Rosario Soler, “El poder de los militares en Oriente Próximo y el norte de África”, El Orden Mundial, www.elordenmundial.com, 10/10/2019 [Consultado: 15/10/2019).
“Los militares son actores clave en las estructuras de poder de los países de Oriente Próximo y el norte de África. A lo largo de los años, su influencia se han extendido a las esferas política, económica y social, en algunos casos han protagonizado golpes de Estado o sostenido dictaduras, y han forjado alianzas con potencias occidentales en materia de venta de armas y de lucha antiterrorista.”
