COUNTRIES: YEMEN:
Factbox: Roots of Yemen's Conflict with Northern Rebels
Factbox: Roots of Yemen's Conflict with Northern Rebels
(Reuters) - Yemen rejected a ceasefire offer from Shi'ite rebels on Sunday
and said fighting was going on, as neighboring Saudi Arabia accused the
insurgents of mounting sniper attacks inside its territory.

The conflict with the northern rebels, who complain of social, religious
and economic discrimination in the southern Arabian state, has rumbled on
since 2004, but intensified last year and drew in oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
The rebels are known as the Houthis after the family name of their leader
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. Here is some background about the Houthi rebels:
WHO ARE THE HOUTHIS?
* The Houthis, like most tribesmen in Yemen's northern highlands, belong
to the Zaidi sect of Shi'ite Islam, whose Hashemite line ruled for 1,000
years before the 1962 revolution.
* Zaidis, who make up about a third of Yemen's 23 million people, have
coexisted easily with majority Sunnis in the past, but Badr al-Din
al-Houthi, a cleric from the northern province of Saada, promoted Zaidi
revivalism in the 1970s, playing on fears that Saudi-influenced Salafis
threatened Zaidi identity.
* After north and south Yemen united in 1990, the movement spawned the
al-Haq party and the Houthi-led Believing Youth group. Houthi's son
Hussein was elected to parliament in 1993. Saada remained neglected
economically by the Sanaa government.
