As a journalist, I read Arabic newspapers every day, especially the opinion section.
Every month, I want to share with you on Arabic for Nerds what I find interesting from a linguistic perspective and which vocabulary might be worth learning. I call it the Media Arabic Booster.
Media Arabic Booster: 03/25 Show
A close look at a headline
al-Sharq al-Awsat: Israel attacks Gaza at night
On March 19, 2025, many Arabic newspapers carried the deadly attack on Gaza on their front pages. The Israeli military had launched a major attack on Gaza during the night, killing over 400 Palestinians, according to Gazan sources.
The attacks drew widespread international condemnation and calls for a cease-fire. Netanyahu insisted on military pressure on Hamas to release the hostages. The U.S. blamed Hamas for the collapse of the ceasefire, while Hamas accused Netanyahu of covering up internal crises.
The Saudi-financed newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat (جريدة الشرق الأوسط) featured the assault on the front page of their March 19, 2025, issue.
Let’s focus on the headline:
نتنياهو يرمّم حكومته بدم غزة
Netanyahu rebuilds his government with Gaza’s blood
إسرائيل تقتل المئات في أعنف أيام الحرب… وواشنطن تحمّل «حماس» مسؤولية انهيار الهدنة… وإدانات عربية ودولية
Israel kills hundreds in the deadliest days of the war… Washington holds Hamas responsible for the collapse of the truce… and Arab and international condemnation
al-Shorouk: Inflation in Egypt
On March 10, 2025, al-Shorouk (صحيفة الشروق), an Egyptian newspaper, reported that Egypt’s annual inflation rate fell to 12.5% in February 2025 (from 23.2% in January), the fourth straight monthly decrease.
This decline is partly due to a “base effect”, where high inflation rates from the previous year make the current rate seem relatively lower. Vegetable prices played a key role in this trend, dropping by 8.2%.
Let’s focus on the headline:
معدل التضخم السنوي يتراجع للشهر الرابع على التوالي.. وينخفض لـ12.5% في فبراير الماضي
Annual inflation rate declines for the fourth consecutive month, falling to 12.5% in February.
خبراء: تأثير سنة الأساس وراء الانخفاض الكبير في التضخم. شفيع يتوقع بدء تخفيض أسعار الفائدة خلال اجتماع المركزي القادم
Experts: The base effect is behind the significant drop in inflation. Shafie expects interest rates to begin being cut during the next central bank meeting.
The base effect happens when we compare current inflation to a past period where prices were unusually high or low.
- What it means: If last year prices were very high, this year’s inflation might seem lower than it really is. If last year prices were very low, this year’s inflation might seem higher.
- Example: Let’s say prices in Egypt were unusually high last year. This year, even if prices are still rising, the inflation rate might look lower simply because we’re comparing it to that high starting point.
- Why it matters: It’s important to look closely at inflation numbers to understand the real changes in prices over time. Just one number might not tell the whole story.
- A note on language: In the Arabic headline, the word for year (سنة) was included. We usually understand that inflation is measured over a year, so you don’t mention it in the English translation.
Arabic Hack: Identifying names that resemble regular Arabic words
Consider the phrase: شفيع يتوقع. For Arabic learners, the word شَفِيعٌ might be confusing as it can translate to mediator, intercessor, or in a Christian context (الْمَسِيحِيَّةُ), patron saint. The plural form is شُفَعَاءُ, and the I-verb شَفَعَ – يَشْفَعُ means to mediate or, with the preposition بِ, to add or to attach.
But that wouldn’t make sense here.
In this context, شفيع is likely a personal name. Mustafa Shafie (مصطفى شفيع) is indeed the Head of Research at “Arabia Online” (رئيس قسم البحوث بشركة عربية أون لاين), a company specializing in financial services and investment research. He frequently offers insights on economic trends and monetary policies.
A common challenge in Arabic is that personal names often originate from regular words, frequently adjectives with positive connotations (Karim – كَرِيمٌ – meaning generous); some can also be nouns denoting animals (like lion – أَسَد) or positive feelings (Hanan – حَنان – affection, sympathy).
So, how can Arabic learners identify names more easily? Here are a few helpful tips:
- Quotation marks: In contemporary writing, especially in news and formal contexts, names are often enclosed in quotation marks (” “). This is a strong indicator that a word is a name.
