In a few months' time, a year will have been passed since Turkey's failed military coup attempt. 

Yet to this day, Turks seem to have failed to convince people elsewhere that followers of
U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen were behind the coup. 

U.S. President Donald Trump set human rights scandals aside to welcome Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to the White House on April 3, the first such visit from an Egyptian president in almost a decade.

Greeting Sisi warmly in the Oval Office, Trump heaped praise on the former general's leadership as he sought to mend ties strained by crackdowns, revolution and counter-revolution.

Six years after baying crowds ousted him at the peak of the Arab Spring, former President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt was freed on Friday from the Cairo hospital where he had been detained, capping a long and largely fruitless effort to hold him accountable for human rights abuses and endemic corruption during his three decades of rule.

The United States banned laptops, tablets, cameras and similar electronic devices aboard planes from 10 cities in eight countries on March 20. The list included Istanbul in Turkey. The other countries in the list are Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates; all of them are Muslim countries from the greater Middle East area. 

According to information of the Israeli Haaretz newspaper, on February 2016 a secret meeting was held in Aqaba near the Red Sea between the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Egyptian President Abdel el-Sisi, the King of Jordan Abdullah and the US Secretary of State John Kerry.

U.S. President Donald Trump took his oath of office on Jan. 20 and began his four-year mandate as the most powerful leader in the world. The international community is yet to hear the basics of Trump's foreign policy, as his unsophisticated inaugural address was far from delivering any kind of vision on how his administration will deal with immediate global problems.
