Threat of militias to nation-states
The article discusses the danger posed by armed militias to the stability of the nation-state in the Arab world, especially those that follow sectarian or religious agendas and seize state institutions, thereby threatening sovereignty and regional security. It explains that the monarchic states in the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, have succeeded in building a strong national state free from militia influence, unlike some Arab countries suffering from sectarian power-sharing systems, weak regimes, and fragile state structures. It also points out that militias such as the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq threaten regional security and undermine the sovereignty of nations, even though Saudi measures aim to precisely protect sovereignty without targeting the people or sectarian components.
