Dozens Killed, Thousands Displaced in Yemen Clashes
---------------------------------------------------



In Yemen, dozens of people have been killed and thousands displaced in
fighting between Yemeni government forces and Houthi rebels. The Houthi
belong to an offshoot Shia sect named the Zaidi. Clashes between the two
sides have left hundreds dead since 2004, including an estimated 150
people last month.
