On January 17, 2024, the Houthi group (SDGT) was included in the terrorism lists, after the US Treasury had removed this classification from them on February 12, 2021.

Exploring the Role of Socio-economics and Sectarianism in Terrorist Recruitment
It becomes evident that the Islamic State’s recruitment strategies are primarily aimed at ideologically preparing jihadists to execute terrorist operations within their home countries. Therefore, European and American security agencies need to enhance their surveillance of social networks, Islamic forums, and Islamic sermons, and monitor those who regularly visit them.
Moreover, the international coalition against terrorism must earnestly address the tensions between the Kurds and Arabs, and between the Shiites and Sunnis.
