Religious groups that received official encouragement trained their members, made them well-prepared, and readied them to sacrifice themselves at a moment’s notice. We shouldn’t ignore that there is more than one religious group in Yemen that practices religious work under the cover of politics. Many of these groups augmented conflicts in Afghanistan with a large number of volunteers. These groups attempted to reach tribes here in Yemen, as the poorer tribes are the weakest circle that can be penetrated and attracted to such causes. The reason is simply that the culture of tribes instigates daily conflicts. Consequently, these tribes consider tolerance as neglecting their rights and rights of the group. Therefore, revenge is the master of the situation. One of them was asked, “Will you be pleased to attain paradise and be tolerant with those who offend you?” He answered, “No, I would rather take my revenge and enter hell!”
As a result of this culture and psychology of conflict, such tribes are targeted either to provide protection or support for these religious groups. Those who carry guns against their relatives and cousins in a tribal or revenge war won’t care about abiding by civil law, nor do they easily accept living under it.
