Qatar mustn't forget the Battle of Al Wajbah. Hopefully Qatar returns to its roots.

Saudi Arabia's KAUST ranked first among 50 leading universities worldwide http://www.arabnews.com/node/1132991/saudi-arabia RIYADH: The King Abdullah University for Science and Technology (KAUST) has been ranked first among 50 leading universities worldwide. It has also ranked 19th among the...

Iran should stop arbitrarily detaining people. Good move by the Trump administration.

I'm a bit of a royalist myself lol. I personally think Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and Yemen would've been much better off as monarchies than as republics. Even the resource-poor monarchies of the Arab World, such as Oman, Jordan and Morocco, are faring better than the oil-rich republics, such as...

I highly doubt it, to be honest, even though it may appear this way at face value. Think about it... If Kuwait's genuinely worried about getting treated like Qatar, then it should go after the Muslim Brotherhood puppets and ISIS/Al-Qaeda sympathizers who infest this country because that's the...

It's the nouveau riche syndrome, in my opinion. Qatar should've learned from Kuwait's mistakes but it didn't. We could've been like Brunei, Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong and many other wealthy countries that focused on building soft power and economic spheres of influence on a global stage...

Regardless of this recent controversy, Saudi Arabia has already begun to liberalize / open up. The religious police lost its arresting powers back in 2016 when Mohammad bin Salman was merely deputy crown prince. He's now officially heir to the throne, so it's only a matter of time before he...

I don't really think Kuwait has benefited from its decision to expel the Palestinians though. I mean, it's not like Kuwait has climbed up the cultural or scientific ladder ever since the government decided to put huge restrictions on the expat communities. In fact, Kuwait has stagnated...

Obviously if you're a security threat then you gotta go. No country will tolerate security threats, but we mustn't punish any nationality because of the actions of a few rotten apples. I just hope the UAE preserves its economic freedoms as well as its globalized/cosmopolitan identity. These are...

Some reports are saying that the 14 suspects are still hiding somewhere in Kuwait. If they really did escape to Iran, then it's as though they are indirectly admitting that they were indeed Iranian/Hezbollah agents. Kuwait is a disaster waiting to happen in my opinion. It has sleeper cells of...

No, just no. One of the best things about the United Arab Emirates is that it has one of the freest and most open economies in the world. I hope it stays that way. The UAE shouldn't put any restrictions on any nationality. It's the most meritocratic country in the Arab World, as well as the...

Fantastic news! This really made my day! MBS is going to open up / liberalize Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia will change for the better under his leadership.

Saudi Arabia’s attack on Qatar unravels A ploy that appears to have been intended to isolate Iran has instead brought Turkey, Iran and Kuwait together in defence of Qatar. http://theduran.com/saudi-arabias-attack-on-qatar-unravels/ A week into the crisis Saudi Arabia instigated when it broke...
