The Dutch ambassador to Yemen, Marie Van Duren, said the Houthis seek an Islamic Houthi state and do not argue whether it should be part or all of Yemen.
The Dutch ambassador compared the Houthis in Yemen to the Afghan Taliban terrorist movement.
Duren asked on twitter : "What kind of people are the Houthis? What do they want?"
And she added, "They have felt marginalized in northern Yemen under Saleh's rule, they now want a Houthi state, an Islamic state, and they do not argue whether it should be part of Yemen or all of it and you can compare them a little bit with the Taliban."
