Trump’s promise to build the wall
The construction of a wall on the Mexican-American border and shifting of the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem were among the biggest promises made by US President Donald Trump during his election campaign. Trump stated that he would make Mexico pay for the construction of the wall, the construction of which his opponents and even some loyalists considered to be unnecessary, illogical and immoral.Everybody thought that building the wall was only an electoral promise for winning local support and that it would be one of the promises that would evaporate after the election.However, after his unexpected victory, President Trump continued to talk about the wall, reaffirming that he would make Mexico finance its construction. In a televised speech, the Mexican president announced that he had...

Trump’s promise to build the wall

Trump’s major misunderstanding
Perhaps the most significant statement that US President Donald Trump posted during a busy weekend on his Twitter account was the protest, flamed in capital letters “STOP THE ENDLESS WARS”. What precisely did he mean?Was it a demand that fighting cease between the Assad regime and its rebellious citizens? Was he alluding to the no less tragic and devastating Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan? Did he mean that Turkey should stop attacking the Syrian Kurdish fighters of the YPG? Was he calling for an end to Israeli assaults on Palestinians and Hamas attacks on Israel? Was he thinking of the Saudi-led mission in Yemen to end the Iranian-backed Houthi rebellion against the legitimate government? Or was he even calling for an end to the Coalition’s fight against terrorists of Daesh (the...

The mass escape during school vacations
Al-MadinahIt is strange to see people leaving the country for a five-day school vacation in a mass escape that is accompanied by joy and happiness. A lot of money is spent on these vacations even though they are only for a few days.One thing that can be said is that a lot of people do not seem to think about the future as much as they do about how to enjoy the moment, regardless of how much money they have to spend. I am sure that people are borrowing money and taking out loans in order to enjoy short vacations. They have joy for a moment and then suffer as they are forced to repay the money they borrowed.People use their credit cards and borrow from relatives and spend thousands and thousands of riyals in a week and after they return, they start crying about how they are unable to pay...

Mixed marriages: Why not?
There is nothing more heartbreaking than a lonely woman denied her right to marriage, love and happiness.I knew Malak in her early twenties. She was such a romantic dreamer, full of passion for learning and work, life and love. She studied biology in the morning, worked for my newspaper in the afternoon, and wrote poetry and short stories in the evening. The combination of intelligence and gorgeousness, enthusiasm and idealism, kindness and generosity gave her instant success and fame.Malak is close to 40, now. She has lost much of her beauty and upbeat as a result of multiple physical and psychological illnesses. When she was younger, slimmer, healthier and happier, many suitors asked for her hand. The first was the love of her life, a handsome Syrian boy. Her father turned them all down,...

What is behind the Saudi teen’s escape?
OkazIS there is any foreign conspiracy behind the Saudi teenager's escape or was it purely a family matter? To answer this question, I will have to write two articles discussing all aspects of the case. Therefore, I will consider this article to be the first part of the series.First, what happened with Rahaf Alqunun? Why did this girl escape from her secure family environment and threw herself into the unknown? Can anyone talk with this girl to find out what really happened? At the same, can anyone engage in a dialogue with her family members, who have been silent on the matter till now? The family, however, has the right to voice their side of the story.Rahaf chose her fate. Escaping to an unknown country, which is strange to her cultural environment, is an unsafe path for a girl of...

Fix it yourself
When a person’s personal or home gadget stops working, the first impulse is to throw it away and buy something new. But there is a new movement which wants people to repair rather than replace.The biggest reason for the Right to Repair movement concerns the environment. As incomes rise and prices fall, E-waste is the fastest-growing waste in the world. Every year, we create two billion tons of waste, and 99 percent of the things we buy don’t make it past six months. Electronic waste has created mountains of toxic trash that’s hazardous to people and the planet.That’s why consumers and lawmakers in the US and Europe are fighting back using the burgeoning Right to Repair movement. It consists of a series of proposals from European environment ministers to force manufacturers to make...

SMS divorce
OkazAccording to Okaz sources, when the personal status court sends an SMS to wives in the case of divorce, the actual message does not mention divorce. It merely tells the wife that an official document has been issued in her name with a number and date. It will direct her to the place she needs to visit to receive more information.This reminds me of judges in Egyptian courts who transfer a case to the Grand Mufti of Egypt. This actually means that the decision of the court against the defendant is death.Recently married wives receive a clear SMS with their marriage contract registered with the name and identification number of their husband. The SMS will also provide a link to allow them to evaluate the service. However, a divorce SMS will not include a link to evaluate the service...

The West and the challenges of Orwell’s world!
With the rapid changes taking place in the world today, capitalist democracies face new and unprecedented challenges that require serious legal review that will not only affect the countries concerned but others as well. European governments are demanding that technology companies (all of them American) pay high taxes as a result of their great profits. These companies argue that a basic democratic principle is that there is no taxation without having the right to vote and that as digital companies operating in cyberspace they are not subject to censorship and are not limited by traditional rules, laws and regulations.This debate is new and unprecedented and will establish a model for future judicial decisions, and, therefore, it is being closely monitored by all of those concerned, even...

The Iranian agents at Yemen talks
Al-MadinaIT seems as if the East and West alike do not want a solution to the Yemen crisis and instead they want to prolong the war so they can exploit more of our natural resources and hinder our developmental leap. They want to see us busy in wars and conflicts so they could loot the last of our riches.Is it plausible that the United Nations deals with a gang of Houthi outlaws who overthrew the legitimate government in Sanaa as if they are representatives of the Yemeni people and provide them with a private jet to travel to Geneva or Stockholm and luxurious resorts to stay?They are just a bunch of lawless gangsters in our Arab land, and are managed and controlled by Iran. Is it possible that the United Nations, when the Yemeni national army was closing in on Al-Hodeida to liberate it,...

Saudi Arabia: The Kingdom of Civilizations
The title of this article is not an exaggeration, but irrefutable and undeniable truth. Evidence of this can be found in the exhibition, “Trade Routes in Arabia - Masterpieces of the Monuments of Saudi Arabia through the Ages”, on display in the Louvre in Abu Dhabi. It is one of the most important Saudi international exhibitions reflecting the cultural heritage of the Kingdom and the Arabian Peninsula. The Kingdom is the cradle of ancient human civilizations, although some people intentionally or unintentionally try to market the propaganda that the Arabian Peninsula did not create civilization. We believe that the Arabian Peninsula, which Saudi Arabia occupies most of, is the birthplace of many civilizations that have flourished within its borders. Professor of Archaeology,...
