The Arab region is going through a semi-nihilistic state at all levels, and the common denominator in it is the inability to carry out any collective Arab action that leads to addressing crises that burden the Arabs, squander their wealth and take their lives on a stage in which their participation is limited to the role of the victim.
Crises and problems pile up on the heads of Arabs in the absence of any real and honest initiative to address a crisis or remove the obstacles that hinder Arab cooperation mechanisms that have remained ink on paper.
A simple census of the problems, disputes and crises that the Arabs are currently suffering from shows that the Arab countries have not found a solution to any of these issues for nearly seven decades.
The Mauritanian-Moroccan disputes are still under the ashes and the Algerian-Moroccan disputes as well. The Libyan crisis interacts and is manipulated by Western countries. The Sudanese-Egyptian disputes are subject to cooling. The Gulf crises, especially the Yemeni ones, make all this region captive to the regional and external will. The situation of crises in Syria and Iraq as a result of external aggression is not the best and most dangerous of all. The Palestinian cause, for which all Arab countries spent many resources, is almost losing its luster for the sake of the Western Zionist project.
This is the tip of the iceberg of Arab problems and crises that interact and are exploited by other countries for the provisions of their control over the decision and the Arab role. Perhaps the question here is what is the solution and have the Arabs lost the ability to repeat the previous luminous attempts?
There is no doubt that there are many solutions that lead to the Arabs regaining even a limited part of their lost role or resources, and the stage the world is going through presents an opportunity for that by employing their possession of two-thirds of the world’s oil and gas reserves away from empty and defeatist talk under the slogan of not subjecting energy sources to political disputes.
Overnight, European countries subjected Russian gas and oil to serve their indirect conflict under the umbrella of NATO with the Russian Federation at the expense of their peoples who were affected by this trend. Anti-Russian peoples of Western countries.
Yesterday, the Russian Federation vetoed a US-Albanian draft resolution in the Security Council condemning the accession of the Donbas Republics and the Kherson and Zaporozhye provinces to it. India, China, Brazil and Gabon abstained from voting in favor of the American resolution, not only because it does not comply with the Charter of the United Nations or take a position of neutrality, but out of concern On the interests of their people, and based on the reading of these countries for the future, which confirms that the world is facing a new stage in which the American hegemony will disappear in favor of a multipolar world that has begun to form from the womb of the conflict between the major powers in Ukraine and others.
The Arab countries have not yet shown any initiative to take advantage of the situation the world is going through and are satisfied with the role of a blind spectator despite the sudden visits of Western officials to some countries in the region to pressure them in order to compensate for the shortage in their energy carriers as a result of the sanctions they imposed on the Russian Federation.
All the major countries fighting today over the cake of managing and acquiring the world are in need of Arab energy resources. Arab governments are supposed to manage this file with tact and rationality, accurately assess the directions of the battle and build its decisions on this basis. Any government that fails to manage the potential of its people with this understanding wastes a fundamental opportunity to restore its decision And thus the Arab decision sources for decades.
It is a grave mistake that many Arab countries are satisfied with watching what is happening in the world. This does not mean that they are involved in global wars and conflicts, but it is important that they move to restore their decision and take advantage of their own capabilities to get rid of the legacy of the previous era.
The Arab countries, if they transcend the differences that were made by Western countries during the colonial era and are still feeding them today, can rise again and transcend external pressures and threats.
