Lakhdar Brahimi: “Conflicts In Near And Middle East Persist, Because Arab countries Don’t Want To Work Together”

If most of the world’s conflicts are concentrated in the Near and Middle East regions, it is because the member countries of the Arab League “do not want to work together,” said former Algerian diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi.
Speaking on Thursday on the morning program, “the Guest of the Newsroom” of French-speaking Channel 3 of the Algerian Radio, the former UN Special Representative also explained that the trigger for the bitter conflict in Syria was the so-called Arab Spring, “a real popular movement, which was exploited and militarized by countries in the region”.
Commenting on the ongoing war in Yemen, a country now facing a dire humanitarian crisis, the former Deputy Secretary-General of the Arab League explained that it was a conflict involving several regional actors.
