Saudi National Guard upgraded to Ministry

[Bubblegum Crisis]

True to him, not the nation nor the people !

This New ministry with its old and new formation should not be called "National", it should be stated as "Royal".
They protect the king not the people, that is why they are the most paid in governments careers.

Really, only for him ?

And who does that ? Who before him in just 18 years of reign with September 11 attacks in 2001
(15 Saudi al-Qaeda terrorists / 19 hijackers) and Iraq War in 2003 as gifts.

The royal guard is just for the king and too small to defend against riots or rebellions which is the main reason National Guard was created. For internal threats to the royalty.
Like it was used in Qatif more than 30 years ago:
1979 Qatif Uprising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Absolutely not. In fact, the Royal guard is big enough to take care of Him as well as the MOD Minister and other high profile people. The SNAG ,on the other hand, has two duties. First, is to protect our strategic assets within KSA. Second, staying on a high alert in case of any act of external aggression. Yes, the SNG may interfere once in a while ,but I guess it's worth to mention that the current formations the SNAG adopts dismisses claims like protecting an A or B person. And Yes, just like the US National Guard, our SNG may get involve in domestic affairs for the sake of resorting law and order. You know back in the early 60s the US counted heavily on their NG domestically due to the absence of the US military in Vietnam. The same incident took place in the early 90s back then in the West Coast.

The NG work as a homeland security forces against internal or external threats. You forget their role in the battle of Al-khafji? It was the NG not the army.

I couldn't agree more.

True to him, not the nation nor the people !

This New ministry with its old and new formation should not be called "National", it should be stated as "Royal".
They protect the king not the people, that is why they are the most paid in governments careers.

Seriously? Do you know how many people rely on the SNG hospitals? Do you even realize that such an expansion will create more jobs and will lead to privatization in near future? Just for the King? :/ wow -_-
Also, the SNG salaries is in no way to be compared with other governmental agencies like the SIDF and so on.

 

[Mosamania]

King Abdullah places all men worthy of him that will keep his thought legacy. Now, there will not back in rear - for good -.

Glory and prosperity for Saudi Arabia and GCC.

This move has effectively guaranteed that King Abdullah's liberal reforms will not be reserved, and they will in fact keep on going further.

The SANG is a secular organization, and now this Secular organization can go toe to toe with the conservative organization known as the Interior Ministry.

I guess you, Arabian legend, and I find this very unthankful.

Anything that can help the Saudi people is greatly appreciated these days.

red my above post.

 

[Hashshāshīn]

The king's son commands the national guard. Actually he is the minister of the national guard now.
So, in a way, the NG works as the king(dom's) protection from internal opposition.

Serious question to you guys, aren't you tired of the same family controlling your land and everything in your land for more than 80 years?

Musab I don't think that the MOI is a conservative ministry anymore ..

 

[Naifov]

red my above post.

There is nothing secular in protecting kings and not the people. Secularism is not about sponsoring public parties nor it is kicking some shiekhs a$ses. That is an insult to secularism and freedom of thought. This organization rather this gang of soldiers are nothing but an expanded Royal Guards that cares for nothing but the safety of the throne and the realm.

Serious question to you guys, aren't you tired of the same family controlling your land and everything in your land for more than 80 years?

aren't you tired of the same mullahs controlling your country's assets and land for hundreds of years ?

 

[Naifov]

Musab I don't think that the MOI is a conservative ministry anymore ..

According to Mosa's logic, I guess it wasn't conservative even before. The deceased was the owner of the famous Durrah resorts.
That guy was pragmatic, neither having liberal nor motawa views. He fucked both of these groups and manipulated them as he wishes.

No thank you. We simply are not ‘mentally ready’.

Kuwaiti ruler dissolves parliament, sets up vote

By HUSSAIN AL-QATARI

Oct. 7 (2012)
8:07 AM EDT

KUWAIT CITY (AP) - Kuwait's ruler dissolved parliament Sunday, a step toward ending months of political gridlock and calling the second elections this year that could again swing in favor of opposition groups led by Islamist factions.

The move by Kuwait's Western-allied emir, announced on state-run media, followed a failed attempt last month by the government to overturn a voting district law that appeared to favor the opposition. New elections must now be held within 60 days.

Kuwait is one of America's most strategic Gulf military allies. Its strategic importance to Washington rose sharply after the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq in December. It is now the hub for U.S. ground forces in the Gulf region, where the U.S. and its Arab allies seek to counter Iran's military buildup.

Kuwait has been locked in a political limbo for months as the government tried to challenge the voting system in the February elections, which gave Islamists and allies control of the 50-seat parliament. A stopgap parliament, comprising lawmakers elected in 2009, was installed in June, but it never held any sessions.

Opposition leaders had called on Kuwait's ruler, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, to end the impasse and call new elections. Kuwait has the one of the Gulf region's most politically active parliaments. It often clashes with the government over policies and alleged corruption.

Oil-rich Kuwait has not faced widespread unrest since the Arab Spring uprisings erupted last year across the Middle East, but the country has been locked in deepening political battles and labor upheavals that have stalled many development plans.

Kuwait was hit by a wave of strikes earlier this year, including walkouts that grounded the state carrier, Kuwait Airways, and temporarily closed customs posts and left hundreds trucks stranded at the border.

Calls for better working conditions have grown louder in the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings. Kuwaitis are used to well-paid government jobs and cradle-to-grave benefits that increasingly have become a burden on state finances.

 

[al-Hasani]

Serious question to you guys, aren't you tired of the same family controlling your land and everything in your land for more than 80 years?

Let me tell you something. I am from Hejaz. My family were relatives to the Hashemites who were Sharifs of Makkah and who ruled the Kingdom of Hejaz. I remember how, when my great-grandfather was still alive (may Allah (swt) bless his soul) told us stories about Hejaz etc. before the unification of modern day KSA. Times have changed and we have all realized, regardless of region, that the movement of the people (which it was) was very beneficial for the future of this country. Overall the rulers have a very high approval and loyalty which was always the case. I am not going to say that they are without faults and that mistakes have not been committed but one just has to look at our history in the last 80 years. Has it been peaceful and in a constant progress? Yes. Have the lives of the people constantly become better? Yes. Have the country evolved faster than anyone else, more or less? Yes. Are most people satisfied? Yes. Are there some problems? Yes of course like in every country. Are they being dealt with? Yes.

Could I have wished to change something if I could go back in time? Yes, like 99 percent of all Saudis would. Am I positive for the future? Yes.

Also the Al-Saud family have a 300 year old history in Najd. They were not foreign conquerors who came without any approval from the people and just decided to rule.

Monarchies work better in the Middle East and in the Arab countries and just looking at the monarchies is a testament of that.

Anyway only Allah (swt) knows the future and we will have to wait and see and pray for the best.

King Abdullah is a very respected and popular father figure across the country and we hold him in very high esteem as it should be.

That's not true. He wasn't the owner of Durrah, and I would greatly appreciate refraining from talking about people who passed away, especially HIM

I only said he was smart , I can't praise him if he is dead ?
Manipulating people means he was smart enough to do that. I actually like him as he fucked the terrorist and many of them are rotting in prison.

Anyway, he never owned the Durrah. It's his Son's

Until they disband the terrorist organization known as Al-Hai'ah they will look conservative to me.
