Fight against IS

US to rally ME, Arab allies

AFP, Baghdad
Washington kickstarted its efforts to form a broad coalition against jihadists in Iraq and Syria yesterday with Secretary of State John Kerry headed to the region to rally US allies.
Regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia is to host talks on Thursday between Kerry and ministers from 10 Arab states plus Turkey on joint action against the Islamic State group.
Kerry's arrival in the region on Wednesday will coincide with a keenly awaited speech by President Barack Obama in which he has promised to set out a strategy to defeat the jihadists who have unleashed a wave of atrocities that have shocked the world.
Washington has been buoyed in its diplomatic offensive by the formation of a new government in Baghdad that it hopes will be more acceptable to both Iraq's disenchanted Sunni Arab minority and Sunni governments around the region.
The Iraqi army’s campaign to claw back the territory it lost in the Sunni Arab heartland north and west of Baghdad in June - and US efforts to engage Sunni governments in the fightback - have been complicated by the sectarian politics of the region.
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab states had deeply strained relations with the
Shia-led government in I Baghdad, with each side I blaming the other for the advance of the jihadists.
But after months of wrangling, Iraq's new Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi finally formed a government on Monday that Washington said had "the potential to unite all of Iraq's diverse communities."
Kerry described the new government as a "major milestone’ in efforts to woo the Sunni Arab minority away from IS after the divisive rule of Abadi's predecessor Nuri al-Maliki.
The talks in the Saudi port city of Jeddah tomorrow will be attended by the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and the six Gulf Arab states as well as Iraq.
Kerry has pledged to build "the broadest possible coalition of partners around the globe to confront, degrade and ultimately defeat (IS)."
"Almost every single country has a role to play in eliminating this (IS) threat and the evil that it represents, “ the US top diplomat said.
Notable by their absence from Jeddah will be the Syrian government - facing a three and a half year uprising backed by many of the participants - and its regional ally Iran.
Obama has so far held back from authorising strikes on IS in Syria but he has promised a comprehensive strategy against the group on both sides of the border in the policy speech he is to deliver today.
Shia Iran - alongside the United States, the key outside power in Iraq - said it hoped the change of government in Baghdad would help turn the tide against IS.
