The world after the defeat of Washington
The scenes of thousands of Afghans waiting to be evacuated from the country before US troops leave, will remain stuck in the American and international memory.The painful images of the desperate Afghans at the Kabul airport trying to flee the rule of Taliban will not only be a reminder of the global and the American failure but also trigger another similar images over four decades ago.The chaotic pullout from Kabul relived the scenes of America’s haphazard withdrawal from Saigon in Vietnam in 1975 — despite the vast differences between Afghanistan 2021 and Vietnam 1975.At that time the scene of the hovercraft landing to evacuate American diplomats in Vietnam emerged as a symbol of the global defeat of America and its Western allies. And the scenes at Kabul’s airport will be etched in...

The world after the defeat of Washington

The night when Kabul collapsed
While a flurry of videos was streaming out of the Afghan capital Kabul when the Taliban fighters were consolidating their control over the capital, one video caught my special attention.The leaders of the Taliban movement and all other movements and organizations that claim that they belong to political Islam should contemplate on it well and see how the Afghan people thronged the tarmac of the Kabul International Airport, clinging to the tail of the US military aircraft in the literal sense of the word, unmindful of the fact that this could lead to them to falling to death from great heights.The Afghan people decided to escape from political ideologies that have always imposed their model on the people, which distorted the true image of Islam and made alienate Muslims in front of...

Saudis preserving their unique, Gulf, Arab and Islamic identity
Saudis were not known as people of the Gulf until after the year 1980 when the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) came into being. The GCC was established in extraordinary circumstances to confront the rapid and dangerous changes that suddenly swept the region.This was when the region witnessed three major incidents in the year 1979 — the Soviet Union occupied the Afghan capital Kabul, and became closer than ever to oil deposits on the Gulf coasts; Saddam Hussein turned against President Ahmad Hassan Al-Bakr, seizing the presidency of Iraq; and Khomeini overthrew Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and inherited the dreams of the Persian Empire.What a leap year was 1980, after which major events and developments took place.Saudi Arabia is located almost in the middle of the world, with a wide view of...

Business analytics for call-center representatives (Sauidization)
The strategic decision that has been taken by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development to hire only Saudis inside call centers and providing a Saudi' welcome message, I strongly believe that there are endless possibilities for sustainable growth in this area for the Saudis in the short and long term.The social advantage: citizens' lives while dealing with Saudi clients to solve their problems and take care of their issues would be easier; not harder for the caller and the receiver undoubtedly, this will increase eye-hand coordination.The work advantage: we are expecting to witness improvement in the income related to this sector, considering it the front disk within all governmental and private sectors, knowing that those representing work's entity deserve to be...

Biden’s betrayal of Afghanistan
The US administration has made the worst strategic mistake in its handling of the Afghan crisis.The American experts said the US exit could be sequel to the Vietnam humiliation, while British experts likened it to a disaster similar to what happened in the Suez War in the middle of the last century.Washington had not expected that the government of its ally Afghan President Ashraf Ghani would collapse in Kabul at such a humiliating speed. The American security experts believed that the Taliban would not be able to enter Kabul for at least until after one month.However, developments have accelerated to an extent that it culminated in opening the door to a new global security crisis.It is as if a memory has returned. Let us recall the scenes related to the ambivalent positions of President...

Biden’s betrayal of Afghanistan

Iran and the created chaos
By Malik ObeidThe confrontations that happened during the last days can be understood only within the framework of Iran’s continuous intensive acts to spread chaos in the region.This was evident in the attack on the Israeli cargo ship; then the exchange of shelling between Hezbollah and the Israelis during the anniversary of the bombing of the Beirut port, apart from causing escalation in the tense hotspots in the Middle East, and sending more drones to some regions of Saudi Arabia.All of these did not happen by chance. Rather, it is a deliberate behavior similar to all other Iranian behaviors since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran. However, it seems that the issue has become somewhat different during the last decade, as the Iranian strategy has become dependent on its...

The Pharaohs and the Suez Canal
Some time ago, two monumental events occurred in Egypt consecutively that caught the globe's attention.The first being the huge Japanese Ever Given container ship getting stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking one of the world's most vital trade arteries.During the incident, I did not doubt Egypt's capabilities and skills to unclog the waterway for a moment. With their intellect, they could quickly solve the problem and dislodge the ship with limited losses.Their ingenuity is rooted in their deep history. Egypt was the protector of both Arab and Islamic nations, resisting attempts of invasion and colonialism. This has been manifested in recent history during the October 1973 War when the Egyptian military breached the Israeli Bar-Lev Line in 6 hours, a fortification that was once...

The Tunisian strike on Brotherhood
The only piece of domino that’s left after the collapse of other pieces in the Arab world is the Tunisian Ennahda Movement, which is affiliated to the international Muslim Brotherhood outfit. The constitutional measures taken recently by Tunisian President Kais Saied happened to hammer the final nail in the coffin of political Islam groups in the Arab countries, after the collapse of Brotherhood regimes in Egypt, Sudan and the rest of the Arab world. Ever since the attempts made by Ennahda to change its mottled skin after the success of the Tunisian Revolution in 2011, it has remained under the cloak of electoral democracy brought about by the revolution that toppled former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. But the Tunisian people did not ratify this movement’s claims...

The Tunisian strike on Brotherhood

Tunisia... the last nail in the coffin of extremism?
IN a surprise move, though it was not completely unexpected, Tunisian President Kais Saied exercised his powers to impose exceptional measures in response to what he deemed a threat to the Tunisian state and society. The move was prompted by the recent developments that swept Tunisia in the form of massive protests against deteriorating economic conditions, the state of rampant corruption in the country, and the disastrous fallout of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.Perhaps the question that everyone, whether political forces or specialists, experts and analysts, is trying to answer is divided into two parts. The first is, is there a solid reason to take such measures? The second question is whether these procedures are enough to bring about the required change?Let us leave aside...

Pulling out is not a Saudi trait
Brave, well done, I always trust you; all these are some of the compliments we have been hearing since our childhood for reaching a goal, getting high scores or doing good deeds. These accolades are from parents or friends or from a boss at a work place.It really matters what words of encouragement are needed to push someone forward. And the forthcoming women's +78kg elimination round of 32 judo match at the Tokyo Olympics has got all in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia rallying behind the gutsy judoka, carrying the Kingdom’s hopes.When Tahani AlQahtani, a young Saudi female, takes the mat on Friday against the Israeli female judo champion Hershko Raz in Tokyo Olympics on Friday, the words of encouragement will be the boost that will be driving the Saudi judo star in that crucial...
