"The best that could be expected of this summit is for it to decide to leave the viewers' bench and get engaged in the affairs of the Arab region." -- Ahmed Shamouti, Al-Rai Al-Aam
"If the 1967 summit was remembered for the three famous "Nos" and the complete support for the occupied Arab states, the 2006 summit should witness strong decisive and unified resolutions." -- Osama Ayoub, Al-Osbou
"Khartoum was considered the Arab capital that rekindled the sense of unity and joint work among all Arab states in 1967, although Sudan was far from the field of battle." -- Mohsen Mohamed, Al-Wafd
