Looking ahead at science and technology in 2022 and beyond
Coming into 2022, the focus of science and technology (S&T) has sharpened with fresh urgency: Our climate is undergoing steep changes; an energy transition is in the offing; the world is increasingly hungry and thirsty, and we are failing our SDG goals; we are in the midst of a digital revolution; and present and future pandemics presents serious threats to name just a few.This shines a welcome light on our core business at KAUST. We are coming of age at an ideal time to support the Kingdom’s aspirations directly and to help train its S&T workforce to face these challenges. Indeed, science is a core enabler for Vision 2030.Beyond being the president of KAUST, I also serve on boards and advisory committees of many change-making organizations in the Kingdom such as the FII Institute, the...

Saudis in the camps of Iran and Hezbollah
My colleague Hassan Al-Mustafa wrote an eye-catching report, which was posted on the website of Al-Arabiya.net, about the involvement of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Lebanese Hezbollah in building, training and guiding Saudi Shiite terrorist groups.Al-Mustafa, in his capacity as an eminent journalist and an expert on Shiite political Islam groups, has reviewed a lot of accurate internal information in the report.This information is provided by the Western media, and by those who were deceived by Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah.Nasrallah came out in his last speech with depicting the itinerant Iranian general of terrorism Qassem Soleimani and his Iraqi student Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis as messengers of peace and builders of human...

Hassan Nasrallah and his last “slapping” party
by Najeeb YamaniI do not find a more accurate and appropriate description of the “slapping party” that Hassan Nasrallah held last week than that of an imagery of a “rat” that’s caught in a trap. The rat, finding no way to get out of it, is almost strangled in the trap such that there are no tricks left for it except meaningless screaming, wailing, and babbling while seeing nobody around extending any sort of help or aid.I say this with certainty while looking at the pathetic state of isolation that Nasrallah and his desperate Hezbollah group are experiencing. This miserable state in which Nasrallah and Hezbollah are in is a result of the great efforts in terms of the Saudi diplomacy over the past period with deliberate and insightful initiatives that were instrumental in setting...

Hassan Nasrallah and his last “slapping” party

Why does Hassan Nasrallah lie?
Why does the Lebanese-Iranian militia Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah continue telling lie after lie?Why does he insist on lambasting Saudi Arabia with slanders, fallacies, lies and insolence?This impostor is nothing more than a mere trumpet for Iran, and his actions have caused disasters for Lebanon, with the consequences have befallen its people. After all, his ambition is to convince his masters that his presence is indispensable to realize the ambitions of the Iranian hegemony.Nasrallah made derogatory remarks against Saudi Arabia in a cheap way featuring fanaticism and rudeness that were littered with lies. He has never been new to lies and betrayal. His job gives the impression that he was hired for treachery, dependence and slavery, and thus he wrote for himself that until his...

Promising prospects for Saudi Arabia in 2022
The magnitude of changes that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had passed through during the past five years was enormous. Saudi Arabia, with its leadership and people, crossed several phases and is moving rapidly towards comprehensive development that had been long-awaited since several decades, as Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman articulated: “The Kingdom is not prepared to waste any more time...”The changes encompassed all areas, and perhaps the most important of which is the participation of Saudi citizens in the National Project represented by the Vision 2030.This necessitated a return to the tolerant and moderate religion that the Kingdom has been known for centuries. The Kingdom, through its people and elites, stood firmly in confronting extremist and radical ideas that tried to...

Reflections on celebration of Christmas
Modern authors portrayed Christianity in a negative manner, and that portrayal was far from the concept of tolerance and human love that our religion calls us to follow.If we go back to history, we will find many luminous images in this aspect. Most of the Levant regions in the Umayyad state, especially the villages and countryside, were Christian, whether it was Arab or Syriac.Isho Ohaib, the third Catholicos of Babylon, who was among followers of the Church of the East, observed: “They are not the enemies of Christianity, but rather they praise our religion, reverence our priests and our saints, and extend a helping hand to our churches and monasteries.”The Umayyad Caliph Muawiyah Bin Abi Sufyan called the inhabitants of Syria as “the enlightened and tolerant” as stated by...

Machine translation: A new reality or a threat to human translators?
RIYADH — The debate over machine translation (MT) vs. human translation (HT) continues, with the question of whether MT will eventually replace HT in an era when MT is rapidly advancing and improving.A group of Saudi and international translation and interpretation academics and experts believe MT will replace HT, while another group believes MT will not replace HT.Meanwhile, a third group of those academic and experts agree that the relation between MT and HT is complementary.In an interview with the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Dr. Abdelhamid Elewa, Associate Professor of Linguistics and Translation at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, says: "I think we will not have human translators in the future. In the future, the machine translation will overcome human...

Iran and Hezbollah are the real enemies in Yemen
In a press conference held in Riyadh on Sunday, Brig. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki, spokesman of the Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy Yemen, revealed the deep involvement of the Lebanese Hezbollah in arming the Houthi militia and training them on how to use missiles and drones and launch them against Yemenis and Saudis. He made this disclosure with showing direct evidence for this.The shocking truth revealed in the press conference was that the Lebanese Hezbollah and its Houthi disciples have transformed the civilian Sana’a International Airport into a military base and a depot of missiles and drones along with a launch pad. These happen at a time when flights of international missions continue their landing and taking off as usual from the airport! Although Al-Maliki stressed that the...

The United Nations and accreditation of the Saudi Anti-Corruption School
It is not possible to diagnose and treat poverty in any society without diagnosing and treating corruption that is rampant in it. Any treatment of poverty without the treatment of corruption is just like treatment of a disease that has not been properly diagnosed. Hence, we can say corruption is the direct and indirect incubator of poverty.If the bottom of the society is eroded and its structure is disintegrated from below as well as from its right and left sides, apart from aggravating its communal diseases, then we can see that poverty is not the sole cause. In another sense, poverty is not a cause but the result. This is because poverty is a disease whose symptoms are easy to diagnose. The onus is often blamed on poverty instead of corruption, which is the real villain, owing to the...

Sisi and Erdogan; and the story of two experiments
The political and economic experiments of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and Turkish President Recep Erdogan deserve to be contemplated. The two states share certain similarities and characteristic features - both are overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and both are considered as a gateway to Europe: Turkey to Asia, and Egypt to Africa. Their populations are large in numbers. The professional working class in the two countries is skilled and diverse and they have an old economic structure with a rich legacy. The major difference is that the star of Egypt is rising politically and economically while the star of Turkey is at a low ebb.Sisi began his experiment to build the second Egyptian Republic since 2013, and for two consecutive years he had been in the efforts of extinguishing...
