| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In two separate addresses to the United Nations General Assembly, former United States (U.S.) President, Barack Obama, linked the religious wars of the Middle East to the dangers of proxy wars. In September 2014, he acknowledged the long history of religiously motivated wars, and invited the international community to take note of “the destruction wrought by proxy wars and terror campaigns between Sunni and Shia across the Middle East” (Roberts 2014). Two years later, Obama reiterated his earlier concerns warning that “across the region’s conflicts, we have to insist that all parties recognize a common humanity and that nations end proxy wars that fuel disorder” (Oakford and Salisbury 2016). |
