Today's Saudi press highlighted a wide-range of issues covering the domestic, Arab and international arenas. Okaz newspaper wrote an editorial on the 7th anniversary of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's ascension to the throne. Since his allegiance-pledge by the people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the faith to the nation has become an extraordinary case in Saudi Arabia amid a world of turmoil and chaos around our nation, the paper said, adding that the evidence for this is the unique consensus on the leadership of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz. On the same topic, Al-Bilad said a thorough review of the past seven years of the reign of the King reflects his prudent wisdom and in-depth experience that give to birth wise decisions tackling local, regional and international issues. For its part, Al-Riyadh discussed unemployment in Saudi Arabia, citing an IMF report showing the some 3000000 will be jobless in the GCC area over the coming five years. Given this horrible figure, the problem is more that seeking a job for a jobless, the paper said. It extends to touch the security and ethics of the society, the newspaper reported, adding that it is unacceptable that giant conglomerates siphon billions of Riyals while refusing to offer a single job for a Saudi national. The newspaper called for enforcing the most toughest punishment on such uncooperative corporates. --More
