A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

Saudi Arabia Extends Alcohol Sales to Higher-Earning Residents

Saudi Arabia has taken further steps to relax rules around the sale of alcohol by allowing non-Muslim foreign residents with monthly earnings of 50,000 riyals ($13,300) or more to make purchases, according to people familiar with the matter.

Residents must prove their income by showing a salary certificate to gain entry to the country’s only liquor outlet, located in Riyadh, said the people, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. The store opened last year for sales to foreign diplomats and recently extended access to non-Muslims with so-called premium residency status.
<what is that?

Customers at the Riyadh outlet can make purchases under a monthly point-based allowance system, the people said. New liquor stores are also being built in two cities elsewhere in the country, Bloomberg has previously reported.

Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

>Parts of the new strategy are “comprehensible, some of it is understandable, and some of it is unacceptable to us from a European perspective,” Merz told reporters Tuesday during a visit to Mainz, which is about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the US air base at Ramstein.

<“It confirms my assessment that we in Europe, and therefore also in Germany, must become much more independent from the US in terms of security policy,” he added, saying that “America First” is legitimate, but “America Alone” cannot be in US interest.

<“You also need partners in the world, and one of those partners can be Europe,” Merz said. “If you can’t deal with Europe, then at least make Germany your partner. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Danish Intelligence: USA is Already a Security Threat

​<The Danish intelligence service has classified the United States as a security threat for the first time, noting that its unpredictability even toward its allies must be taken into account in future scenarios.

​<The Danish Defence Intelligence Service assessed the matter in its annual intelligence review published today.

​<Furthermore, the report assesses that the United States is now using its economic and technological strength as an instrument of power, even against its allies and partners.

<The story has been reported by the Danish media outlet Politiken and the news agency Bloomberg, among others.

>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"

This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

Is the just be normal thread about this?

>>2575163
Wait.. do you mean they do not need to work? At some point in life, I though everyone question labor and why so long, etc. If someone told me the work day could be 4 h/day, I would be happy. But just reading Marx or Lenin.. German ideology; Engels - The origin of family, money, .. that is just interesting. But imperialism… no. Not just that, it will not help them to organize for less work hours or anything.

I get the feeling that a lot of the screeching about an imminent invasion by Russia is a lot of the smaller EU/NATO states getting ready take the baton from Ukraine as the "frontlines of democracy" and therefore the givas, while naturally avoiding provoking Russia and left praying Article 5 is printed on better toilet paper than Ukraine's security guarantees were.

Very likely, but I think by then Ukraine will have gone through some internal troubles and Zelensky removed. Therefore they can just dismiss very obviously Banderite terrorist attacks as infact ackshually Russian proxies and respond as they do to "Russian" drones striking Poland.

Had the displeasure of hearing Musk today. Man is barely conscious, incoherent, can't string more than 2 words together, really struggles to speak at all anymore. He must be on so much ket I have no clue how he isn't dead.
In any case, he was seething about immigrants being elected political officials in the US, apparently he's too stupid to realise the fact he's an immigrant and a politician too, only he's an unelected one.
Seems more likely he's just angry about the colour of their skin.

Recent news:
STG sets up roadblocks on the roads leading to Suwayda, pursuant to the ceasefire agreement.
Remaining tribals in Suwayda governorate launch a last-ditch attack on Suwayda city.
Tribals enter some of the city's northwest areas. They suffer heavy casualties and retreat from the city on the same day.
Straggler tribals launch a few attacks on Druze villages here and there, nothing significant.
Overall ceasefire holds up after that. STG prevents further entry of tribals and their numbers keep dwindling.
STG releases their report on the massacres of Alawites in March of this year. They say that they aren't directly responsible.
Saudi announces they will buy a bunch of property in Syria.
Israeli and Syrian officials meet in Paris. A second meeting in Baku was cancelled.
Accusations that the STG is doing a soft siege on Suwayda governorate and worsening the humanitarian situation.
Turkey/SNA starts threatening the SDF and launches a few attacks against them in Deir Hafer and Tishreen dam.

Don't think these HTS guys like Israel (see 1:41) and there's pride in defying the Jews and Persians. At the same time, they want to see results so they can eat. The U.S. House of Representatives just voted to repeal the Caesar sanctions (which the Israel lobby was working to keep). Islam also includes patience as a virtue which in military strategy can mean restraint while building up your forces. Think protracted struggle from Mao and you get the idea.

Eh, do you think there is a conceivable political solution with Israel? Because I can't conceive of one. What do I know. But the little I do know about the Middle East is that was seems like the direction things are moving can flip to their 180-degree opposite in a flash. Even if the newly-forming pattern holds for years, at some point something is going to change. I also know that some problems can be solved by fighting. I think there's a lot of cope going around on the losing side that backed up Assad.

What even is the point of this shit anymore? The great turdworld cope that China, Russia, India and maybe Turkey and Brazil is gonna team up into an anti imperialist avenger and destroy the Epsteinian McWorld AmeriKKKa imposed upon us has been shattered to pieces, none of these guys do anything to defend Iran when the Iranians were bombed by the "Israelis", Russia is playing footsy with the US and India and China are more focused with exploiting their neighbours than confronting blatant American overreach under Trump. Any response that does exist is mostly scattered and reactive (i.e buying gold to protect from Fed interest rates) rather than proactive (i.e doing currency swaps and bond liquidation to harm the greenback).
In absence of any hope in changing the global world order i have seen third worldists now retreating and openly defending national bourgeoisie in the name of anti imperialism (such as Korotaev defending Ukrainian oligarchs as barrier against US investments, etc) and it's like …. We are against imperialism not just because we hate the US. We are against the US because American imperialism encouraged corruption and extractivism in the Third World, while American backed Bourgeois organizations crack down on labour rights world wide. Playing defense for corrupt and extractivist oligarchs in the third world in the name of building productive forces, that just undercut the reason why so many people became anti imperialist in the first place.
And as global crises started to ramp up, with metabolic drift and climate change ruining shit, the old rhetorics of building productive capability and bourgeois nationalism is just not gonna be relevant for long. This whole thing is a dead end politically.

MODERN DAY BRUTALITY ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE

The policy (the so-called 'War on Drugs') is built on a gross deception: that drugs other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine comprise a unique group of substances that present an unacceptable risk to health and welfare. This is wholly incorrect: alcohol and tobacco are the most dangerous drugs in existence. The criminalisation of associations with substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine creates a criminal underclass that is the resource for the strategy.

The so-called 'War on Drugs' has absolutely nothing to do with drug use or drug-related harm of any kind: it is purely a worldwide economic system based on intentionally-created crime.

It results in mass imprisonment, fining, asset forfeiture, execution, wars, state-sanctioned murder and endemic violence etc. It provides the pretext under which huge sums of public money are allocated and sustains a massively profitable black market in substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine.

The US oppresses its own citizens under the name of the policy and this oppression extends worldwide, with governments forced to oppress their own citizenry or be chastised and threatened by the US through the United Nations.

Those who profit from or otherwise wish for the so-called 'War on Drugs' to continue constantly proffer the falsehood that the strategy is related to substance use and the prevention and minimisation of drug-related harm. Those who profit from the oppression of others include but are not limited to enforcement organisations and the prison industry, the legal and welfare systems, academia and a plethora of other industries.

The phenomenon continues due to the power and ruthlessness of the US and its ability to generate economic activity. Its true motives are kept hidden via the mass complicity of governments, the press and those who profit from it.
