Al-Sahaf and the AL council's presidency
Iraq, Politics, 8/23/1999

Al-Qabas Kuwaiti daily issued on Saturday said the rotating presidency of the Arab League council, which is to be assumed by Iraq, has saved Iraqi Foreign Minister Muhammad Saeed al-Sahaf from a ministerial reshuffle which was about to take place in the Iraqi government. The paper added that the Arab governments have agreed to have al-Sahaf as a chairman for the ministerial council on September 12 because al-Sahaf has won Egypt's acceptance and because the AL chief has confidence in his performance on the issue of reconciliation between certain Arab states and Iraq.
