The recent surge in Houthi rebel attacks on ships in the Red Sea has not only intensified the conflict in Yemen but also sent shockwaves through the global trade landscape.
Emerging in the 1990s as a response to corruption, the Houthi rebels have evolved into a formidable force, drawing parallels with historical proxy conflicts. This article unravels the basics of the Houthi rebel situation, highlighting the strategic importance of the Red Sea and, more specifically, delving into the profound impact on India’s trade dynamics.
