The Houthis must be dealt with forcefully
OkazWe said it before and we say it again, we should never assume good intentions from the outlaw militia Houthis who are occupying Yemen with the full support of the Iranian National Guard and the Lebanese gang of Hezbollah. All previous attempts to reach a peaceful solution to the Yemeni problem have failed because the Houthis do not want any political solution.To be more specific, they do not have the power to make a decision because they only do what they are told by Tehran. They are only Yemeni in name; their allegiance is to Iran. This is the worst betrayal of the Yemeni people in its long Arab history.Before the talks in Sweden, the Houthi group showed signs of stalling, which was an indication that these talks would end like previous ones. The United Nations insisted on these talks...

It is time to Saudize all grocery stores
Al-JazirahIn my opinion, there would be many benefits in Saudizing grocery stores. It is estimated that it would generate more than 35,000 job opportunities for Saudi youth. It would also put an end to tasattur or cover-up businesses in which expatriates run and control a business usually in exchange for a fee paid to the registered Saudi owner.There are real opportunities for our youth to privately invest in and own shops. Families could come together and buy a grocery shop and take turns managing it.In order for this type of Saudization to succeed, it is a must to Saudize the jobs of sales representatives for food companies, so that the whole mechanism is complete. We all know the role played by sales representatives in food companies in supporting their own nationalities in the grocery...

The biggest security threats in 2019
With an ongoing trade war between the United States and China, Russian military posturing in Eastern Europe at its greatest since the Cold War and the most unpredictable US administration in living memory, 2019 may offer no shortage of strategic surprises.Here are some of the key areas to watch in the coming 12 months.A new “big three” meeting?With all the attention in Washington on the government shutdown and disputes over border funding, Trump has said little more on his December tweet that seemed to advocate a three-way conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. Such a meeting, the president suggested, might offer the opportunity to stem a major global arms race. What worries America’s allies - and many in the national security community -...

The treatment of Saudi tourists in Arab countries
Al-Riyadh newspaperI met Prince Sultan Bin Salman many years ago. I found in his character the love for discovery. This was what led him later to space, as the first Arab Muslim astronaut.His love for discovery was not limited to the edge of space. He turned his attention to undiscovered treasures in his country and decided to explore them. Today his great journey to the archaeological sites in our country, which were in desperate need of attention, has resulted in a long list of famous tourism and archaeological locations. Saudi tourists who for many years explored world archaeological sites thinking that there was nothing like them in their own country can now visit these archaeological sites.Prince Sultan explored the treasures of Saudi Arabia that have existed for many centuries, and...

Goodbye to the Prince of development charity
With the departure of Prince Talal Bin Abdul Aziz, the systematic charity work aimed at achieving sustainable development has lost one of its icons and staunch supporters. The late Prince was keen on achieving the development of Arab and Islamic societies, especially the poor, the destitute, the youth and women among them.Prince Talal exerted all his efforts and spent a lot of time and wealth to achieve these noble goals in both direct and indirect ways. Toward achieving these goals, he established the Arab Gulf Program for the United Nations Development (AGFUND) to support sustainable human development efforts in the developing world, especially in the Middle East. The Program focused largely on promoting the activities of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).This does not mean...

What is the role of Turkey in Syria?
Okaz newspaperOne of the main reasons for the Syrian revolution against the regime of Bashar Al-Assad was the support they received from regional countries, especially Turkey, who took a strong stand against the Syrian regime at the start of the revolution. This drove many Syrians to make huge sacrifices in the hope that they could create the country they were dreaming of, as was promised by neighboring countries.When the first red line by the former US President Barack Obama was broken, international support for the Syrian people and the desire to protect them from genocide began to decline. Despite the many victories achieved on the ground, Russian intervention not only turned the tables, but it exposed the stands of many regional countries that were claiming to protect the interests of...

The Kingdom’s humanitarian mission in Yemen and beyond
For as long as I can remember, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always lent a helping hand whenever and wherever a crisis hit. Our leadership has made it a regular practice for the Kingdom to lead by example and serve as torchbearers in the humanitarian field, whether through righteous support initiatives or generous financial backing, having provided over $80 billion in foreign aid since 1996. In the face of tragedy, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always been there for its allies, big and small, near and far. And with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman Bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman at the helm, the Kingdom’s global humanitarian presence has only grown.In May 2015, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) was established. Supported...

Marrying a foreigner!
Marriage is one of the most critical decisions a person can make. It not only affects one’s life with a partner, but the consequences include families and children, for what may last a lifetime. You might listen to the advice of others, follow rules and regulations, but ultimately it is up to your heart and mind.Should anyone have the final say on whom you choose as your partner for life? Many GCC nationals face this question every day. An unjustifiable sense of superiority makes it difficult for the sons and daughters of prominent tribes and families, and even superior branches of such tribes and families, to marry from outside their tribe. In some cases, a girl cannot marry anyone unless her first cousin agrees to release his hold on her!Added to this traditional problem is a more...

Passengers suffer at the Kingdom’s airports
Al-Jazirah newspaperWe suffer when we travel through our airports, especially King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah. Upon arrival at Jeddah airport, passengers can wait for their luggage for hours, because three or more flights have all arrived at the same time. Travellers will have two choices, either to hire someone to help at the airport to receive the luggage while waiting, or to serve themselves and also wait. Few chairs are available and it is hard to find a place to sit.Even when you receive your luggage, you will find it dusty and in bad shape and possibly damaged. I do not know what airport officials are doing behind their desks while people in the overcrowded airport halls are tired and complaining. I do not know how long people will continue to suffer when they are...

Perfect storm!
A number of respected economists and financial analysts consider that what is happening now in different areas around the world is the beginning of a perfect storm in the global economy.Citing the continued turmoil in the US stock market, General Motors has announced that it intends to shut down a number of its factories in the US and lay off a large number of employees. Meanwhile, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan has warned that 2019 could be catastrophic for the world economy with everyone fleeing and taking refuge.Then there is the fact that the price of oil, a very important and influential commodity, has dropped dramatically in a very short period of time, indicating a large oversupply in world markets. This, of course, has negative implications for traditional oil...
