Commander of ‘Muslim NATO’ coalition gives first public address in Bahrain
FacebookTwitterGoogle+RedditShare via EmailPrint
MANAMA, BAHRAIN – General Raheel Sharif spoke publicly on Monday for the first time since he was appointed as commander of the Muslim military coalition against terrorism. In a speech at the Middle East Military Alliances and Coalitions conference in Bahrain, Sharif outlined the goals of the Islamic Military Counter-Terrorism Coalition.
Saudi Arabia’s defense chief Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud announced the alliance in December 2015, and Sharif was named as its military commander in January. His speech suggests he plans to draw on his experience as the chief of staff of Pakistan’s army, where he oversaw a massive crackdown on terrorism called Operation Zarb-e-Azb.
Forty-one Muslim-majority nations have joined the coalition, which has been billed as the Muslim NATO, and Sharif said it is actively looking to expand and work with existing international organizations.

Speaking in Manama, Sharif said the coalition will focus on four key areas, including military, ideology and communications, as well as a coordinated effort to disrupt terror financing.
“There are facilitators, financiers, abetters, sympathizers, and sleeper-cells. They work for each other, and the foot soldiers are mostly mercenaries and money plays a major role,” he said.
Sharif urged a coordinated and strategic response, adding that terrorists exploit acrimony between nations. While the coalition intends to build law enforcement and intelligence capabilities and share best practices, he said, the international community must step in.
“The international community, and especially the Muslim world,
“The international community will eventually have to help resolve regional conflicts and disputes,” he said, especially the Israel-Palestine conflict, the treatment of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, and the situation in Kashmir.

Raheel Sharif finds honour in heading Saudi-led military alliance

Former Chief of Army Staff General (r) Raheel Sharif has said that it was an honour for him to be part of Saudi-led Islamic Military Alliance as a commander.
Addressing the Middle East Military Alliance and Coordination Conference, General (r) Raheel Sharif on Tuesday said that Muslim countries were facing many challenges, including organized terrorism that poses great threat to the future of the region.
He added that the region was also facing economic and social challenges, which can be tackled through a coordinated approach.
He called for joint efforts to weed out the menace of terrorism.
Pakistan rendered great sacrifices and played an important role to restore world peace, he added.
The former army chief’s Saudi assignment to lead Islamic Military Alliance has been a matter of controversy in the media. This coalition force was formed by Saudi Arabia’s Defence Minister Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud on December 15, 2015.
The controversies were put to rest after Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that Pakistan government has formally permitted ex-army chief Gen Raheel Sharif to lead the Saudi military alliance to fight militancy.
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Tunisia, Sudan, Malaysia, Egypt, Yemen and other Muslim countries are said to be part of the coalition.
The coalition would tackle “the Islamic world’s problem with terrorism and will be a partner in the worldwide fight against this scourge” Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud at a press conference in Riyadh in 2015.
