ramadan, Why are they fighting in Yemen?

Sunni and Shia fight for 1400 years. after pbuh died they fought over who was going to be the new boss. They never stopped. That is about it.

Hello,

Here is a quick summary:

" To understand the civil war taking place in Yemen, you need look no further than the tension that exists between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Two of the region’s most powerful countries are also regional enemies with opposing religious affiliations.

Iran’s religious doctrine is Shia Islam, and is throwing their financial support behind the their Shiite-aligned Houthi fighters, militants based in northern Yemen.

Saudi Arabia adheres to Sunni Islam, and supports President Hadi and his Sunni loyalists. The Saudi Kingdom shares a border with northern Yemen in an area inhabited by the Houthis, and have engaged in numerous battles with the militant group over the past decade.

Thus, you have two coalitions, the Sunni Sauds supporting and fighting alongside the Yemeni Sunni government, and the Shiite Houthis, who are allegedly receiving financial support from Shiite Tehran."

Different ideas on the same theme of Islam,just like all the other wars taking place in Muslim countries

They're carrying on the lessons taught by Mohammy

Because they're Muslims.

Because Oh Bummer and his army lost the battle fighting there the last 10 years.

@Bricklayer, it seems as if you don't like Muslims, then why are you married to one? There have been civil wars in the past between Christianity too and among the different sects so don't act like as if its only Muslims who engage in wars and civil wars.

What else is there to do on a Sunday afternoon?

Shia want rule sunni like they do in iraq and Syria.
