Best Answer

To an extent yes. Due to the breakdown of the law enforcement two waring factions have grown to fight for control of the nation. Both factions are from different ideologies of governance in Islamic law disagree on who and how the government should run. The Sunnis have a more elitist view and advocate for traditional theocracy while the Shia lean more toward a theocratic democracy. Being that this is a dispute between to factions of a single nation. The term Civil War very much applies.
