“I find the coverage and analysis from AL-MONITOR to be extensive, on point and first rate; I very much depend on it to stay abreast of developments in the region. As a retired intelligence officer, the real value for me is that AL-MONITOR goes beyond the news and provides insight, understanding and analysis. Frankly, it is my go-to site each morning.”
