Ali calls for cooperation in countering terrorist threat
Director of the Middle East Center for Studies in Paris,
Abdelrahim Ali, said Wednesday that the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and
Syria sent terror waves across the world by controlling the northwestern Iraqi
city of Mosul.
He added at a conference in French capital Paris on similarities
and differences between the yellow vest protests in France and the Arab Spring
protests in the Arab world that the world would have been in for a catastrophe
if terrorist organizations had succeeded in controlling countries like Iraq,
Syria, and Jordan.
These movements would not have tolerated the presence of anybody
who is different from them, Ali said.
He noted that Egypt had tried to rescue the rest of the world from
real destruction.
He added that Egypt had paid dearly for standing against the
Islamist threat.
Ali called for the presence of international intelligence and
security cooperation so that the world can counter the current terrorist
threat.
We will never be able to overcome this threat without this
cooperation, Ali said.
