Yemen’s Houthi rebels have assured Russia and China that their ships can safely travel through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, according to a Bloomberg report.
In return, both China and Russia have promised to provide some “political support” to the Shia militant group. The exact nature of the help has not been detailed, but it may include backing them in international institutions, such as by blocking resolutions aimed at the Houthis in the United Nations Security Council, Bloomberg reported.
