Yemen: Light at the end of the tunnel!
With all the games the Houthi are playing to dismantle the Sweden Agreement, hopes are dashed with every rebel violation and with motor attacks on civilians and government-controlled areas. Still, I am hopeful.Yes, it is never easy to win a war in Yemen. For a decade, Nasser’s Egypt supported a military coup against the 1,000-year-old Zaidi Kingdom. In 1961, when the Egyptians went in, they thought it was a “mission possible.” It took them eight years to realize their mistake. Up to 70,000 well-trained soldiers, with modern equipment, were unable to defeat mountainous tribes with no more than old rifles and knives.The invader, this time, is Iran. The Arab Coalition is backing the legitimate Yemeni government against a foreign-led rebellion. That was what Saudi Arabia did when it...

The lie about low-calorie food
Al-JazirahStarting this year restaurants and cafes will face a financial penalty if they do not make clear the number of calories of each item on their menus. The question is: What is the criterion that these restaurants and cafes use to count calories? Are the calories in all local meals and drinks being calculated correctly? In my opinion, this matter requires further explanation from the concerned authorities.The world is discovering day by day that diet supplements and low-calorie food are a scam and a marketing technique used by some companies. The latest scandal is that a medical college in New York has announced that a diet soda with zero sugar and calories increases the risk of stroke by 25 percent and heart disease by 30 percent.This is just one study on one product from an...

The lie about low-calorie food

Three states and three leaders!
Reactions to the recent tour of Asia by Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman continue. The tour included three completely different countries important in various ways for Saudi Arabia led by three leaders with different personalities.Pakistan came into existence as a result of the partitioning of India in 1947. It is now led by Imran Khan, who retired from cricket as a national hero after leading his country to win the World Cup. I met him for the first time on one of his visits to Jeddah, where he came to perform Umrah, and to get donations for his great charity project, which is a cancer hospital, named after his mother.Imran Khan tried to defeat Pervez Musharraf, Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto in national elections, but they were stronger and had influential financial and tribal...

Bullying in our society
Al-MadinahWe have recently started to hear the word “bullying” used a lot. We even read about anti-bullying events and seminars. Some people might wonder what exactly constitutes bullying?Some references indicate that bullying is a form of violence and abuse, which is a kind of behavior that you may find in schools. Bullying is when an individual or a group of people target a weaker group or a person and attack them verbally or physically. Bullies follow the policy of threatening and intimidation.However, bullying does not only occur in schools. It can happen in the workplace, the neighborhood or between neighbors. Bullying is more than just provocation; it is about finding joy in humiliating others and imposing one’s power on them.There are different types of bullying. The first is...

Creating religious, racial harmony in the Philippines
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, the country’s first leader from the southern island of Mindanao which has a large Muslim population in the predominantly Catholic country, boldly pledged in his election campaign to bring peace to the country by removing “historical injustices” that had kept the country’s Muslims as second-class citizens.It was a daring promise, considering that the Philippines has had tensions between Christians and Muslims from the very time the Spaniards conquered the Philippines in 1521-1565 and named it after King Philip. The Spaniards had killed or forcibly converted the Moors of Spain to Christianity and purged Spain of Islam and Muslims.When they encountered Muslims in what became the Philippines, they called them Moros and treated them with the same...

SnapChat doctor violates patient’s confidentiality
Al-JazirahA video of a gynecologist talking about one of her patients appeared on SnapChat. Many people viewed it because the story seemed pretty odd and the doctor gained popularity because of it.The doctor’s first offense was violating the confidentiality of her patient. She talked about her patient in detail, which is wrong because a doctor’s job is to keep a patient’s information private. It should not be made public even though the doctor only mentions the patient’s first name.Furthermore, in the video the doctor talked about collecting a sample from the patient without her permission. This violates the sixth rule of the rights and duties of a patient. It is the patient’s right to know the full plan of treatment and full details of the diagnosis before any procedure is...

Palestine is the foremost issue for Arabs
When the Arab armies were defeated in the war with Israel in 1948, they justified that defeat by attributing it to a host of factors. These included the continuing control of the British in some Arab countries as well as the outdated weapons used by the Arabs in the war in addition to the lack of coordination and discipline of Arab armies. Moreover, the Arab armies had to fight with Zionist militias, which were well trained by Western military advisors.After the defeat of the Arab armies in the 1948 war, the Arabs vowed to take revenge and started preparations for the next war in order to teach the enemy a bitter lesson. But the setback came in 1967 when Israel launched a surprise war on three Arab countries: Egypt, Syria and Jordan. In spite of the verbal skirmishes that preceded the war,...

Saudi Space Authority: A path to the future
Al-RiyadhThe establishment of the Saudi Space Authority is a giant step that will provide a qualitative change in intellectual culture for future generations in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. Space science represents a quantum leap in monitoring geography and observing vegetation. It also helps the government monitor urban development and contributes to the development of curriculum for students to raise their awareness about the world of space and its future possibilities. That is why it is being taught as a scientific subject to students in Japan and Europe from an early age.Space rivalry began as part of the ideological rivalry of the Cold War between the East and the West. Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space, and American astronaut Neil Armstrong...

Staying healthy is good for you
Although similar words of advice have been floating around for a while in one form or the other, it is good to repeat them every now and then to help all of us keep our health in check. I had these words taped unobtrusively to the front of my fridge for some time, but a recent contribution from a reader prompted me to take a closer look. These are natural foods; herbs and roots that help us combat most maladies.Insomnia: Honey is good to combat this condition, although it may not help very much if you have a civil service appointment the following morning.Headache: Eat lots of fish. The oil in them prevents headaches. Ginger helps as well in reducing inflammation and pain. Trying to get a reservation on a flight to anywhere in summer however does not.Arthritis: Fish again, and lots of it....

Saudi Arabia has world-class cultural heritage sites
Al-JazirahOur country has many ancient monuments and unique historical sites. This heritage is a tourism asset that has remained unused for many years. In the past, cultural and heritage tourism was limited as it was difficult to show others our monuments and historical sites. However, with the radical changes that Saudi Arabia is witnessing today on so many levels, the tourism sector has been reawakened and is opening its arms to everyone from all over the world.The world will soon realize that we are a country with an extraordinarily rich material heritage. We have more than 6,300 cultural heritage locations, many of which are linked to Islamic history and cannot be found in any other part of the Islamic world.There are hundreds of public and private museums spread around different...
