#1 In February 2014 a committee of senior members of Yemen's political parties, and chaired by Yemen President Mansur Hadi, agreed to recreate a perpetually fractious Yemen into a federation of six regions. The participants thus rejected a two state solution -- a North and South -- the same situation that existed from 1967-1990 and was cause of much bloodshed. One region created was devoted to the Shiite Houthi minority. The meeting and subsequent agreement were sponsored by the Gulf states and the UN.
However, the Houthi soon broke the cease-fire and must now face the consequence. Despite Iranian support the Houthi homeland is being bombed, and the Saudis will not quit until the region returns to the 12th century and the Shiite community is decimated.

#2 returns to the 12th century

Why stop there?

If they go back to the 6th century they'll be free of the curse of Islam.
