  • Movies in Saudi
    In Saudi, we always found ways to watch new films

    I can’t help but fondly remember my childhood in Saudi, when sellers of pirated DVDs would come visiting with a “bag” of surprises. The phone numbers for the sellers with the “best quality” goods were very tightly guarded and were only exchanged among trusted friends. When they came around or customers went to them, it was such a dramatic experience, in which we used coded terms such as: “So, you have what I asked for?” The seller would nod and look around before handing over the carefully wrapped-up goods.

  • Kobani Defense
    Rebel troops boost Kobani defense

    Up to 200 Syrian rebels have arrived in Kobane to help defend the northern border town against Islamic State (IS) militants, a Free Syrian Army (FSA) commander there has told the BBC. All were fighting under the flag of the Western-backed FSA, he said. The news came as about 150 Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighters arrived in Turkey on their way to the town. Syrian Kurds have been under siege in Kobane for six weeks, aided by US-led coalition air strikes.

  • Camel Products
    Could your next burger be camel meat?

    Camel is not the easiest product to work with. As a meat, it tends to be lean and tough -- not the most amenable for hot dogs and burgers. The milk is also half the fat of cow's milk -- a quality that makes it ideal for the health conscious but less so when you're concocting a recipe for chocolate.

  • Kobani
    Only Syrian opposition and peshmerga can save Kobani: Turkish PM

    Turkey cannot be expected to send troops to defend the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani and only Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters and Syria's own moderate opposition can save it, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said. U.S. warplanes have been bombing Islamic State positions near Kobani for weeks, but air strikes alone will not be enough to repel the insurgents, Davutoglu said.

    Kuwait Said to Deny Work Permits for Saudi Chevron Field Staff

  • Abu Dhabi Conference
    Abu Dhabi Strategic Debate: Conference Report

    Dr. Gargash set the tone for the conference, in my view, when he stated, “Over the past few years, the UAE has repeatedly warned about the growing threat that extremist actors and ideologies pose to our region.  While some of our allies thought that we were being too alarmist, the rise of Daesh [ISIS] confirms the magnitude of the threat.  Instead of becoming moderated through engagement, so-called ‘moderate Islamists’ are increasingly being drafted into the ranks of radical groups.  This demonstrates the fallacy of trying to distinguish between ‘moderate’ and ‘radical’ forms of ideological extremism.
