 File under: Houthis 

#1 The Houthi revolt is dated from 2004 when Saada, the Houthi homeland, literally exploded. The result was an insurgency led by Hussaain Badreddin al-Houthi the Zaidi Shia religious leader. Before a cease-fire was reached in 2007 thousands had been killed and a quarter-million Yemenis displaced. The cease-fire was followed by a tenuous 2008 peace agrement that no one respected. When the Houthis sought to gain control of their Saada homeland there resulted in the displacement of as many as 80,000 Yemenis --mostly Sunni Muslims. This time, given Houthi intransigence Saudi Arabia will not be satisfied until Saada is leveled and the Shiites scattered.
