Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi is a Yemeni politician who serves as the leader of the Zaidi revolution movement Ansar Allah (Houthis). His brothers Yahia and Abdul-Karim are also leaders of the group, as were his late brothers Hussein, Ibrahim, and Abdulkhaliq. Abdul-Malik Houthi is the leading figure in a revolution starting in the Saada Governorate in northern Yemen, which has been continuing from 2004 to the present day. The uprising was called the Houthi Rebellion due to his leadership.


The UN announced a travel ban on al-Houthi in November 2014 after the Houthi takeover of Sana’a. During a visit to the northern province, Jamal Benomar, the former UN envoy to Yemen, met with al-Houthi and said he supported the Houthi group in their rejection of moving the talks between Al Houthi and the current government outside of Yemen, in spite of the complaint of Hadi, the Yemeni legitimate president.


On 10 January 2021, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced plans to designated Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi and Abdullah Yahya al Hakim as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. A month later, Antony J. Blinken revoked the designation of the trio as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
