’Urgent Need’ for Unified Anti-Terrorism Force: Arab League |
Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi called on Monday for the creation of a unified Arab force to battle the spread of the Takfiri groups.
"There is an urgent need for the creation of a multi-purpose common Arab military force... able to intervene rapidly to fight terrorism and the activities of terrorist groups," Arabi told a meeting of league foreign ministers in Cairo.
He also stressed the importance of "cooperation in areas related to security protection and the exchange of information between Arab countries."
Arab League deputy chief Ahmed Ben Helli told reporters last week that the bloc's leaders are expected to focus on the creation of such a common force when they meet for its annual summit on March 28-29 in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
He had said such a force was important as a "symbolic" show of deterrence at times of "conflict or disasters".
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has also called for such a force, saying it is needed to confront security threats in a region where the Takfiri group ISIL holds swathes of Syria and Iraq and has gained a foothold in Egypt's neighbor Libya.
He has suggested that a number of Arab League members, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, are considering supporting the idea.

The Zionist Foreign Minister Lieberman has shocked people around the world with his latest attack, when he called for decapitating with an axe all Arabs who oppose the entity of occupation.
Speaking at an election event in Herzliya, Liberman said that "The Israeli Arabs will gain much with standing by us but those who are against us must be decapitated with an axe."
"Otherwise there will be no such thing as Israel," he warned.
Referring to the Palestinians who stayed residing in the occupied territories of 1948, usually called as "Arabs of Israel", Liberman stated that he desires to return them back to the Palestinian President.
"Those who raise the black flag on 'Nakba Day' in mourning over the establishment of Israel do not belong here, as far as I am concerned, and I am quite willing to donate them to PA chief Mahmoud Abbas. It would be my pleasure,” he said.
The Zionist entity occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank during the 1967 Middle East War. It later annexed the city of Jerusalem in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the self-proclaimed Jewish state in a move never recognized by the international community.
International law views the West Bank and East Jerusalem as "occupied territories," considering all Jewish settlement building on the land to be illegal.
