MIDDLE EAST: The Last of the Kingdoms

I am not the only one who finds it strange that an Arab Muslim country would find itself under a sever embargo during the blessed month of Ramadan. Even more strange is the decisiveness of the other GCC countries in uniting against Qatar. I would have thought such a move would be warranted against traditional enemies in the Middle East. All in all, it’s been an eventful day, especially when Iran is offering to mediate amongst the Sunni Brothers.       -   Hamza M.O Egal The world is embarking on a new era of warfare. A decade ago, cyber-attacks were sci-fi movie plots. In the last few years it’s been a reality and a constant topic in the mainstream media. From the American elections and how Russia allegedly installed an agent, code name (Ivanka) in the most powerful office in the world. To the constant stream of Wikileaks cables that changed the narratives of today’s global politics. 2017 has not disappointed from, coups, fake news and political upheaval. This mornin
