The reason why Saudi Attack Shia Houthis in Yemen |
There are two approaches to look at the motives Arabia attacked Shiite Houthi
First, ideological approach. Unlike the previous king, Raja Salman relatively more haroki. He is close to the Islamic movement and scholars of Ahlus Sunnah obey. While Houthi was clear ideology.
According to reference one of the sites of Islam, Shia Houthi (bersamadakwah.net) is a Zaidi Shiite militant group operating in Yemen. Shia Zaidi is one branch of Iran's Shia Imami.
Well, as we know feud Ahlus Sunnah with Shia, Shia Arabia has interests that are not in power in Yemen and strengthen the Shia in the Middle East. Ideological motive also mentioned that Shia Islam that is not fighting against a Shiite perlakuaan jihad to stop the oppression of strength.
Secondly, partnership approach. This could be a separate or additional motive of the first motif. That the United Nations urged the Houthis (www.tempo.co) submit to the President of the legitimate authority of Al Hadi. Americans also support the United Nations. While the Saudis have long established good relations with the US and the UN. So when Houthis refused, Al Hadi government should be supported even though it is a secular government.