- Absence of the definite article: While not a foolproof rule, if a noun appears at the beginning of a sentence and functions as the subject without the definite article (الـ), it is often a proper noun (a name). Typically, definite or specific subjects take the definite article. However, be aware that indefinite nouns can also be subjects.
- If you cannot work out the meaning of a word in a sentence, check whether it might be the name of a person, company or country – because that is usually what it is.
- Context is key: Pay close attention to the surrounding verbs. Is it an action that is usually associated with a person or a company?
Translation of an article
Let’s look at parts of a longer newspaper article in Arabic. We will translate each sentence carefully. The highlighted words are in the vocabulary list below.
Arabi 21 (Egypt): A Russian military base in the middle of nowhere in Libya
On 10 March 2025, the Egyptian news website Arabi 21 (عربي 21) published a report by its Libyan correspondent in Tripoli, Ala’ Farouq (علاء فاروق).
Russia is considering establishing a new military base in South Libya with Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, aiming to boost its influence in the African Sahel. This move could provoke tensions with the US and NATO due to the base’s strategic location near Chad and Sudan.
About General Haftar
Khalifa Belqasim Haftar (خليفة بلقاسم حفتر) was born in 1943 in Ajdabiya (أجدابيا), Libya. He is a military general.
- Haftar joined Benghazi’s military academy in 1961. At 26, he participated in Muammar Gaddafi’s coup d’état against King Idris in 1969.
- In 1980, Gaddafi promoted Haftar to colonel and sent him to fight in Chad. Haftar was captured by Chadian forces in 1987.
- Upon release, Haftar defected from the Libyan army. With backing from the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), he formed the military wing of the National Front for the Salvation of Libya (الجبهة الوطنية لإنقاذ ليبيا) to overthrow Gaddafi.
- Haftar lived for a while in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) before traveling to the US.
- In the United States of America, Haftar settled in northern Virginia, near the CIA headquarters in Langley.
- He returned to Libya in 2011 after Gaddafi’s death. In February 2014, he called on Libyans to overthrow the elected parliament and the General National Congress (المؤتمر الوطني العام).
- Backed by the UAE and Egypt, Haftar launched a military campaign against what he called “terrorists” in Benghazi and Tripoli.
- On June 4, 2014, Haftar survived an assassination attempt. However, he did not disappear from public view. He has remained an active figure in Libyan politics and military affairs. For instance, he participated in the Berlin Conference on Libya in 2020, which aimed to address the ongoing conflict in the country.
Recent news reports by Arabi21 show that Khalifa Haftar’s forces in eastern Libya and Belarus (بيلاروس) have been visiting each other and making agreements.
Haftar is trying to get more international allies and military support, possibly through Russia, while Belarus wants to grow its diplomatic and economic presence.
- Haftar and Belarus have agreed to military cooperation, including arms deals and training.
- Belarus will establish a diplomatic representation office in Benghazi (بنغازي). Benghazi is a city located in northeastern Libya, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The population was estimated to be around 859,000 in 2023.
- Agreements span sectors including health, agriculture, industry, and education.
- Observers suggest Haftar aims to indirectly communicate with Russia and diversify his allies.
People are worried that this partnership, which includes deals in health, agriculture, and defense, is mainly about getting weapons and helping Haftar keep his strict control, similar to Belarusian President Lukashenko’s style.
Note: The Arabic word for Belarus (بيلاروس) looks masculine, but it is actually a feminine word!
Let’s now take a closer look at a few complete paragraphs.
Section 1
ترددت أنباء متطابقة عن توجه روسيا للحصول على قاعدة عسكرية جديدة في جنوب ليبيا عبر اتفاقات مع قائد الجيش في شرق البلاد، المشير خليفة حفتر وسط تساؤلات عن أهداف الخطوة وما إذا كانت ستثير غضب أمريكا وحلف الناتو.
وكشف موقع “إنسايد أوفر” الإيطالي عن تحركات موسكو بالتنسيق مع حفتر لإنشاء قاعدة عسكرية في منطقة معطن السارة جنوبي ليبيا، وأن القاعدة قد تصبح مركزا رئيسيا لعمليات فيلق أفريقيا الروسي، نظرا لموقع المنطقة الاستراتيجي بالقرب من الحدود مع تشاد والسودان، كون روسيا تسعى لتعزيز نفوذها في منطقة الساحل الأفريقي على حساب النفوذ الفرنسي.
