How can we forget!
IN 1952, Saudi Aramco’s board of directors and its chief executives moved from New York to Dhahran to work in the nascent Saudi city, which had become the main headquarters of the company after World War II.The shifting of the venue of headquarters came after years of government complaints about the delay in obtaining direct answers from Aramco officials in the Kingdom, as they had to, at the time, go back to the company management based in New York to take the decisions. At the same time, Saudi managers were saying that they did not feel that Aramco’s shareholders had respect for them, and were being treated as subordinates.In documenting the first era of Aramco’s history, the famous author William Mulligan says that the transfer of the headquarters undoubtedly served the interest...

How can we forget!

Clubhouse worthy of attention
To be unique and worth being remembered, you have to have power and a great influence over others in an agreeable way.One such entity is on the way all set to make its mark, as we move quickly to new and different cycle of social media through the Clubhouse platform founded by Elon Musk. This program has evoked satisfaction from the majority of public that has used it, both in Saudi Arabia and around the world, although it is still not fully accessible as it is obtainable only through personal invitations.The atmosphere is congenial and is just simple as all you need to do is jump into any of the available rooms in the application, what someone has termed, can be the same of me or totally different. Yet we can reach one understanding that there’s “Freedom of Speech”. I believe, by...

Clubhouse worthy of attention

Who will confront Iran?
If the policeman of the world (America) has started using the language of evasive and exhausting statements towards Iran as well as the latter’s nuclear program and its meddling acts in the region since the administration of President Joe Biden took over the reins of power and pursues a policy of vetoing everything done earlier by the administration of his predecessor Donald Trump then there is an issue. Most notable among them is the revocation of the Houthi militia classification as a terrorist organization after it was endorsed by Trump ten days before his departure from the White House. And, thus today we are facing an imminent Iranian threat and an American administration with a soft position toward this danger. The question then begs who is there as an alternative to confront...

Who will confront Iran?

Biden administration and concept of Kingdom’s security and sovereignty
The new American administration has done well by explicitly declaring its commitment to cooperate with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to defend its sovereignty and counter the threats against it.The importance of the statement in this regard by US President Joe Biden lies in its timing as this statement was preceded by signs that were marked by negative repercussions towards regional issues, chiefly that the Biden administration remained vacillating about its intention to return to the nuclear agreement with the Iranian regime. This vacillation spread a state of anxious speculation and fear of return to pursuing the policies of former President Barack Obama, which led to creating a state of unrest in the region. However, this commitment shown by the Biden administration towards the...

Biden and the Mideast: Will he benefit from the legacy of his predecessors?
FROM the headquarters of the US State Department in Washington, US President Joe Biden chose to deliver his speech on his administration’s foreign policy.The temporal and spatial significance that Biden accorded to by choosing the ministry as the venue was quite obvious, as the new president wanted to bring back the glory attached to the US diplomacy and restore its actors who were marginalized during the Trump years. Moreover, it also showed that the beginning of the presidential term is an indication of the importance President Biden attaches to the foreign policy files that will be on his table.Perhaps the first impression that an observer can get is that foreign policy has returned to institutions where it belonged after it was characterized by individualism and was closely linked to...

The new Saudi Arabia: Reform of everything
THE biggest, greatest, and most important gift that destiny can present to any people in this world is a “brave leader who is preoccupied with reforming everything.”The courage of leaders alone does not serve the people but could lead even to perishing, and the desire for reform without courage does not serve either. If the leader combines courage with the obsession of reform, as well as true will for the rule of justice, transparency, and human rights in parallel with sustainable development, then it is time for his people to move to the future with confidence and speed racing with history. The glories of nations of this sort have always been made specifically by great leaders.Every new day in Saudi Arabia confirms that the destiny’s gift to it, represented by the reformist Crown...

The new Saudi Arabia: Reform of everything

Saudi Arabia: A state of legislations and rights
WHILE discussing human rights in Saudi Arabia last Monday as the issue is raised outside the Kingdom every now and then, I wrote in my article: “The Kingdom, like any other country, does not claim that its human rights have reached perfection and it has an exemplary model, but at the same time, it is also working at an accelerated pace to promote and develop these rights.The Kingdom presents its reports, backed by accomplished facts, to citizens as well as to the international human rights organizations that participate in it. What has been achieved in this field during the last several years is considered as a big and very important leap.I would say this because I do know, as other observers know, that there have been ongoing efforts to develop many laws and legislations related to...

Saudi Arabia: A state of legislations and rights

When things do go right, all will rely on them for guidance
The quality of being fair is a state that we all seek to attain and need, especially through our governmental systems with its main representative spearheading the principles of righteousness. I trust that Saudi Arabia’s legal system is based on Shariah, Islamic law derived from the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah (the traditions) of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), which is the source of stability and justice for us as Muslims. Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman’s announced four new laws to reform Saudi Arabia’s judicial institutions, and it was pleasant and reassuring news that promotes clarity and transparency, human rights and social stability. Simply, this means, judgments will be issued without being swayed by the moods of the judge or members of the judicial institutions, no favoritism,...

And then what!
Will our lives return to the normalcy that it was before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuing suffering from its devastating effects on the health, economic and psychological grounds?This question continues to linger in people’s minds and in their tongues. The loss of a sense of safety and reassurance as well as an increase in cases of insinuation and anxiety have become features associated with the general situation through which a large number of people are passing while encountering the devastating virus.There have been changes in the patterns of work, education and social gathering, in addition to losing the pleasure of traveling abroad, which is an issue that has become far-fetched today in light of the escalating talk of complicated travel procedures.These...

Don’t want that nightmare again
The precautions and the guidelines being reissued by the Ministry of Health are signs that we may face a resurgence of the scary coronavirus, and the situation could turn dire if we do not take the MOH messages seriously. Will we be safe again? May be face another lock down? Working online and from home? No one knows, as the situation is unpredictable with this random virus turning out to be a socioeconomic leveler.Many countries are going through critical times and have announced lockdowns and curbs to battle a coronavirus variant that has already killed thousands of people. Even developed countries were hit by this disastrous virus and seemingly have lost control in the face of this virus. For instance UK is in grip of this new variant and are going through a harrowing period. British...
