Riyal will not rest in their hand
Published in Alriyadh on 17 - 04 - 2011

In the old era, half century ago, the Arab World was raged by harsh attacks against the royal regimes and that the republics were welcomed along with democracy, equal rights and justice for all the society classes. Two powerful kings – King Faisal and King Hussein – faced this literal and vocal assault not only for them but also for the society as a way to develop it and guarantee the rights of citizens.
Let's focus on the present, the current violent scenes and murders happen in republics whose presidents rule their countries for longer periods than any king especially Al Gaddafi stayed for 42 years thinking himself sometimes as a prophet and sometimes as a leader.
We are not glad to see this deterioration and hope that our Arab societies adopt projects and cooperation plans to reserve our rights and express our views in order to keep up with African and Asian countries that become more developed than us though their conditions were worse.
No body denies that many Arab countries were obliged to go out escaping from their houses to express their refusal to the individual leadership and special merits because there were no other means of expression. This leads us to a question: what about press? To what extent the press was honest? For instance there were many attempts to exploit the naivety of citizens who were presaged fifty years ago with democracy birth. The strangest thing is that there are some media means and writers who are assuming wrong claims as they said that KSA and Israel are cooperating to impact the current events. Just give me an example of this cooperation after declaration of Israel or the claims are connected to another fact: that the persons who lost the Libyan embassy money are now seeking another one. Anyway Saudi embassy will not welcome their smallness: I mean some journalists and writers not the government.
