- Sovereignty Without Control: Iraq, Sudan, and the States That Cannot HoldOn November 1, 2026, Abdulaziz Alkhamis examines Saudi Arabia's Houthi crisis, the Islamist capture of Sudan's army, Iraq's post-withdrawal vacuum, and Egypt's structural reform gamble. Four states, one recurring lesson: capability determines outcomes, ideology obscures them.

8 min - The Price of Weak States: Halloween 2026On October 31, 2026, Abdulaziz Alkhamis dissects four Arab theaters where state weakness invites punishment: Saudi Arabia absorbs Houthi strikes on its airports and infrastructure while Egypt's central bank delivers a shock rate hike; Sudan's SAF remains hostage to Islamist politics as the RSF reaches into the east; and Iraq's new cabinet exposes the permanent toll of militia-quota governance.

7 min - The State Holds or It Doesn't: Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iraq, EgyptHouthi missiles strike Saudi airports and oil facilities on the same day Riyadh's defense minister calls NATO. From Khartoum to Cairo, the question everywhere is the same: does the state command its own violence, or not?

8 min - The Kingdom Under Fire, and Its Neighbours Do the MathSaudi Arabia faces an escalating Houthi missile campaign that has already cancelled Davos in the Desert and driven Riyadh offices onto remote work. Egypt's parliament has voted to authorize troops for Saudi defence while Cairo's central bank meets today on whether to hold rates at nineteen percent.

7 min - The Price of Sovereignty: Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iraq, Egypt - October 28, 2026From Riyadh under Houthi missile barrage to Baghdad's militia-infested post-withdrawal landscape, today's brief maps the structural contradictions of state power across four Arab capitals. Alkhamis argues that every story this week is ultimately a story about who controls the instruments of force - and who does not.

7 min - The Price of Alignment: Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iraq and Egypt in the Arc of a Regional WarAbdulaziz Alkhamis reads the strategic logic behind Egypt's parliamentary vote to back Saudi Arabia militarily, Iraq's calculated compliance with US sanctions pressure, and the Sudanese army's campaign against RSF-held Darfur. Four states, one structural argument: survival belongs to those who pick a side and hold it.

7 min - Holy Ground, Broken Dinar, and the Islamist VetoHouthi missiles strike Mecca and Medina as Riyadh's airport partially reopens; Iraq's dinar collapses under Hormuz pressure while a new cabinet struggles to assert state authority. Sudan's SAF bombs civilian markets across Darfur and Kordofan, and Egypt's IMF growth numbers conceal a military economy that no reform program has yet touched.

9 min - Riyadh Burns, Baghdad Bends, Cairo Hedges: The Arab State Under PressureHouthi missiles are rewriting the security calculus of every Arab capital from Riyadh to Baghdad. Today's brief traces how Saudi Arabia absorbs the blows, Sudan's Islamist-led army manoeuvres for legitimacy, Iraq's new government installs a US-sanctioned militia figure as deputy prime minister, and Egypt's parliament prepares to vote on deploying troops it has already promised not to use offensively.

8 min - The Price of Exposure: Saudi Arabia Under Fire, and Four States Choosing SidesHouthi missile and drone strikes have killed twenty-two people across three Saudi airports this month, forcing Riyadh to cancel its flagship investment forum and drawing in European powers. Four Arab states - Iraq, Egypt, Sudan and Saudi Arabia itself - are each, in their own way, being forced to declare which order they serve.

8 min - Airports, Mandates, and the Price of DelayHouthi strikes on Saudi airports test the limits of MBS's Vision 2030 project and pull Egypt toward a military commitment its parliament cannot yet agree to authorize. Iraq completes a cabinet five months late, and in Sudan, the SAF's battlefield gains cannot obscure the ideological capture at its core.
