Houthis reportedly sink British ship in Red Sea - Lemmy.World

I really wish they’d stop referring to the Houthis as “rebels”. Like, it is technically correct. They are rebelling against the globally recognized government in the country they live in. But it gives the impression that this is a rag tag group of dudes with a few AKs instead of the reality which is that they are decently funded military with a territory the size of Ireland under their control.
So if the term they use is correct but you don’t like it, what would you like them to say?

Houthi militia, Houthi army, Houthi military…

You know, whatever.
