Saudi Arabia on Tuesday announced the formation of a 34-state Islamic military coalition to combat terrorism, according to a joint statement published on state news agency SPA.
“The countries here mentioned have decided on the formation of a military alliance led by Saudi Arabia to fight terrorism, with a joint operations centre based in Riyadh to coordinate and support military operations,” the statement said.
A long list of Arab countries such as Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, together with Islamic countries Turkey, Malaysia, Pakistan and Gulf Arab and African states were mentioned.
The announcement cited “a duty to protect the Islamic nation from the evils of all terrorist groups and organizations whatever their sect and name which wreak death and corruption on earth and aim to terrorise the innocent.”
Shia Muslim Iran, Sunni Saudi Arabia’s arch rival for influence in the Arab world, was absent from the states named as participants, as proxy conflicts between the two regional powers rage from Syria to Yemen.
The United States has been increasingly outspoken about its view that Gulf Arab states should do more to aid the military campaign against the Islamic State militant group based in Iraq and Syria.
In a rare press conference, 30-year-old crown prince and Defence Minister Mohammed bin Salman told reporters on Tuesday that the campaign would “coordinate” efforts to fight terrorism in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and Afghanistan, but offered few concrete indications of how military efforts might proceed.
“There will be international coordination with major powers and international organisations … in terms of operations in Syria and Iraq. We can’t undertake these operations without coordinating with legitimacy in this place and the international community,” bin Salman said without elaborating.
Asked if the new alliance would focus just on Islamic State, bin Salman said it would confront not only that group but “any terrorist organisation that appears in front of us.”
Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab neighbours have been locked in nine months of warfare with Iran-allied rebels in neighbouring Yemen, launching hundreds of air strikes there.
Especially after a rash of attacks on Western targets claimed by Islamic State in recent months, the United States has increasingly said it thinks that firepower would better be used against IS.
As a ceasefire is set to take hold in Yemen on Tuesday alongside United Nations-backed peace talks, Riyadh’s announcement may signal a desire to shift its attention back towards the conflicts north of its borders.
Islamic State has pledged to overthrow the monarchies of the Gulf and have mounted a series of attacks on Shia Muslim mosques and security forces in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
So under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, these 34 nations including Pakistan will be fighting with terrorism and to uphold human rights. May be – under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, a new Islamic Caliphate may be anounced so that no muslim in the world can oppose and in the coming new dispensation of the world, this new Caliphate could be the world super power replacing USA and other western powers.
This completely laughable and hypocritical since everyone knows most of the Wahabi led countries are the creators of Taliban and ISIS!!!!!!
[…] Pakistan Today – 34 Etats regroupés au sein d’une coalition islamique anti-terroriste : c’est l’annonce faite aujourd’hui par l’Arabie Saoudite… et le Pakistan en fera partie. Objectif : coordonner les efforts de lutte des pays à majorité musulmane contre le terrorisme en Irak, en Syrie, en Lybie, en Egypte et en Afghanistan – le tout pour assurer les Etats-Unis de la bonne volonté et de l’implication des ces pays contre la menace terroriste internationale. Cela fait plusieurs mois que Washington reproche à Islamabad de fournir insuffisamment d’efforts contre le terrorisme, alors que le Pakistan a été frappé encore hier par un attentat. L’Iran, grand rival régional de l’Arabie Saoudite, reste néanmoins écarté de l’alliance. […]
