9 min - Sovereignty on Paper, Leverage in PracticeAbdulaziz Alkhamis examines how a Houthi strike on Riyadh airport, Sudan's Islamist-captured SAF, a structurally broken Iraqi dinar, and Egypt's expanding Horn of Africa coalition reveal the same underlying logic: declared sovereignty is only as real as the power behind it. A realist brief for October 10, 2026.

8 min - Sovereignty on Paper: Saudi Missiles, Sudan's Alignment, Baghdad's Militia Arithmetic, and Cairo's Counter-Ethiopia BlocOn the third anniversary of October 7, the region's fault lines sharpen: Saudi Arabia absorbs Houthi strikes while drawing Turkey and Pakistan into its defence perimeter; Sudan's SAF consolidates a diplomatic bloc against the RSF's external backers; Iraq's new prime minister confronts the militia question head-on after US withdrawal; and Egypt leverages the El Alamein summit to anchor a counter-Ethiopia regional order.

9 min - Sovereignty on Paper: Saudi Escalation, Sudan's Southern Front, Baghdad's Militia Reckoning, and Cairo's Nile GambitWith the US coalition out of Iraq, Houthi drones reaching Saudi airports, and Egypt expelling Ethiopian diplomats over the GERD, this episode argues that formal sovereignty announcements mean little when the instruments of state coercion remain contested. Abdulaziz Alkhamis examines four Arab capitals where the gap between declared authority and actual control is the defining political fact of this week.