Consistent (identical) reports have emerged about Russia’s intentions to acquire a new military base in southern Libya based on agreements with the commander of the army in the eastern part of the country, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, amid questions about the purpose of this move and whether (or not) it will anger the United States and NATO.
The Italian website InsideOver revealed Moscow’s efforts, in coordination with Haftar, to establish a military base in the Ma‘tan al-Sarra region in southern Libya, and that the base could become a key operational center (major hub) for the Russian African Corps, given the region’s strategic location near the borders with Chad and Sudan, with Russia seeking to strengthen its influence in the African Sahel region at the expense of France (French influence).
The Russian African Corps (فَيْلَقُ أَفْرِيقْيا الرُّوسِيُّ), also known as the Africa Corps (الْفَيْلَقُ الْأَفْرِيقِيُّ), is a Russian military entity established to expand Russia’s influence in Africa.
It operates under the control of the Russian Ministry of Defense and largely took over the operations of the Wagner Group in Africa. The Corps focuses on providing military support, training, and counterterrorism cooperation with Russia-aligned governments in countries like Libya, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and the Central African Republicز
The term الفيلق الإفريقي may also appear in historical contexts. The German الفيلق الإفريقي refers to the Deutsches Afrikakorps (German Africa Corps), a military unit of Nazi Germany formed during World War II.
Established on 12 February 1941, its purpose was to support Italian forces in North Africa. The corps played a significant role in the North African campaign, participating in key battles such as Tobruk, Gazala, and El Alamein. It was commanded by figures like General Erwin Rommel, who earned the nickname “Desert Fox” for his strategic prowess. The unit ceased operations in May 1943 after the Axis forces surrendered in Tunisia.
The situation in Libya in 2025
Libya, in North Africa, is the fourth-largest country in Africa and the sixteenth largest in the world, covering 1.76 million square kilometers (679,362 square miles). It’s about 4.9 times bigger than Germany. As of early 2025, Libya’s population is estimated to be around 7.2 million.
Libya’s political situation remains complex and divided. Since the fall of Muammar Qaddafi (معمر القذافي) in 2011, the country has struggled to establish stable governance. Currently, Libya is split between two main rival factions:
- The Government of National Unity (حُكُومَةُ الْوَحْدَةِ الْوَطَنِيَّةِ) – GNU: This UN-recognized government is based in Tripoli and led by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh (عبد الحميد الدبيبة). It was formed through a UN-supported process to unify the country after years of civil war.
- The Libyan National Army (الْجَيْشُ الْوَطَنِيُّ اللِّيبِيُّ) – (LNA): Led by Khalifa Haftar (خليفة حفتر), this faction controls the eastern part of Libya. Haftar’s forces have significant military power and are supported by various international allies.
Despite a ceasefire agreement in 2020, tensions and conflicts continue, with both sides vying for control and influence. The situation is further complicated by external actors and shifting alliances, making it difficult to achieve lasting peace and stability.
Section 2
وبحسب المتداول ووفق مصادر عسكرية تحدثت إليها “عربي21” فإن “معطن السارة هو عبارة عن قاعدة عسكرية قديمة عرفت عندما استخدمها العقيد الليبي الراحل معمر القذافي خلال الحرب مع تشاد، وبعد مقتل القذافي وإنهاء حكمه تحولت القاعدة إلى منطقة مهجورة منذ 2011، وأهملها القادة الجدد بعد الثورة الليبية”.
كما كشفت تقارير متطابقة، أن روسيا نقلت معدّات عسكرية متطورة من قواعدها بسوريا إلى قاعدة في الشرق والجنوب الليبي، الخاضعة لسيطرة قوات حفتر، وقامت بتعزيز حضورها في أفريقيا.
من جهته، قال الباحث الليبي في الأمن القومي والخبير في الشؤون العسكرية، محمد السنوسي إن “قاعدة السارة الجوية ليست مجرد قاعدة في عمق صحراء جنوب شرق ليبيا، بل تمثل ارتكازا استراتيجيا مهما على مستوى العمليات اللوجستية أو القتالية، وحتى الاستخباراتية. كونها قريبة من مثلث حدودي يشرف على ثلاث دول جارة لليبيا، هي مصر، والسودان، وتشاد”.
