This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 87%. (I'm a bot)


> Yemeni student Abir Al Maqtari dreamt of studying abroad but amid a tightening of restrictions on women - echoing religious regimes in Iran and Afghanistan - Houthi forces blocked her from leaving.

> The Iran-backed Houthis, who have controlled swathes of the Arab world's poorest country since seizing the Yemeni capital Sanaa in 2014, have increasingly enforced travel restrictions on women over the past eight months, residents and activists say.

> The Houthis have clamped down on women travelling without a "Mahram" - or male relative - even within the country.

I like to bring up the fact that their flag literally has 'Curse on the Jews' written on it. There's always people trying to defend this by saying something about Israel.

The thing is, their flag also says 'Death to Israel'...
