COVID-19 and travel outside Saudi Arabia
The decision to suspend domestic and international flights was one of the many important decisions taken by the Saudi government following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and it helped the Kingdom achieve remarkable success in containing it. It was a right and decisive decision at that time just like what the rest of the world did.Many countries have now resumed their international flight operations with strict COVID-19 precautionary measures in place. This is because of the fact that the world cannot continue to remain in a state of disruption for long and humans cannot remain locked down indefinitely.What happened in our case was to grant exemptions for travel abroad for a number of specific groups in accordance with certain definitive conditions. But ever since the announcement...

COVID-19 and travel outside Saudi Arabia

The power of influence
CONTROL over our lives is something we all aspire to have. But in a universe in which everything is so much interconnected, none of us has an absolute control over anything. Rather, what we all have in abundance is influence.But what is influence? To put it briefly, it means to have the power to affect and manipulate things as a thought or decision, and in order to be an influencer, you need to be worthy and trusty.Let me share an inspiring story that deserves to be told as it resonates with the idea of “being influential.” It underlines the importance of Saudi Arabia at the global level and how the Kingdom plays an important role in shaping general opinion and attitude and creating transformational changes in the world.On the other hand, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s...

Boycott and support!
The boycott call for Turkish goods that was made by a Saudi Twitterati becoming a national popular campaign and reaching honest merchants is the manifestation of the loyalty of the Saudi people toward their homeland and their rejection of any attempt to hurt their dignity, as well as the dignity of their homeland and its leadership. The intended support here is the support that must be given to raise the level of production of local goods in order to revitalize our local market, which was inundated with Turkish goods that boosted the Turkish economy to record levels.Additionally, tourism and real estate investments propped their market and that resulted in bringing down sales of some food products of our factories due to unreasonable competition. Therefore, it was imperative to support...

Boycott and support!

It’s freedom, stupid
If James Carville, the election strategist of Bill Clinton’s campaign who coined the famous phrase “it’s the economy, stupid,” was asked what is the phrase governing the US presidential elections in 2020, he might say, “it’s freedom, stupid.”Wait for a moment before jumping to conclusions. The story may be unexpected as Twitter reversed last Friday its decision to block links to an article published by the New York Post, which includes allegations involving Hunter Biden, son of the American Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, and his relations with foreign countries.Vijaya Gadde, head of Twitter’s legal, policy, trust and safety, said in a Twitter thread that the company had decided to make changes to its policy related to hacked materials after the move met with...

Boycott of Turkish products and political suicide of Erdogan
The Turkish people have begun to realize that the policies of the Turkish dictator Erdogan, who is suffering from some kind of paranoia, will cost them dear and will send the Turkish economy into a tailspin. The realization comes as Turkey faces a looming threat of losing important markets for its exports, especially the Saudi market after the “boycott Turkish products” campaign has entered a decisive phase, garnering enthusiastic and popular support. The boycott call has brought about an immediate impact, causing panic among the Turkish exporters.Alarmed by the situation, the Turkish Exporters Assembly, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, and Turkish business groups in various fields have issued a joint statement, calling on the Turkish government to improve its...

Boycott of Turkish products and political suicide of Erdogan

Should we boycott Turkish goods?
A call for the boycott of Turkish goods has been doing rounds on social media over the past few weeks, reflecting a very bad image of Erdogan’s Turkey among members of Arab society.The social media boycott call comes after Turkey lost all its credibility at the level of Arab governments.It is a fact that the Turkish president has recruited most of the radical organizations, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in media campaigns targeting Arab people, and investing in a section of Muslim Brotherhood leaders in order to promote his image and that of his country.In the current scenario, not all of the tools used by the Turkish president would help him clean the ugly face of Turkish politics, which aims to use Arab lives for its regional and international bargains. It was evident when...

First diplomatic certificate!
The recent remarks of Prince Bandar Bin Sultan about the Palestine issue shed light not only on the comprehensive information that he possesses but also a strong statement supported with testimonies, people’s accounts, and official documents. Together with the statement, we need to realize that Saudi Arabia is a sovereign state, and when it decides to normalize or establish relations with anyone, it will not wait for anyone’s opinion or consent.The prince’s appearance and testimony came spontaneously and simply as a former official who was a witness to the history full of events. Though his language was directed at sons and daughters of his country, his speech was blunt and painful for those of us who are accustomed to keep silent and are hesitant to confront ingratitude, denial, and...

Who is a gentleman?
“Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time,” quoted Luigi Pirandello, Italian dramatist, novelist and poet, describing a gentleman. However, from my point of view, humility and intelligence all the time are associated with gentlemen, and having those traits will automatically give a man the right attitude to be attractive.This might sound indelicate for some of you, but I’m addressing the ones that are interested in having a long-term relationship and are looking forward to build a healthy happy life together. This article is going to be a little emotional and, I don’t know why, but this made me feel very sentimental. These sentiments help us understand many things and preferences mainly about others and ourselves on the next...

Understanding the fast-evolving digital culture
Since the beginning of time, different inventions helped shape the human psyche and changed the way human beings saw the world and redefined their relations with their surroundings. The scientific development left an impact on the socio-economic evolution as well. We are currently passing through a similar phase.The digital age may have dawned on us a few decades ago but the explosion of the latest technology and access to the internet has an enormous impact on human societies. A new kind of language and culture is emerging. The pace with which the field is evolving we can say that the digital culture is still in its infancy though growing very fast.The situation calls for more research into the effects of this culture and its findings can help plan better in order to catch up with the...

We become what we repeatedly do
I’m exploring the idea of good habits and how it shapes us. I noticed, and as it seemed to me, that people that I admire have accomplished things that I look up to because of this particular fact — good habits.For example, when we talk about the consistent to positive aspect they have shown that they have followed it routinely and practiced it, and it seems they have formed habits and kept it vey grounded. So, if you are forced to compare yourself with others, then do the comparison between yourself and true masters. I believe the desire to feel good about their lives keeps them inspiring to feed those behaviors and habits.Soon they consider these routines as their actual dear friends that have always prompted love, clarity, and worthiness within them. In early 2020, most of us, I...
