about all the entities involved in Yemen. The Yemen government is an Ally of the United States and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is the country that has most influence in Yemen.
What is happening in Yemen is a War between Houthis, (which are Shiites, backed by Iran) and the Yemen and Saudi Governments as allies. Bin Laden was a Saudi National who created Al Qaeda. They are Sunnis. They are the people carrying out Jihad in Iraq and Syria. The Saudis and Qatar are funding them.
What makes this even stranger, the Houthis have accused the Obama Administration of carrying out Drone Strikes on them, and helping the Yemen and Saudi forces, instead. They accused the Obama Administration of killing women and children in Yemen. The twist even gets more murkier, with the Assad regime, claiming the Saudis were releasing al Qaeda Terrorists from their prisons if they promised to fight Jihad in Syria. It is a lot of dots to connect, but that is what's driving the theme, the West are helping Terrorists, because their overall target is breaking the resistance against Israel, by bringing down Hezbullah,Syria and Iran. They got in bed with Al Qaeda against the Russians in Afghanistan too. They are also trying to negotiate with the Taliban again in Qatar. It is interesting the Taliban now has headquarters in Qatar, right out in the open now.
