Answer 1

Shia and Sunni are not fighting. but Wahhabi Muslims are fighting both shia and sunni.

Answer 2

While 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.
