Saudi Arabia will support Sudan against the influence of the Three Evils
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not and will not brag about its foreign affairs. The Kingdom is known as one of the few countries whose actions speak louder than words. Its positions toward its sisterly countries, friends and allies during hardships and challenges are the best proof of this.In 1988, when Sudan was hit by severe floods the Kingdom set up a large air bridge to provide relief to the displaced and injured Sudanese.The Kingdom and Sudan have long enjoyed a brotherly relationship, which was strengthened by mutual commercial trade between the seaports in Suakin and Jeddah.The Kingdom has not sought any interests or political gain from aid it has given to the Sudanese people. During the 1988 floods, it took into consideration the fact that the Sudanese government was made up of...

Saudi Arabia will support Sudan against the influence of the Three Evils

Why do we hate?
It is tough to understand where all the hate in our world comes from. Why would teenagers, full of life and potential, blow themselves up to kill those they disagree with? Why would educators, scientists, engineers, doctors and nurses override their education, experience and wisdom and turn into assassins of their own kind, including elderly, women and children - even their own parents? How do their handlers manage to fill them with such twisted convictions about those of other races, religions or even points of view?Psychiatrists and social scientists have wondered about the hidden capacity of humans to commit barbaric atrocities. They study war crimes and ethnic cleansing to discover the ills in our nature that allow demons to infiltrate our hearts and minds, exploit our weaknesses, and...

Trudeau bruised but leading with determination
Four years after he led his Liberal party to an unexpected but sweeping victory, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces another election where he is currently the underdog according to the polls. His Liberal party trails the Conservatives in the polls, as it did four years ago. It remains to be seen whether Trudeau can pull off another victory.The Liberal leader takes on difficult challenges and meets them head on. Long before he became prime minister he agreed to a boxing match with someone regarded as far stronger. This is not a requirement for a politician but Trudeau volunteered anyway and he won.Then he ran for Parliament. He could have done so from a safe seat in British Columbia, where he was teaching. But he chose to do so from his home province of Quebec and that too from a...

Pakistan’s forgotten ghetto dwellers
Lost among the poor and oppressed of this world, including those in Palestine, Myanmar, Syria and other areas, are more than a quarter million ghetto dwellers in squalid camps in Bangladesh. These are the Biharis, forgotten remnants of the Indo-Pakistan partition and there are very few voices that bring their destitute conditions to the fore.While the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states every person has a right to nationality, these “stranded Pakistanis” enjoy no such luxury. For the past 47 years, they have been spread across Bangladesh in 66 squalid camps, each no bigger than a football field, with poor sanitation and shortages of running water. Camp conditions are miserable, and large groups of families are often forced to share their living area with...

Exam time: We need to talk!
It is exam time! Students, parents and teachers are back to the battlefield! I am both father and educator, so you can imagine the load! What makes it harder is the fact that we have to deal with a different generation than our own. Our high expectations might not always be realized. Whose fault is it? Ours? Theirs? Is it the flaws in modern society, culture and education? Or could it be more of the same in a different package? We weren’t perfect in the good old days!Abdullah was overwhelmed with apprehension as he approached me after submitting his exam in the lab. “My neighbor was looking over my shoulder, and I expect that he copied my answers,” he whispered.Since I have a well-known policy of failing students whose answers are identical, Abdullah was worried. I told him that I...

Sudanese people are true heroes!
I am following with great interest and passion what is happening in Sudan. I love that country and I love its people. They are a generous, authentic and hospitable people even in times of difficulty and hardship. This was clearly demonstrated during the events of the Syrian revolution when they hosted Syrians without conditions or restrictions and treated them just like Sudanese citizens.Sudan is a rich and diverse country that has now rejected the Bashir regime, which came to power in a military coup against an elected and democratic government. It was a regime that conducted a political circus show, with rapprochement with Iran against the Gulf states and rapprochement with the coup regime in Qatar and Turkey. During the era of this regime, Sudan lost its south, destroyed Darfur and...

The requests of readers
One of the joys of being a columnist is the feedback one receives following the publication of his or her piece. Mind you, it is not always flattering and can occasionally be threatening, but in any case, these letters make for interesting reading. Then there are requests to publish the reader’s concerns regarding an issue that is bothering them.One such email is from Mohamed who kindly requests that I write an article about dependent fees. He wants to know whether the fees imposed on expatriate dependents will continue or cease after 2020 and requests that I put forth this question to those behind the law. He adds: “Because we have paid a huge amount of dependent tax for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, I now need to know whether this shall continue or stop in 2020. Accordingly, we...

Algeria and Sudan: Arab Spring? Again?
History tends to repeat itself, when people do not read it! It is also true that just because a story begins the same way as another, it doesn’t have to end the same.I understand why Arabs feel apprehensive about events in Sudan and Algeria. The resemblance is just too strong to the revolution of 2011 in neighboring Egypt. Likewise, Egyptians revolted against 60 years of military rule since the coup against King Farouk and his civilian, democratic government. They succeeded in firing President Mubarak who represented the army for 25 years, and his cabinet. The Military Transitional Council took over, for two years, and handed the reign to a democratically elected civilian government for a year. Then the army took back the government in 2013, after proving to the public how wrong it was...
