Nouakchott. the final communiqué of the 27th Summit of the Arab League, which ended in the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott last fortnight, largely reiterated the positions that the Arab states agree, while ignoring studiously sticking points.
"the final communiqué of the summit was widely direction," Hassan Nafaa, professor of political science at Cairo University, told the Anadolu Agency. "The statements he made are unlikely to affect the results in the field." The summit, he continued to say, "will not serve to solve one of the current crises in the Arab world."
The release of the league began by congratulating Ahmed Abul-Gheit, former Egyptian foreign minister, during his recent appointment as league secretary.
He continued to reaffirm the importance of the Palestinian issue, stressing the need for "joint Arab action" in this regard and make standard calls for an end decades of Israeli occupation of Arab lands. He also expressed support for a French peace initiative that seeks to revive dialogue between Palestinian and Israeli negotiators to reach a final settlement.
Regarding the conflict in Syria, the statement merely expressed the hope that "our brothers in Syria are able to reach a political solution" that preserves the country's unity, territorial integrity and independence, in accordance with the Geneva Declaration of 2012 and the relevant resolutions of the UN security Council.
league has not, however, adopt an explicit position on the fate of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in order to avoid conflict between the Arab states that require his immediate departure and those who have adopted a softer line.
"Arabs are deep divisions over Syria," Nafaa said. "All Arab states not insist on the departure of Assad; some see it as less harmful than other forces that are active in Syria, as the Nusra Front and Daesh. "
" This summit will not change the Russian and US positions on Syria, "he added." It will change those Arab states that have direct relationships with leading players in Syria. "
on Iraq, meanwhile, said the league also the need to preserve the unity and territorial integrity of the country against terrorist groups and the middle of the continuous release of Iraqi territory the terrorist group Daesh.
the statement makes no reference to the Turkish military presence in northern Iraq, regarded as a controversial issue after a number of Arab countries refused to issue a resolution condemning Turkish military deployment in the country.
" While some countries, particularly Iraq, sought to pass a draft resolution condemning the military presence of Turkey in Iraq, the question was excluded from the final communiqué, "Nafaa said.
This, at- he added, "was due to relatively low political presence in Iraq at the top and the success of the Turkish foreign policy."
on Iran and the perceived growing Iranian influence in the region, however, the league was explicit, reiterating its rejection of "Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries in particular which could threaten security Arab national. "
But according Nafaa, "even this statement was not as strong as states like Saudi Arabia and other countries would have liked, because some Arab states, such as Iraq and Lebanon, differ the Saudi position in this regard. "
completely omitted the summit of Nouakchott to mention an earlier proposal to establish a joint Arab force, an idea first floated last year by Egyptian President Abdel -Fattah al-Sisi.
According Nafaa, this was due to "the continued lack of an agreement between the Arab states as to who exactly would finance and manage the proposed force and power allocated to it."
again, he said, it is still difficult to date any enemy force proposed aims to protect the region from Arab.
the summit was one of the least attended in the history of the league, with only eight Arab heads of state. 14 failed appear for various reasons, not all of which are made public
The event was attended by Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir; Yemeni President Abd Hadi Mansour Rabbuh; President of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud; Djiboutian President Ismail Omar Guelleh; President of Comoros Iklil Zanin; Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al Sabah.
He was also one of the Arab League summits never short in duration, observers noted, lasting only six; Arab League summits are usually held over two days
