Over the last year of observation, I am convinced that a Sunni-Zaidi war is what some (outsiders) are hoping to happen in Yemen, not now, but in the long run.
Some gain automatically when Arab states busy themselves in anything except developing a nation. The more conflicts, the more years are lost without Arabs building. Arabs, with the help of the west, will in the same time busy themselves killing one another, like what is happening in Iraq.
The Houthis blamed the U.S. ambassador in Yemen for standing behind the killing of 25 Houthis by a suicide bomber, while the ambassador denied the accusations. What the Houthis meant was that the newly established Al-Qaeda branch in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is a tool in the hands of western intelligence, and its duty is to cause more conflicts and deaths within Arab nations. In the same time, to make people picture AQAP as a threat to the west, by bringing up many failed attempts against western interests in the media. One example could be the failed attack on a British convoy that did not cause even scratches, but was used to market AQAP as an enemy of the west. The parcel bombs are another example. Not one person has been blamed for the parcel bombs, while it is impossible to send a package from Yemen through UPS or Fed Ex without photo copying the personal ID of the exact sender. So, who benefits from the parcel bombs, AQAP or western intelligence, or are they the same one way or the other?
Houthis have by time proved to us that they are accurate in their wording, but were they accurate when they blamed the U.S. ambassador for the attacks?
Should we believe U.S. ambassador or the Houthi? After the Wikileaks reports, I would think twice before answering that question.
