Yemen rejects Houthi truce offer

Yemen's government has rejected the latest ceasefire offer from Shia fighters in the country's north.

The government set six conditions for a truce, but the leader of the Houthi fighters says he will only commit to five.

At least 20 people have been killed in renewed fighting.

@AmNotHere911: you are a sunni, and just because Iran supports some guerillia forces in Yemen who are fighting a dirty dictator and the wahabi terror state Saudi Jarabia, you now even support Israel. But I bet you are the first one to cry like a baby when a Shia wants to support Israel or US, because if Shias did that, they have every right to do so considering the innocent Shias are being slaughtered everywhere by sunni terrorists: in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi, Yemen etc. U hypocrite.

What your saying is kill all the Muslims for incidents that not even %1 of Muslims are part of, I think I'd want to get reed of people like you, not Muslims.

Actually the histrory of Arab on Arab violence is well documented...and yes, Atta, Jarrah and Co. flew 5,000 miles to start a war with the USA, on your behalf. I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with a skunk who calls me an "idiot" for attempting to be objective and in no way offensive. I'll let you have the last word in this one sided argument. Just Yell "SHUT UP" That's what you and your cronies are doing by down-voting my comments out of existance.

alqaeeda is cia my friend its a smoke scree, a political tool- to blame muslims. trust me

[Arabmaffia]

idiot, us arabs never flew 5000miles to start a war with the west we r peaceful people and yes arab and muslim laws are harsh but if u ever went to our countries u would see- u never hear about murder or rape or peodophiles on the news unlike the west which has the highest rate of every crime imaginable- u guys are the antagonist not the muslims.

Correction: A section of - wealth? - Arab Sunnis and shame on them they have no excuse. As for Al Qaida most Sunnis who adhere to the classical tradition find them abhorent,. That aside I believe our conversation is going nowhere but in circles so I bid you adieu and leave you to your views.

[Avicenna1985]

There are also millions of Shia Kurds, mostly in Iran but a lot also in Baghdad. I was talking about the Arab Sunnis: the people who were running Saddam's criminal Baath-party and participated in killing innocent Kurds and Shias. When these Arab Sunnis gassed the Kurds, they didn't even care they were fellow-Sunnis, this shows that they were also racist Arab fascist nationalists. As for al-Qaeda, they see themselves as Sunnis, I rather call them wahabi/salafi terrorists.

[AmNotHere911]

The Kurds were Sunnis under the Ottomans and carried on so afterward, as for 'sunnis' which sunnis are you reffering to? Non-shia nationalists? Disaffected tribesmen? Al-Qaeda? Which groups? Unless you're tarring ALL SUNNIS as members of Al-Qaeda in which case you're taking a sectarian stance and our conversation must end. As for me I repeat my stance I don't like ANY of the regimes in the Middle East and as far as I'm concern the last descent ruler was the last Ottoman sultan 90 years ago.

[Avicenna1985]

Lol so when it suits you, you call the Kurds sunnis. The militias only hunted down the baathists, face it, many of the criminal Saddamists were sunnis, and those criminals got what they deserved. Even after the invasion, the sunnis were the ones terrorizing Iraqis with their carbombs.. when the sunnis bombed the Golden Mosque in 2006, that's when the Shias took revenge for the first time and a civil war broke out. Now the sunnis are still continuing with their terror & Shias don't do anything.
