File under: Houthis

#1 He revealed that there are disputes between the Houthis and the pro-Saleh Yemeni Republican Guard on the management of battles and on issuing orders.

I was wondering. I thought they were allies. Just a case of "you're not the boss of me"

#2 complicated

Houthis are an early Shiite sect which controls much of the western part of yemen

alu abdullah saleh has been an active player for decades - sometimes allied with the Houthis, sometimes against them - he also was allied with Saddam Hussain at one time and at one time with the Saudis

The eastern part of the country is mostly controlled by the Saudi supported Sunni led faction

Al Q is fighting in Yemen as is ISIS

both fight against the Houthis and both fight against the Saudi allied Sunni led faction (and they sometimes fight each other)

#3 All that matters here is that the Yemeni's make the Saudi's spend all their money on killing them until the oil runs out.
