the beginning!
