A Sporting Event with Unexpected Highlights: Saudi Games 2023

 


The biggest sporting event of the year, the Saudi Games, which will begin on November 26 and run through December 10, is being prepared for in Saudi Arabia. In a wide range of 53 sports, including specific divisions for Paralympic sports and junior events, almost 6,000 committed athletes—both male and female—are seriously training.

The incredible prize amount for this round, which totals more than 200 million riyals, is what makes it stand out. Silver and bronze medal winners will receive 300,000 and 100,000 riyals, respectively, while gold medal winners will receive one million riyals. With prizes of 100,000 riyals for gold, 50,000 riyals for silver, and 25,000 riyals for bronze, the junior champions are not left out either.

The Saudi Games' organizers are going above and beyond to make this year's competition even more remarkable than the last. The prior success of the event has only strengthened their resolve to produce an outstanding event. The event's importance in defining Saudi Arabia's sporting character is shown by its commitment to promotion and growth, which includes the building of new sports facilities in Riyadh, even though the place and schedule are yet unknown. Over 200 clubs from all over the country participated in the Saudi Games last year, participating in 45 various sports, including Paralympic events, and winning big money in the process.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period.

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
