Weekly Wire – February 6

POMED’s Weekly Wire for February 6 is now available.

In this week’s edition, Egyptian military aid came under intense scrutiny as NGO workers continue to stay in the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, while a soccer match ended in large-scale violence. I.A.E.A. inspectors visited Iran, and while they did not tour any nuclear facilities, coordinated a return trip with the Iranian government. Russia rejected a draft resolution presented to the U.N. Security Council aimed to end violence in Syria. Kuwait held parliamentary elections resulting in large gains for opposition parties. Look for next week to be dominated by continued political crises in Iraq and Egypt, as Bahrainis prepare for the anniversary of protests.
