It depends on the region in question. Additionally, it depends on how the question is read. If it asking whether or not Sunnis and Shiites have an impact on the region as groups and as individuals, the answer is almost certainly "yes" for any area with a substantial population of either. If the question is whether any conflict or disagreement between them is affecting the region, you may have to narrow down the region to particular countries.

What is the continuing conflict between the Sunnis and Shiites in Afghanistan?
Answer 1Shia and Sunni are not fighting. but Wahhabi Muslims are fighting both shia and sunni.Answer 2While Afghanistan certainly has violence between Sunnis and Shiites, it mostly goes in one direction, i.e. Sunnis killing/maiming/hurting Shiites. The largest Afghan Shiite community are the Hazaras who were historically targeted by the Taliban and other extremist Sunni groups. There is also government-level discrimination against the Hazara both in terms of non-investment in Hazarajat (the Hazara-dominated region in Afghanistan) and by special provisions that allow other nomadic Afghans to use Hazarajat's resources to a greater degree than in other regions. However, Hazara discrimination is lessening under the government of Hamid Karzai.Much larger Sunni-Shiite conflicts (which are almost always ethnic political conflicts with religious identifiers) occur in Pakistan, Iraq, Bahrain, Syria, and Lebanon.

What countries have gotten involved in the Sunnis vs. Shiites conflict?
It is incorrect to say that there is an international Sunni/Shiite conflict. There is no general conflict between all or almost all Sunnis and Shiites in the way that there were conflicts in Europe between almost all Catholics and Protestants in the 16th and 17th century (Thirty Years War et al.). While there are certainly conflicts between Sunnis and Shiites, it is always in a localized or national context, not an international one. In much of the Muslim world, "Sunni" and "Shiite" are viewed as more than just religious labels, but have a "quasi-ethnic" component. It has the power to determine social groups and political organizations, prompting conflict on those grounds. However, typically, the various conflicts across the Middle East where Sunnis and Shiites fight one another (such as the Iran-Iraq War, the Lebanese Civil War, the Iraqi Insurgency, the Bahraini Uprising, and the Syrian Civil War) other large Islamic States and Western States enter the fray. Saudi Arabia, several Gulf States, and Jordan usually support Sunni militants. Iran and Syria tend to back Shiite militants. The Western Powers, especially the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany tend to support whichever side of the conflict purports to agree more with their idelogies of how the region should be governed or to avenge political grievances with an Islamic government with whose policies it disagrees.
