Houthi leader writes Oped in Washington Post, recruites teenagers

Saudi journalist Adhwan al-Ahmari tweeted a video of a Houthi leader with his teenager recruits on Thursday.

Ahmaris tweet was criticizing a decision that was taken by Washington Post to allow the Houthi leader to write an oped, through showing a video of the Houthi leader in the back of a truck with his teenager recruits.

After he was given the chance to write at the @Washingtonpost by @karenattiah , the Houthi leader got excited and recruited some more teenagers to fight beside him in Yemen. He appeared in a video taking a tour with his new fighters. pic.twitter.com/PpiJOPsBKi

Last week, the Washington Posts Karen Attiah gave the Houthi leader a chance to write an oped for the daily newspaper.
