[U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs @US_SrAdvisorAF]

The Trump Administration continues to pursue regional peace through diplomatic engagements with Egypt, Eritrea, and Ethiopia. Let me be unequivocally clear: claims that we are negotiating or considering any secret deal involving Eritrea against another regional partner are categorically false. No such agreement exists, and no such arrangement is under discussion. Our diplomatic engagements have one objective: advancing lasting peace and stability throughout the Horn of Africa.

False and misleading statements, defamatory speculation, and baseless accusations concerning supposed deals or other developments are reckless, appear driven by malicious intent to distort good-faith diplomacy, and jeopardize the prospects for lasting peace.

Saudi Arabia has proposed a ‘maritime defence coalition’ involving dozens of countries to protect Red Sea trade routes from attacks by Iran's allies.

A first meeting of military representatives took place in Riyadh on Thursday, with 43 nations discussing the idea, the Saudi Defence Ministry said.

The ministry said the aim of the Saudi initiative is to ‘enhance maritime security, protect international maritime corridors, and counter threats targeting maritime navigation and global trade’

Saudi Arabia alleges a drone attack was launched from Iraq — days before Iraq’s PM is due in Riyadh.

Baghdad opened an investigation & reaffirmed ties, while an Iran-backed group rejected the claim and warned Riyadh.

As Iraqi PM arrives in Washington, questions abound on whether his anti-corruption drive will deliver

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

The new prime minister’s anti-corruption operation at best looks feeble or at worst appears aimed at settling scores rather than genuinely rooting out corruption across Iraq, argues columnist @AlOraibi. https://t.co/2MPhLwRSTl
