The Middle East’s New Firestorm: The Houthis, Saudi Arabia and the First Test of the Makkah Pact

The Houthis warn Pakistan and Türkiye off Yemen. The pact's real test is containing the war, not widening it.

The pact's most important test may not be whether Pakistan and Türkiye enter the Yemen war, but whether the three countries can strengthen Saudi Arabia's defence while preventing the conflict from widening.

From the opening:
“The Middle East is once again facing a dangerous escalation. The conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi movement has intensified, while the newly signed Makkah Joint Defence Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye is facing its first major test.”

By Hafijul Rahman, Freelance journalist, Bangladesh

KAZAKHSTAN’S AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY REVOLUTION

Astana ties cheap finance to local assembly, drawing John Deere and Chinese and Turkish rivals into its industrial plan.

How Astana Is Turning Foreign Competition into Industrial Power

From the opening:
“For years, Kazakhstan was primarily known as an exporter of raw materials and agricultural commodities. That picture is changing. The country is now attempting to move up the value chain by attracting foreign manufacturers, localising production and using state-backed financing to modernise its agricultural sector.”

By Jean-Davy Niezgoda, International business and export specialist, France
