Head of Egyptian intelligence seeks regional coordination against Turkey's plans

Feb 19 2020

Egyptian General Intelligence Agency (GIS) chief Abbas Kamel

The chief of the Egyptian General Intelligence Agency (GIS), Abbas Kamel, secretly visited several countries in the Middle East and North Africa in recent days. The subject on the agenda was Turkey.

Kamel’s meetings were aimed at establishing an intelligence alliance between Egypt and other nations and to pave the way for closer military cooperation that would counter Turkey's increasingly aggressive designs in the region, unidentified sources in Paris told The Arab Weekly.

Kamel is said to have described Turkey’s plans as "the most dangerous for the Arab region since the accession to power of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan".

Kamel presented highly sensitive information on Turkish activities, including operations in Libya and Syria and developments regarding Turkey’s military presence in Qatar and the Horn of Africa, the sources said.

The top Egyptian intelligence official is said to have discussed sensitive information about Turkey's strategy in the Middle East and Africa and its new plans for intelligence and military deployment.

Among Turkey's immediate goals, he said, was to cultivate more local proxies and human intelligence assets to expand Ankara's influence and its leverage in future negotiations with the Europeans, Russians and Americans.

Kamel is reported to have succeeded in achieving one main goal of his tour: clinching an agreement on creating a high-level "joint operations room" that would include high-level representatives of the security services of countries interested in combating the Turkish plan.

The sources did not disclose the names of the countries visited by Kamel but said that many had expressed similar suspicions about Ankara's tactics and their willingness to contribute to any coordinated effort that would prevent any further Turkish military build-up in the region.

Kamel was appointed head of the GIS in 2018. He previously served as President Abdelfattah El-Sisi's chief-of staff.

I laughed at this, Turkey's plan is dangerous for the Arabs, however, Israeli bombing runs on Arab countries and violations aren't and it doesn't require the seriousness to come up with a plan to counter them.

It's always said, may God never take anyone's sense away.

How useless have the Arabs become

U.S.A is dangerous,, no
Russia is dangerous,, no
Israel is dangerous,, no

Yeah let's try to counter Turkey, we wouldn't want anyone in the future thinking the Arabs of this time were anything less than retards

Oh Egypt how far you have fallen..

From this:

to this:

On a more serious note, it's unfortunate how Muslim nations are bickering amongst themselves, which is only making the zionist state more dominant in the region... OIC has failed miserably for the Palestine and Kashmir cause, its being used as a political tool by a select few, an alternative block needs form now more than ever.. for like minded muslim nations.

It does not help that both Iran and Turkey are just as hegemonic as the Arabs an I noticed a trend of blaming Arabs for Muslim disunity but its more complex all of them are the cause of this mess

That "Sultan" wannabe Erdogan had to destroy Syria and Libya and reorient the focus of the Mid East to Turkey and Iran while Israel secretly expands

No doubt...the complexity of the Middle East would make a political & cryptographic scientist take drugs.

As an outsider you go on what you see & hear.
You are sympathetic to a people or country , you go with gut instinct... whatever country takes your fancy coupled with the face you’re attracted to & the face you hate...
Multiply that ...throw in a myriad of local, western & eastern interests...

Sad & depressing sure..

until you come to the enlightened realisation that you should ...“f**k them”

...you carry on fixing up your own s**t so you don’t end up like them.

Been going on since time...

I admire some leaders but the problem with Pakistanis they seriously form "personality" cults over foreign leaders I guess its because Pakistan never really had leaders that shined on the international arena as much its is sad to see that way the region of the the Mid East the cradle of civilization and Islam fell on hard times due to greed of certain greed of world and regional powers

Don’t even get me started on Pakistan ‘leaders’ ...I fleetingly watch Pakistani news channels ...very very confusing with its panels of weird and ‘wonderful’ political characters...gets you thinking ..this is embarrassing... I’m not from this lot. I don’t belong here....
ooofF.....
