Arab, south sudan just became newest sovereign state
Don’t really work well together, they fight amongst themselves
Been doing a lot more very recently
o
The Arab League decided to back U.S. and NATO in invading
Libya….why?? Isn’t Libya mostly Arab?
Yes, but Gaddafi recanted his arabness and pulled Libya out of
Arab League couple of times during his 40 years, insulted Arab
leaders/league
Turned Libya to Africa, and made Libya into leader of African
Union. His passion and his money that got newly refined African
Union underway – the modern version
Arab League just renounced Syrian leader Bashir and said NO! (Syrian is mostly Arab
too, but it hasn’t been a Team Arab Player – Syria and Bashir have been buddies with
Team Persia --- Iran)
New Found energy, more untied than ever before
Arab league might rejuvenate and that’s a good thing, but
Natural Leaders – classically and today: - big countries, big populations
Egypt – 70, 80, 90 million people
Saudi Arabia – 30, 40, 50 million people
Gulf States
Also don’t like Iran
