The Arab League from Inshas to Algeria. Will Syria return to the big house? Written by Mustafa Kamal Al-Ami

The 31st Arab Summit in Algeria was held on November 1, 2022, in the presence of 16 kings and heads of state, including Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, with the Emir of Qatar and other Arab leaders
And the absence of the kings of Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan, the Sultanate of Oman, the Emir of Kuwait and the President of the UAE
In the opening session, Tunisian President Qais bin Said handed over the presidency of the summit from Tunisia to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune
To preside over the life and death summit to decide the fate of the Arabs
And saving what can be salvaged from what remains of the ruins of the Arab and Islamic world, which is facing an all-out undeclared war from the West, America and Israel.
And the repercussions of the Russian-Ukrainian war on security and the global economy, which is suffering from a food crisis and the ignition of gas and oil prices
The outbreak of violent popular demonstrations and protests, which threatens the thrones of regimes in the world

Based on data and records of the League of Arab States
Eight conferences of the Arab Summit were held in the cities of Egypt (Cairo, Alexandria and Sharm El-Sheikh).
Out of 35 regular and emergency summits held since the establishment of the Arab League
It started at the Inshas Summit in 1946 in northern Egypt
Its founding countries were Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Yemen and Syria, whose membership was suspended in 2011 after the civil war there, as is the case with Libya as well.
Then Morocco came second in the ranking with six conferences in its different cities of Marrakech, Rabat and Casablanca
Then the Republic of Algeria, which held three Arab summits there
 And the most recent is the current fourth summit
And three summits were also held in Baghdad, including the one in 1978 (the boycott of Egypt because of the peace treaty with Israel)
 What was known as the steadfastness and confrontation front led by Saddam Hussein
Another summit was held in Baghdad in 2012 after the US occupation of Iraq in 2003
Then two summits were held in Beirut, Lebanon, Doha in Qatar, Khartoum in Sudan, Tunis, and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia
Then a single summit was held in Damascus, Syria, and in Kuwait after its liberation
And the 2010 summit in the Libyan city of Sirte before the fall of the Muammar Gaddafi regime in 2011
Then the 2016 Nouakchott summit in Mauritania for the first time
For the summit to have been held in 12 out of 22 Arab League member states
This means that half of the member states will never be assigned and organized for the summit
 These countries are the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Djibouti, Comoros, Somalia, occupied Palestine and Yemen
One of the founding countries of the League, which faces the danger of the collapse of the Yemeni state and its religious and political division
 Libya also collapsed after the NATO intervention in the war against the regime of Colonel Gaddafi at the official request of the Arab League and its Secretary at the time, Amr Moussa, to the UN Security Council in an unprecedented historical precedent.
The university headquarters were moved from Cairo to Tunis after the 1978 Baghdad Summit
 The Secretary-General was the Algerian Zouiten, and then the Tunisian Chadli Kilibi
Until the return of the university to its headquarters in the heart of Cairo in 1990 after the war to liberate Kuwait from the Iraqi invasion with the help of the international coalition in which Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states participated
With this summit, the Arabs have held since 1946, since the date of the establishment of the Arab League, and until now, thirty ordinary Arab summits.
And nine emergency Arab summits, with different names and objectives, succeeded only in the 1973 Algeria summit in mobilizing the Arabs and the oil weapon and their victory in the glorious October 6 war that liberated the Egyptian Sinai.
While the Syrian Golan Heights and Palestine have been under occupation until now
Despite the presentation of the Saudi peace initiative (land for peace) since 2002
It was adopted by the Arab League and then rejected by the US-backed Israel from then to date!!!
After reading the current scene to assess the situation and results to show the extent of the success of the Arab League or not in achieving its goals according to its official charter
From gathering the Arabs in Africa and Asia and protecting their interests and existence, and even their Arabic language
We can honestly say that the university, with all its cultural, parliamentary and financial institutions, its specialized organizations, its permanent budget weakness, and its eight trustees, the first of them being the founder Abd al-Rahman Azzam, Abd al-Khaleq Hassouna, Mahmoud Riad and al-Shazli al-Qalibi
 Then Ismat Abdel Majid, Amr Moussa and Nabil El Araby, all the way to the eighth secretary, Ahmed Aboul Gheit
 This "university" has completely failed to achieve any significant success, whether at the level of peoples or Arab countries, which were torn to pieces and mini-states of armed militias after the loss of the land and the question of Palestine and the collapse of the states of Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria
To our current bitter reality of temptation, intrigue, civil wars, religious and political sectarianism
It is the last chance for the Arabs to prove that they are not just an air bubble, a sound phenomenon, or an April Fool's Day
And all the months of the year throughout history
For comparison only, the Gulf Cooperation Council held 66 summits in all six countries of the Council (Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE).
Of these, 40 are ordinary summits, and the rest are emergency or consultative with Gulf-American summits in only 43 years since its founding in 1981.
While the summits of the Arab League held half of this number of conferences during 75 years, twice the time period
This confirms the absence of seriousness and the will to gather and agree on the governments of Arab countries

The great Arab world faces the biggest challenge in its history after independence from Western colonialism
22 Arab countries are fighting each other in a situation similar to the warring emirates of Andalusia before their fall
 We are the first nation in history to defeat “itself” and do service to its enemies, who are so excited about it
The 2016 Mauritania Summit was after the Kingdom of Morocco refused to host it for its own reasons
The Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh witnessed the holding of the twenty-sixth ordinary Arab summit in 2015, headed by Egypt and the popularly elected President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi
In conclusion, we say that the main objective of establishing this "divided" university was never achieved, whether by preserving peoples or the borders of nations or liberating Palestine
or even the Preserving the Arabic language and culture
After the university reached the age of sixty in 2018
We must refer it to pension and retirement
To make this huge building in the heart of Cairo even bigger
And see the Arab graves
After burying the dreams of Arabs in the place of the old British barracks and the neo-colonialism of Israel and America