According to the information and military sources who spoke to Arabi 21, “Ma’tan al-Sarra is an old military base, which became known when late Libyan Colonel Muammar Gaddafi used it during the war with Chad. After Gaddafi was killed and his regime was toppled, the base was abandoned in 2011, and neglected by the new leaders who came after the Libyan revolution”.
Corresponding reports have also revealed that Russia has transferred advanced military equipment from its bases in Syria to a base in eastern and southern Libya, controlled by Haftar’s forces, and has strengthened its presence in Africa.
Libyan researcher in national security and expert on military affairs Mohammed el-Senussi said: “The Ma’tan al-Sarra airbase is not just a base deep inside the desert in southeast Libya. It is an important strategic foothold for logistical or combat operations, even intelligence operations, seeing as how it is close to a border triangle between three of Libya’s neighboring states, i.e., Egypt, Sudan, and Chad.“
Deep dive: Ma’tan al-Sarra (معطن السارة) – A deserted place at what feels like the end of the world
- Ma’tan al-Sarra (معطن السارة) is an oasis situated in the Kufra District (شعبية الكفرة) in the southeastern region of Libya (ليبيا).
- The word مَعْطِنٌ denotes the resting place of camels, the place of camels where they lie down at the water.
- Located within the Libyan Desert (الصحراء الليبية), it lies approximately 322 kilometers (approximately 200 miles) southwest of Kufra (الكفرة), an ancient oasis region.
- The name Kufra (الكفرة) is believed to derive from the Arabic word “kafir” (كافر), meaning infidels, referring to the Toubou people native to the region. In his book The Road to Mecca, Muhammad Asad (born as Leopold Weiß) recounts the Italian seizure of Kufra in 1931, describing an attack from three sides with armored cars, artillery, and aircraft, which overwhelmed the defenders.

- In recent decades, Kufra has become a significant transit point for African migrants attempting to reach Europe, with some being detained in its notorious prison.
- Historically, Ma’tan al-Sarra was a marginal oasis characterized by few palm trees and water of substandard quality. Notably, in 1811, its unique conditions facilitated the establishment of what is considered the last trans-Saharan caravan route.
- In 1934, the territory encompassing Ma’tan al-Sarra was ceded to Fascist Italy (إيطاليا الفاشية) by the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (السودان الأنجلو-مصري) as part of the Sarra Triangle.
- During the Chadian-Libyan conflict (الصراع التشادي الليبي), which spanned from 1978 to 1987 and was primarily fueled by Libya’s territorial ambitions in northern Chad, Ma’tan al-Sarra served as a military base. It provided space for over 100 fighter planes. It is one of the 13 military airbases in Libya.
- Information regarding the current number of inhabitants of Ma’tan al-Sarra is not readily available.
Section 3
وأوضح في تصريحات خاصة لـ”عربي21″ أن “روسيا تدرك الأهمية الاستراتيجية للقاعدة، وهي تلبي احتياجات الفيلق الأفريقي وهناك معلومات تفيد بتواجد روسي فاعل في القاعدة، ما يجعل روسيا متواجدة عسكرياً شرق، ووسط، وجنوب غرب وجنوب شرق ليبيا، ما يتيح لها مرونة كبيرة وخيارات مثالية في الحركة والمناورة“، وفق قوله.
وأضاف: “أما فيما يتعلق باستمرار حفتر في توسيع تحالفه مع روسيا، في تقديري العلاقة بين الطرفين هي علاقة لم تصل للمستوى الاستراتيجي بعد، ولكن هذا لا ينفي كون العلاقة مهمة على المستوى العسكري تسليحاً وتدريبا“.
وأكد السنوسي أن “روسيا أثبتت جدية في التعامل مع حفتر، بعكس الغرب، وفي ذات الوقت حفتر يحاول أن يدير المتناقضات، ويقول للغرب إما أن تعترفوا بأني رجل ليبيا القوي القادر على الحكم وتتعاملوا معي على هذا الأساس أو سأطور علاقتي بروسيا وحلفائها مستغلاً حالة الارتباك الاستراتيجي الذي يشهده الغرب في هذه المرحلة، هذا من جانب”.
He added in exclusive statements to Arabi 21: “Russia is aware of the strategic importance of the base, which meets the needs of the African Corps. There is also information talking about an active Russian presence in the base, which makes Russia militarily present in east, central, southwest, and southeast Libya, thus giving it greater flexibility and ideal action and maneuvering options.
