According to leading news agency, Daily Pakistan, it has been revealed that General (R) Raheel Sharif has accepted to take command over an Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism (IMAFT). However, the authority has been accepted upon certain terms.
With his remarkable counter strikes and undying war against terrorism, Gen (R) Raheel Sharif has undoubtedly gained immense popularity, worldwide. His efforts have taken the country to its lowest level of terrorism since 2006 with an overall decline of 70% in terrorist attacks under his tenure.
According to sources of Daily Pakistan, former COAS has showed his readiness towards the charge of the 39-nation military alliance, IMAFT. However, he kept the condition that he will also be empowered to play the role of an arbitrator between the belligerent groups in the Middle East. He has clearly refused to take charge of a force that fights only for a single country.
On the other hand, Iran has assured that it would accept Pakistan’s role as a mediator in the Yemen crisis if the general takes command of IMAFT with an authority of arbitrator.
With further news revealed, the general had expressed his willingness for the arbitration during his meeting with Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz, whereas the Turkish leadership has also been informed of the establishment in this regard.
The official proposal was initially presented to Gen Raheel Sharif by Saudi Arabia after which similar requests were put forward by Iran. Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism (IMAFT), founded on December 15, 2015, is based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The foundation was initially laid with the military alliance of 34 nations and by March 2016 they rose to 39 nations.
The purpose behind this military alliance of Muslim countries in the world is to counter ISIL and other anti-terrorist activities across the Middle East and other countries.
The members of this Muslim military alliance include; Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Turkey, Bahrain, Bangladesh, UAE, Libya, Malaysia, Egypt and Jordan.
