Born to be torn: A generation raised under Houthi rule in Yemen

In this opinion piece, former Yemeni official Alkhadher Sulaiman revisits his warning from nearly eight years ago about a generation of children raised under Houthi rule, now being recruited and indoctrinated in schools and camps. He argues that waiting for an internal uprising has failed, citing recent missile and drone attacks on Aden, Hadramout, Shabwa and Saudi airports as evidence the threat has spread beyond Yemen's borders.
