The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) commemorated its tenth anniversary on Monday, marking a decade of joint institutional work dedicated to enhancing security and confronting terrorism and extremism globally.

Established in December 2015 by an initiative from Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and launched under the patronage of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the coalition aimed to unify the Muslim world against the transnational threat of terrorism.

A pivotal moment occurred in 2023 when Minister of Defense Prince Khalid bin Salman bin Abdulaziz assumed the chairmanship of the IMCTC Council of Ministers of Defense, marking a new phase of enhanced oversight and strategic momentum.

In February 2024, Prince Khalid reinforced this commitment by announcing SAR100 million in financial support from the Kingdom, alongside 46 specialized training scholarships for member states.

Over the past 10 years, the IMCTC has implemented an integrated operational model based on four key areas: intellectual, media, countering the financing of terrorism, and military, benefiting thousands of trainees.

IMCTC Secretary-General Major General Mohammed Al-Moghedi stressed that the anniversary is a milestone for evaluating progress and envisioning the future.

The coalition, built on continuous support from the Kingdom, will expand initiatives focusing on sustainability, knowledge transfer, and deepening partnerships to strengthen security, peace, and the values of moderation, he added.

The Yemeni governorate of Socotra on Friday received the first shipment of fuel products provided under a Saudi grant through the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen (SPDRY).

The grant will support electricity generation in several districts and cover power generation stations across Yemen’s governorates.

The fuel grant comes as part of a recently announced Saudi package of developmental and economic support, comprising 28 development projects and initiatives valued at 1.9 billion Saudi riyals.

The program has signed an agreement with Yemen’s Ministry of Energy and Electricity to purchase fuel products from PetroMasila to supply more than 70 power generation stations across various governorates.

The initiative aims to strengthen institutional capacity, support the stability of the electricity sector and continuity of services, ensure the operation of vital national facilities, and stimulate economic recovery and growth in the country.

The total volume of fuel products amounts to 339 million liters of diesel and fuel oil, valued at $81.2 million, to operate power plants in different governorates. The supplies are expected to enhance the efficiency of government institutions and boost Yemen’s economy.

The grant is expected to have a positive impact on improving services for Yemenis by increasing the reliability of electricity supply for hospitals, medical centers, roads, schools, airports, and ports, as well as strengthening economic and commercial activity.

SPDRY has previously provided fuel grants worth $180 million in 2018, $422 million in 2021, and $200 million in 2022, in addition to the current grant for 2026.
