The need to hold an emergency Arab summit

Written by: Captive Ziyad Zahran “Abu Amal”


The Arab nation is going through unprecedented serious crises and challenges. Crises threaten the security and stability of the region, and warn of further planned Arab division and fragmentation. In most cases, these conditions stand in the way of all hoped-for development, development, and modernization attempts, and lead to building unequal alliances that are harmful in the short and long term. It is accompanied by a humiliating concession of the nation’s capabilities and wealth, and the transgression of all principled red lines that touch the heart and soul of every free Arab who believes in the causes of his nation, and at the forefront of these red lines is Al-Quds Al-Sharif.
Hardly a week has passed since the start of the events in Ukraine, but European and international summits and meetings are held at the highest levels, in order to discuss the crisis, analyze its dimensions, and draw up unified plans and decisions, to limit the negative results from its point of view. These meetings present all options for preserving Europe's interests and alliances, and forging new alliances based on common interests that are intended to preserve the capabilities and wealth of the allied parties, in order to confront what it considers aggression or external aggression.
The Arab citizen watches the acceleration of events in the Arab world with eyes full of sadness. He also sees the double international standards, and the human conscience that now recognizes the right of force, does not support the power of right, shakes hands with the killer, interrupts the victim, and what increases the blackness of the scene is the lightning drift behind falsehood against oneself, so the citizen wonders whether the Arabs have taken real steps to change what is happening ?
Hardly anyone disagrees with the description of the miserable and painful Arab scene. The destruction in Syria, Yemen and Iraq, the economic and political disasters in Lebanon, Sudan and Libya, the successive crises in the Maghreb, and the state of instability in the Arabian Peninsula, which is wasting its resources and money in the face of Iran's nuclear fear. . Added to this is Palestine, which was left for its children to confront with the will and stones of tanks and the bullets of a nuclear entity
The leaders of the Arab nation know that there is no point in relying on Arab renaissance and progress without unity, just as they know fully that allying with enemies is surrender that history will not justify. The leaders of the nation are certain that the American projects in the Arab world and its neighborhood will make them more dependent, and will make them lose even the ability to run their countries alone, and they will not be far from what happened to Gaddafi, Saddam, and Hosni Mubarak.
We teach our children that self-reliance is the secret of success. We also teach them that our cooperation, solidarity, and solidarity protect us from the oppression of the enemies, and we tell them that our resources and our civilization are much greater than what is described, and it is true, but we practice the opposite of what we teach our children. We reject our unity, extend our hands to the enemies, fight each other, and honor those responsible for our calamities, for the oppression of Arabism in our veins, and for what we were stingy in seeing our future and our grandchildren.
The Arab power triangle "Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria". what you are waiting for? Call for an emergency Arab summit to provide an urgent solution to our internal issues, and define our priorities as an Arab, Islamic and Christian nation with the need for the stability of all our Arab countries, and provide what is necessary to build bridges of Arab unity. Arab power must be built, and whoever desires Islamic countries should be invited to defense alliances to avoid the funded divisions we are in, wars that waste our capabilities, aggressions that we cannot respond alone, and ambitions that devour our capitals without stopping.
Arab decisions must be made that adhere to and call for international legitimacy as a whole, without distillation or double standards
Arab decisions prohibit making alliances with a lurking enemy that does not declare its borders. An enemy bombards the heart of our civilization without control, and declares day and night the world's stupidity
Arab decisions support and affirm the right of all peoples to freedom and independence, and the inalienable right to resist the colonizer and occupier by all means.
Arab decisions criminalize secret treaties that sell the rights of others at a low price, or fake promises of protection
