LEAVE IRAQ TO UN (Oct 12): The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has called for the eviction of foreign forces from Iraq and allow the United Nations to run Baghdad's affairs. This would be the prelude to the restoration of the country’s independence and rebuilding of what has been destroyed over the past 20 years – all in accordance with a clear and short timetable, said OIC Secretary-General Dr Abdelouahed Belkeziz. 

SHOW OF UNITY (Oct 16): More than 30 leaders arrived to attend the 10th Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Summit - making it the largest ever gathering of Muslim leaders in the movement’s history. Except for Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak, Libya’s President Muammar Ghaddafi and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, almost every king, sultan, president and prime minister of prominent Muslim countries were present.
