Arab National Movement (ANM)
ARAB NATIONAL MOVEMENT (ANM)
organization dedicated to the unification of the arab world.
The Arab National Movement (ANM) was established by Palestinian students at the American University of Beirut in the 1950s. In Kuwait it found a spokesman in Dr. Ahmad al-Khatib, a member of the National Assembly since 1963. The ANM also had some impact in Bahrain, but not elsewhere in the Gulf, and as of the mid-1990s was an almost wholly spent force.
