    The Houthis aren’t the recognized government of Yemen.

    They control a large part of the country, and the civil war there is currently in a ceasefire. And of course they’re also attacking shipping in the Red Sea with a back and forth going on with the navies in a coalition led by the US.

    But let’s not give these assholes the legitimacy they want by considering them to be the government of Yemen.

      So how would you word it differently? It seems that the article is portraying them as a strong power within the nation that is backed by Iran though.

        The article’s headline is "Houthis in Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 9 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”

        This is fine. Though the subheader says “The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals”. Should be using words like “the group” or “the faction” not “the country”.

        Anyway, the link here is "Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 10 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”

        Not sure the reason for changing it from the headline of the article. Perhaps the linked article did have the same headline as here when OP posted it, and they changed it because of similar feedback I’m making here. Don’t know if OP can change it now. Anyway, it’s been noted in by my comment and other comments, so I guess it’s fine.

        Such are the problems inherent in alternative media.