He continued: “On the other hand, Haftar is continuing to widen his alliance with Russia. But in my opinion, the relationship between the two sides has not reached a strategic level, though this does not deny the fact that it is important on the military level in terms of armament and training.”
Unlike the West, Russia confirmed its seriousness in dealing with Haftar, which is in turn trying to manage the contradictions and saying to the West: Either you recognize me as the strong man of Libya capable of governing and deal with me accordingly, or I will develop my relationship with Russia and its allies, exploiting the strategic confusion the West is experiencing at this stage.”
Section 4
في حين رأى الباحث الروسي بمركز الدراسات العربية الأوراسية، ديمتري بريدجيه أن “تحركات روسيا لإنشاء قاعدة جوية في معطن السارة بجنوب ليبيا تعكس استراتيجية طويلة الأمد تهدف إلى تعزيز النفوذ الروسي في شمال أفريقيا والساحل الأفريقي، مستفيدة من الفراغ الجيوسياسي الذي تركه الغرب بسبب تراجعه النسبي في التعامل مع الملفات الأفريقية”.
“…فموسكو لطالما استخدمت شركات عسكرية خاصة ووجودًا غير رسمي لتحقيق أهدافها دون الاضطرار إلى مواجهة مباشرة مع القوى الغربية، ومع ازدياد التوترات بين روسيا والغرب في عدة جبهات، فإن تحويل ليبيا إلى نقطة ارتكاز لعمليات روسية في أفريقيا سيكون خطوة طبيعية تتماشى مع استراتيجية موسكو في توسيع دائرة نفوذها دون الانخراط في مواجهات مباشرة مع الناتو”، كما رأى.
وتابع لـ”عربي21″: “من الناحية المستقبلية، إذا مضت روسيا قدمًا في ترسيخ وجودها العسكري في الجنوب الليبي، فسنشهد تغيرًا في موازين القوى الإقليمية، حيث ستمتلك موسكو نقطة تأثير رئيسية بالقرب من أوروبا، وقريبة من مناطق النزاع في الساحل الأفريقي، مما قد يؤدي إلى ردود فعل أكثر حدة من قبل واشنطن وحلفائها الأوروبيين”.
As for Russian researcher at the Center for Arab-Eurasian Studies Dmitry Bridzhe, he believes that “Russia’s establishment of an airbase in Ma’tan al-Sarra reflects a long-term strategy to strengthen Russian influence in Africa and the African Sahel, thus capitalizing on the geopolitical vacuum left by the West, which has relatively pulled away from dealing with the African files”.
“…Moscow has long used private military companies and an unofficial presence to achieve its goals without having to confront Western powers directly. With tensions between Russia and the West increasing on several fronts, turning Libya into a focal point for Russian operations in Africa would be a natural step in line with Moscow’s strategy of expanding its sphere of influence without engaging in direct confrontations with NATO”, he said.
He added in exclusive statements to Arabi 21: “In the future, if Russia moves forward with strengthening its military presence in southern Libya, we will witness a shift in the regional balance of powers, seeing as how Moscow will have a key point of influence near Europe and the conflict areas in the African Sahel, which might lead to fiercer responses from Washington and its European allies.”

| قَاعِدَةٌ pl: قَوَاعِدُ | base, foundation; also: rule, principle; military base. For example: grammar rules (قَواعِدُ اللُغَةِ); rule of law (قاعِدَةٌ قانُونِيَّةٌ); the terrorist organization al-Qaida (تَنْظِيمُ القاعِدَةِ). Russia seeks to obtain a new military base (تَسْعَى رُوسْيا لِلحُصُولِ عَلَى قاعِدَةٍ عَسْكَرِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ). Do you know why the terrorist group is called al-Qaida? We don’t know for sure; there are many explanations. Osama bin Laden (أسامة بن لادن) himself, in an interview with al-Jazeera, gave the following explanation in 2001: “The name al-Qaeda was established a long time ago by mere chance. The late Abu Ebeida El-Banashiri (أبو عبيدة البنشيري) established the training camps for our mujahedeen against Russia’s terrorism. We used to call the training camp al-Qaeda. And the name stayed.” Source: Transcript of Interview |
