Conflict intensifies in northern Yemen - 13 Nov 09

Fighting is escalating in the north of Yemen where government forces have been battling Houthi rebels for months.

In recent weeks, Saudi Arabia has been drawn into the conflict, vowing to continue air and artillery strikes across the border with the aim of establishing a buffer zone.

Now, the Houthi fighters have released video footage which they say shows Saudi bombardment of the Doukhan mountains in the north of Yemen and captured Yemeni soldiers.

this is why aljazeera should have left the comment option off. too many people with nonsense to say....yes justice, muslim countries have alot of natural resources. may Allah guide the leaders to put them to better use

Muslim countries are beautiful 1:30 and rich with natural resources but due the corrupt and greedy leaders full of mysery. As long as the Muslim leader are having US agenda people in our countries will suffer. A shame.

The bin Ahmer opposition & the Houthi rebels is just the frustration of Ali Salehs long in power & hes planning to replace his son as president. Its not helpful. The regime in the south were a more intelligent & responsible governing body. Many are worried that if the situation is not solved, Yemen will be going down the path of Iraq & Somalia, divided by tribes & beliefs such as Sunni & Zaidia. the unifications of the South with the North was a hope to stable the tribe regime of NY

Saudi should surrender to real Muslim, Saudi is coward

[imihar333]

what did you sunni think that the shia would just sit by and let you people kill our brothers. did you think that iran would just sit by and let the saudies kill our shia brothers. iran is doing the right thing by supporting the yemeni people. and one day inshallah the shia in saudi arabia will stand up as well and take what is right fully theirs.

the shia are forever loyal to the ahl al bayt. with the prophet (pbuh) and the Amir al momenin on your side no one will be able to defeat you.
