Arab countries have agreed to establish common regional armed forces for joint counter measures to deal with threats to security. This was announced in a prepared draft of the final communiqué of the Arab League summit. The decision will be taken in Sharm el-Sheikh at the end of the summit.
In addition, according to the text of the joint statement, the Arabs will require the Shiite Houthi rebels, who captured Yemen’s capital Sana'a, to leave the city and lay down their arms. The Arab countries supported a military operation to "restore the rule of law" and "Arab national security, which was started by the Arabian monarchies, led by Saudi Arabia," Tass reports.
