i Yemen's Shia Houthi rebels announce takeover of country

[anilindia]

Yemen's powerful Shia rebels announced on Friday that they have taken over the country and dissolved parliament, a dramatic move that finalizes their months-long power grab.

The development also plunges the impoverished country deeper into turmoil and threatens to turn the crisis into a full-blown sectarian conflict, pitting the Iran-backed Houthi Shias against Sunni tribesmen and secessionists in the south.

It could also play into the hands of Yemen's al-Qaeda branch, the world's most dangerous offshoot of the terror group, and jeopardize the U.S. counter-terrorism operations in the country.

Whose worse, alqaeda or houthis ?

Houtis aren't terrorists. neither do they plan terror activities but the Yemeni government do use Al-Qaeda to attack them.
