As crisis in Yemen is getting complex and compounded, the Saudi government has officially ask the Pakistani government to send troops and participate in action against Houthis rebels in ongoing war in Yemen. Pakistani government is yet to make an official decision on this sensitive request.
Saudi Arabia has a special status among general masses in Pakistan and an overwhelming majority would like Pakistani troops protecting the sacred land but this crisis in Yemen has very delicate sectarian dynamics as well. Keeping that in mind, it would not be an easy decision to make for government. Sending troops to fight Yemeni rebels would mean very different for both Sunni and Shias in Pakistan as this crisis in Yemen is outcome of a bloody proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Keeping this scenario in mind, what you think, how Pakistan must play its role in this crisis ( if any)?
