AFP - 28 March 20 15 - Arab leaders met in Egypt Saturday for a summit overshadowed by the Saudi-led offensive against Yemeni rebels to discuss a joint-Arab military force to confront 'terrorist groups'.
Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi hailed the intervention aimed at bringing him back to power, calling it a 'practical application' of the kind of joint military action touted by Egypt’s leader.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who was elected after toppling his Islamist predecessor with Gulf Arab backing, has promoted his powerful army as a cornerstone of a joint Arab force.
