  • Commentary: Can Al Jazeera Survive Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s Feud?

    Today, more than ever, opinion on Al Jazeera is starkly divided. The network’s supporters in the Middle East and the Gulf celebrate it as an outpost of free expression in a region stifled by autocratic rule. Opponents call it a mouthpiece for the Qatari government and for the forces of political Islam.

  • Saudi Aramco IPO
    Will China buy Saudi Aramco?

    The planned sale of a 5 per cent stake in the Saudi state oil company Aramco is still in limbo.

    Most of Muscat’s foreign policy trajectory relies on the 46-year leadership of Oman’s monarch, Qaboos bin Said Al Said. However, with ailing health at 76 years old and without any children of his own, the sultan has largely kept his succession plans somewhat vague. As a result, it is worth asking whether or not his successor will maintain Muscat’s regional foreign policy trajectory or steer Oman on a new course in response to new domestic and regional realities and challenges.

    The debate over the increase in civilian casualties caused by the U.S.-led coalition in the campaign against ISIS grows more contentious by the day, even as the tempo of operations has slowed following the fight for Mosul.
