  • Shia Islam in Yemen is practiced by a significant minority of the population; it is estimated that Zaydi Muslims comprise about 35 percent of the population. Sunnis make up 65 percent, and there are also much smaller communities of Muslims who are of the Isma'ili and Twelver Shia sects. The Zaydis ruled Yemen for 1,000 years up until 1962. During this time, they ferociously defended their independence and fought off foreign powers (Umayyads, Egypt, the Ottomans) who controlled Lower Yemen and tried to extend their rule to the north. The Zaydi branch of Islam, also known as the Fivers, is a sect of Islam almost exclusively extant only in Yemen. (en)
