Sept. 11 is not out of context
Let us briefly review what had happened in those years; I mean before and after Sept. 11, 2001 when Al-Qaida terrorists struck the United States. This is also an attempt to put Sept. 11 in its chronological context.In 1991, Saudi Arabia revoked the citizenship of Osama Bin Laden when he refused to return to the Kingdom, and it was known at the time that he was the one who directed and supported terrorist operations from his place of residence in Sudan. In 1996, he left for Afghanistan and officially assumed the role of emir of this terrorist organization, and the name Al-Qaida appeared to us later.In 1993, Ramzi Yousef, a Pakistani national, attempted to bring down a tower of the World Trade Center in New York by driving a medium-sized truck into the tower’s garage and blowing it up. The...

KAUST... a Saudi University in a new world
By Ibrahim AbdulmajeedTwo months ago, I received two issues of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) publications from a fellow Saudi journalist Mr. Ali Makki Idris. What caught my attention upon reading them was the sense of modernity of life in the “new Saudi Arabia”.I was astonished by the level of scientific and cultural progress of many of its youth. This holds true to all young and adult Saudis that I happen to see on the media or those I interviewed in Egypt and abroad. I also knew that KAUST participated in Cairo International Book Fair 2021 with a professional crew, including Mr. Idris, who is constantly active and highly knowledgeable of KAUST.I learned from going through these two magazines that KAUST is a Saudi university that has been actively...

Role of Saudi women in enhancing the status of trade in Kingdom
For a long time, the Saudi women population remained an unutilized and unconsidered human resource. However, if this human resource can get incorporated into nation-building, it can be pivotal to Saudi’s economic development. Traditionally, these women face various barriers that limit their economic potential in accelerating, substantively, Saudi Arabia’s economy. These barriers include family’s domestic obligations, place, nature of work, cultural norms, unfavorable working conditions, lack of awareness, vocational and technical training.However, currently, Saudi Arabia’s government is aggressively and gradually eliminating these barriers that barred women from engaging in wealth creation and the nation’s economic building. Today’s Saudi Arabia is currently giving women more...

Partnerships to develop talents and businesses
Talents are always admired and competence is a quest as everyone wants to be the best at what they do. In conversations with talented people, many will speak fondly about certain times when someone showed them the ropes to be able to excel at what they are great at today. This could be a family member, friend, a mentor, an employer, a teacher, or a trainer. While the success of these individuals in mastering their craft came after their determination and dedication, the role of other people as enablers is essential in early stages. It is not that easy to choose a line of work that people can build their competency around even if they decide what is it that they want to do. College education alone is not sufficient to meet the requirement of the market, thus, graduates supplement their...

We can all play our part in a greener future
Saudi Arabia is going to turn green over the coming decades — literally, with 10 billion trees set to be planted in our communities. But this is just a small part of the big changes to our lifestyles that are aimed at improving the planet for future generations. When Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman unveiled the Saudi Green Initiative and the Green Middle East Initiative, it was a call for all of us to act now to make tomorrow better. Like every country in the world, we are facing a climate emergency, and must do our best to protect our planet. But how can each citizen play their part in making this happen? One way will be helping with the drive to divert 94 percent of waste away from landfill in the coming years. Of the items we throw away, the most common are food waste,...

When can we go back to normal?
For a year now, there’s been no unhindered exercising at the gym. No vacations. No visiting with friends. And no long lunches out at our favorite restaurants, once a thrice-weekly indulgence.After the pandemic started last February, we ceased all normal activities and have been trapped in a bubble.But now that we’ve received our second dose of the vaccine, can we resume normal activities? What is it safe to do?With nearly 3 million doses given in our country now against COVID-19, many ask the same questions. Should they hug their grandchildren? Attend gathering? Go shopping? What about having plumbers and electricians inside their homes? Or flying?COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting you from getting sick. Based on what we know about COVID-19 vaccines, people who have been...

Judicial reforms on the way
A radical re-establishment of laws and legislations in a clear, specific and accurate manner, thus the basis for the work of the judiciary, is to implement the clear laws issued.This enables beneficiaries to predict judgments, raises the level of integrity and efficiency of the performance of judicial agencies, increases confidence in procedures and controls mechanisms, as they are integral in achieving justice, imposing limits to judicial responsibility and stabilizing legal references.In consequence, judges' discretionary authority to impose penalties and judgments that were primarily based on their experiences and trials are now limited.Additionally, judges will be restricted in their judgments due to previous vague judgments that have led to the discrepancy of rulings and the lack...

Identifying real and reliable partners to serve mutual interests
The New York Times newspaper published on Feb. 16, 2011, leaked some of the contents of the classified document titled “Presidential Study Directives 11 (PSD 11)” prepared by the US National Security Agency. The newspaper indicated that the document recommended sacrificing a number of political regimes in the Middle East that have become a threat to US interests.Clare Lopez, a former CIA operative, confirmed during a Congressional hearing that this document called for the use of America’s capabilities to support the overthrow of allied governments and handing over power to the Muslim Brotherhood organization in Egypt and North Africa, as well as to enable Iran to control the Arabian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula.During the past two months, the new American administration hastened to...

Fundamentals of Saudi–US relations won’t be transformed into variables
THE historic Saudi-American relationship was not decided by the current administration in the United States. These strategic ties came into a reality when two of the world’s great men King Abdulaziz and President Franklin Roosevelt met in 1945 aboard the ship USS Quincy. That meeting witnessed the laying down of basic rules for a strategic relationship that is impossible to be compromised for strategic reasons concerning not only the two countries but also for the international stability and safeguarding of the global system.The political status of the Saudi leadership is not tested in the new unacceptable report in all its details, whether at the international or popular level, as the Saudi society shows unflinching loyalty to the institution of governance in Saudi Arabia led by...
