Egypt will interfere in Sudan's politics, How?

The late appearance of Egypt in Sudanese politics has sought the eyes of the world.  When on 25 October 2021 the Sudan military ousted the transitional prime minister from power. That time PM was Abdullah Hamdok. Now after 16 months the neighbor Egypt took a stand and came into the spotlight. Now after a long time, Eygpt started a ‘Quick Political Solution’. All this came after several voices from huge sections of the Sudanese public, the announcement by Egypt came when the Egyptian ambassador was conspicuously absent and the country chose not to join the ranks of the UK, USA, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.  Although the world knows that no one can understand the depth of Sudan's opinion and condition more than Egypt. The history of this country is linked. Egypt knows the historical signs of Islamic heroism in Sudan, and Egypt has seen the journey of Sudan to independence. Therefore, Egypt always tried to suppress Islam in Sudan. Egypt has seen the new leaders move too, which were sho...

What The United States Recently Released Military Budget Implies For Countries In The Middle East

  Congress passed the FY2023 defense budget a week later, and President Biden signed it last month. $858 billion was $45 billion more than he proposed. It improves military members' and families' access to justice and supports homeland security, foreign policy, and national defense. The Defense Department's final budget contains many Middle East security-related items. The secretary of defense has requested a plan to improve Middle Eastern air defense networks to protect US allies from Iranian missile attacks. To protect populations, infrastructure, and borders, these nations need an integrated air and missile defense system. The National Defence Authorization Act oversees the defense budget and requires the US to design an interagency plan to disrupt and dismantle narcotics networks with connections to the Assad administration in Syria. The American Coalition for Syria believes Bashar Assad has turned Syria into a drug state where Captagon pills are manufactured and dispen...

Untold story of weapons in Iran

  With Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan and Iran getting its hands on the weapons, things have become extremely unpredictable in the region. In the forceful acquisition, Iran has been making several under-the-table deals with Taliban’s leader. In the widespread scam it was revealed that Iran has been stealing US military equipment despite repeated warnings of the officials and the regional heads. Increasing the regional threats and expanding the territory of fear, Taliban and Iran have joined hands to steal the equipment’s that belonged to US military while they were in Afghanistan. This has proved to be an opportunity for Tehran who has been looking to get back to American treatment of sanctions. Even with Joe Biden in power, the sanctions on Iran remain strict and even higher level talks could not help the two countries come to one state of documentation. Iran is known to fund and support terrorists in the region and with its current leader, who is an ultra-conservat...

Assad army steps up offensive in Daraa

  Shelling was started once again by Syrian regime troops in Daraa in a bid to assert control over an area that has defied state authority since it was retaken three years ago. The army was found unguarded when suddenly rebels captured and took control of troops and provinces in the southern area of Daraa.   Although, the army has sent hundreds of elite troops, dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles to storm the enclave where peaceful protests against Assad family rule began in 2011 and were met by deadly force before spreading across the country.   Worsening the situation, the opposition insists the agreement allowed only civilian control and not of military troops. Abu Jehad al Horani, who is an opposition official said that the regime wants to end what they see as a living symbol of the revolt against it. If they silence it by returning the army they will subjugate the whole Hauran region.   Attacks of this nature spread terror and panic among civilians...

“Here’s the Great Transition of New Turkey Representing the Changes they Have Made”

  Let’s look about what’s interesting on what I read today. This is a moment in the world of great transition. Turkey has redefined itself in the midst of this; the current Turkey is very different from what it was in the past. Nevertheless, some people still live in the past, do not believe in the idea that Turkey has "global interests" and think that other countries' interests can and will be decided by only the US.   But I want us to focus on this since the message is that it is a military force to be taken seriously by Turkey. It owns not only sophisticated weapons, but also a domestic defense industry that produces them. As the once-sabre-rattling countries are now pursuing dialogue and talks with Ankara to alleviate conflict, in fact, the message seems to have come through.

  Sunday, 20, Sept 2020. Turkey and Iran are preparing to play a political, military and ideological role in Africa.

Iran is striving to become the most powerful state in the Middle East in terms of military,   science and technology. Turkey, which is currently expanding its presence in the Middle East and Africa, appears to be playing a key role in establishing military bases in Africa and becoming the most influential country in the Indian Ocean and East Africa in particular.   Turkey has a large presence in Somalia and has military bases in many parts of Africa. The friendship between Iran and Turkey appears to be a military one and they are taking part in the revolt in the Red Sea and the coasts of North Africa. As countries in the Horn of Africa next to the middle East, it is ...
