The heavy crackdown in Sinai is being questioned after repeated attacks by armed groups in the peninsula.
Source: Al Jazeera’s Inside Story
At least 32 soldiers have been killed and dozens more injured in the latest of a series of coordinated attacks in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
The government has blamed the banned Muslim Brotherhood for the violence. But an armed group calling itself the ‘Sinai Province’, previously known as Ansar Beit Al Maqdis, is claiming responsibility.
Despite unprecedented security measures in the region, including a controversial buffer zone along the border with Gaza, will president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi change course in Sinai? Or can his army end attacks in the area?

Mounting economic strain and battlefield losses will not necessarily make the Kremlin less dangerous. They could instead push Moscow toward a more aggressive hybrid campaign designed to test NATO’s Eastern flank, exploit allied hesitation, and fracture European resolve.

Over the past ten years, NATO has held almost as many summits as it did during the entirety of the Cold War. Are they still useful, or is it time to stop holding annual meetings?

As the EU confronts profound challenges, several leaders have called for fundamental reform to the union’s model—but only modest, superficial changes have resulted. What if Europe really could be reimagined from zero today: What should such a redesigned European order look like?

As Russia's war on Ukraine drags on, NATO is expanding its footprint in the Black Sea. Turkey, Romania, and Bulgaria are upgrading their fleets and deepening trilateral cooperation.
