US new cooperation with Shiite rebels to fight al-Qaeda will lead to sectarian war in Yemen' analyst
2015-01-29
[YEMENONLINE.INFO] The Yemeni political analyst Jamal Al-Awadhi said to YOL that the new US strategy of anti-terrorism in Yemen will lead to sectarian war between Shiites and Sunnis.
...or follow it, at least. It's quite a bit too late to lead there.
It is known that the Sunnis in Yemen, representing 70% , The whole people in southern are Sunnis, while the people in the north of north of Yemen are Shiite' Al-Awadhi said. He added that the US war against Al-Qaeda in the Sunni areas using the militia of al-Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to Americaâ„¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
rebels (Shiite) made new alliances between Sunni tribes and al-Qaeda on the basis of al-Qaeda also belong to the Sunni sect . The Sunni tribes considered the Shiite Houthi attacks on their areas are targeted the Sunnis in the light of the great historical differences and conflict between Sunnis and Shiites in Yemen' Al-Awadhi Said.

Thus, al-Qaeda is no longer fighting alone, but has become more powerful than ever because of the alliance and cooperation with Sunni tribes to protect their areas of expansion of armed Shiite militias' the Yemeni analyst noted.
And still the Americans have not yet become involved.
Al-Awadi added that if the current US news strategy continues in the war against al-Qaeda in Yemen by the new alliance with the Houthis that will lead the expansion of armed festivities in more than one area and instead of weakening al-Qaeda the result will be the opposite.
We could kill them all, and let God sort them out. Would you prefer that, Mr. Analyst?
There are many examples where the Sunni tribes and al-Qaeda attacks in areas such as al-Beidah and Marib province cost al- Huothi militia dozens of victims daily, the United States should examine their strategy well in Yemen, where it became necessary to deal with the war against al-Qaeda in Yemen with new means and more accurate, Al-Awadhi said.
