沙特联合33国组建反恐军事联盟

Saudi Arabia has unveiled a “military alliance” of Muslim nations to tackle terrorism, another sign of the conservative Gulf monarchy’s growing interventionist approach amid proxy conflicts with rival Iran and the rise of Sunni militancy.

沙特阿拉伯宣布将建立一个由穆斯林国家组成的“军事联盟”，以打击恐怖主义，这个迹象进一步表明，在与竞争对手伊朗发生代理人冲突和逊尼派武装组织崛起的背景下，这个保守的海湾王国正采取更具干预意识的姿态。

Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud announced yesterday the kingdom would set up a joint operations centre in Riyadh to “support military operations to fight terrorism” and to co-ordinate with “friendly peace-loving nations and international bodies”.

沙特副王储穆罕默德本萨勒曼阿勒沙特(Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud，见上图)昨日宣布，该国将在利雅得建立一个联合作战中心，以“支持打击恐怖主义的军事行动”，并与“爱好和平的友好国家和国际组织”合作。

The formation of the 34-strong Saudi-led alliance comes ahead of international mediation efforts in regional sectarian conflicts, such as the civil wars in Syria and Yemen.

在以沙特为首的34个国家组成联盟之后，国际社会将针对地区宗派冲突（例如叙利亚和也门的内战）展开斡旋努力。

The group is mainly formed of Sunni-majority Muslim states, including nations such as Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Morocco and Jordan and most of the Gulf Co-operation Council states.

该联盟主要由逊尼派占多数的穆斯林国家组成，包括土耳其、巴基斯坦、埃及、摩洛哥和约旦以及海湾合作委员会(Gulf Co-operation Council)多数国家。

The creation of the alliance marks another step in Saudi Arabia’s quest for the role of regional policeman. Riyadh, a target of Sunni Islamic radical group Isis, is also concerned about the expansion of interference in the Arab world by its Shia rival Iran.

这一联盟的建立标志着沙特阿拉伯向着充当地区警察的愿望又迈出一步。沙特阿拉伯是逊尼派伊斯兰激进组织伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国(ISIS)的目标，该国还对竞争对手、什叶派占多数的伊朗对阿拉伯世界的干预加大感到担忧。
