I have tried to learn a bit more about the modern history of Yemen, but it isn't easy. The Royal Family belong to Shia, but when the last King and Imam was deposed in 1962, the Royal Family moved to Saudiarabia and lived there in exile. But, as we know, Saudiarabia is VERY Sunni, and the Saudiarabians are not amused about the Shia milis taking control of Sana'a. Ooohh, this gives me a headache!
