The announcement comes after a coali- tion raid on a rebel post in Khokha, south of the main Red Sea port of Hodeida, killed 15 rebels and wounded 20 on Wednesday, according to military sources allied with the coalition. A second Emirati soldier died of a heart attack, WAM said. Some 80 Emirati soldiers have been killed since the coalition launched its intervention in support of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi in March 2015. More than 7,400 people have been killed since the intervention began, including around 1,400 children, according to World Health Organization figures. Despite the coalition’s superior firepower, the rebels and their allies still control the capital Sanaa and much of the northern and central highlands as well as the port of Hodeida. Meanwhile, His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al- Jaber Al-Sabah sent a cable of condolences yesterday to the President of United Arab of Emirates (UAE) Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.

  • 11. By. Hønier A. Ja&.- INTRODUCTION the Afro-Asian Peoples
    sion sion -SOlidanty Con%,rente '11. by. Hønier A. Ja&.- INTRODUCTION The Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Conference, held in Cairo, Egypt, beginning December 26, 1957, does not rate the worldwide attention rightfully given to the Asian-African Conference held in Bandung, Indonesia, beginning April 18, 1955. Yet symbolically Cairo is important as a marriage of convenience between President Nasser of Egypt and Asian communism. It could also be the beginning of communist penetration south of the Sahara. The road from Bandung to Cairo was built in 32 months. Cairo, if not Bandung, could conceivably be on Lenin's road from Moscow to Paris, London and Washington. In this light, the origins of the Cairo Conference ought carefully to be studied as well as reports of what actually occurred during the Conference. Finally, a contemplation of the political significance of Cairo is fascinating, if frightening to some. "LONG LIVE AFRO-ASIAN SOLIDARITY" The Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Conference opened on December 26th with a plenary session in the auditorium of the University of Cairo. As delegates arrived, the streets were lined with school children marching in uniform and displaying banners, olive branches, cardboard peace doves, and portraits of President Nasser. Inside the auditorium was a huge banner with the conference insignia showing a dark and a light hand clasped around a torch, with a backdrop of the continents of Africa, Asia, and apparently the European portion of the U.S.S.R. Thirty-five flags were also displayed, although some delegations represented colonies which do not yet have their own flags.

The $110 bil- lion deal for Saudi purchases of US defense equipment and services came at the start of an eight-day foreign tour that will also take Trump to Jerusalem, the Vatican and meetings with leaders in Europe. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said deals worth in excess of $380 billion were signed during Trump’s visit. “That was a tremendous day. Tremendous investments in the United States,” Trump said at talks with Saudi King Salman. “Hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United States and jobs, jobs, jobs.” White House spokesman Sean Spicer hailed the defense agreement as the “largest single arms deal in US history”. “This package of defense equipment and services support the long-term security of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region in the face of Iranian threats,” a White House official said.
