Saudi Arabia Tuesday announced military alliance of 34 Muslim nations to fight to fight terrorism while Algeria was not part of it. This raised questions about the reasons behind the rejection of a joint Arab force project proposed by the Arab League.
According to an official release, this alliance came following the provisions of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to counter terrorism in all its forms and aspects.
Nations involved in the alliance are: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Pakistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Turkey, Chad, Togo, Tunisia, Djibouti, Senegal, Sudan, Somalia, Gabon, Guinea, Palestine, The Comoros, Sierra Leone, Qatar, Côte d’Ivoire, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Maldives, Mali, Malaysia, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Yemen.
