Yemen rebels accuse government of breaking truce - 22 Sep 09

Rebel Houthi fighters in northern Yemen have accused the government of breaking the latest ceasefire, saying there has been no sign of any let up in violence around the city of Saada. But Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, said the rebels, who are mostly from the Shia Zaydi sect, had ignored the ceasefire offer and accused them of killing civilians and using "human shields". This comes after the government claimed it had killed more than 140 fighters who had attacked its regional headquarters. Fighting between the rebels and government forces have flared since the army launched its latest operation in August in Saada and Amran provinces. The government says the rebels want to restore a Shia state that fell in the 1960s and accuse Shia power Iran of maintaining contacts with them. The rebels say they want autonomy and accuse Saleh, who is himself a Shia Zaydi, of despotism and corruption in a drive to stay in power, as well as introducing Sunni fundamentalism via his alliance with Saudi Arabia. Imran Khan reports.

Inside Story - Doubts over Yemen's future - Sep 7 2009

The five-year long fighting between government forces and Houthi fighters in the north of Yemen has cast a shadow on the future of this Arab country. Houthi fighters, who are Zaidi Shia Muslims, are seeking independence from a government which they say is corrupt and too close to Saudi Arabia. The latest round of fighting started in Yemen's north last month and has continued primarily in Saada province. It is estimated that more than 100000 people have been displaced in the fighting in Saada and UN aid agencies are warning that Yemen is on the brink of a humanitarian crisis. Just four hours after a truce was declared on Saturday, fighting had resumed with both sides claiming the other had broken the ceasefire. Is Yemen heading for another civil war? And how are regional powers influencing events in a country considered a breeding ground for extremist groups? Inside Story presenter Sohail Rahman is joined by Hakim Almasmari, the editor-in-chief of the Yemen Post, Tahar Qassim, the chairman of the Liverpool Arabic Centre, and Steven Park, the founder of Sema Group, a global security company.
