Japan and Kuwait Unite in a Message of Peace Through Atomic Bomb Exhibition

Japan and Kuwait Unite in a Message of Peace Through Atomic Bomb Exhibition

 This spring, the Japanese Embassy in Kuwait and the Contemporary Art Platform (CAP) are coming together to present an emotionally resonant and historically significant exhibition—The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Exhibition—running from April 29 to May 25, 2025, at CAP’s gallery in the Shuwaikh Industrial Area.

The exhibition, co-hosted with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, and Kuwait’s Embassy in Japan, will provide visitors with a rare opportunity to witness firsthand the enduring scars of the atomic bombings of 1945 through photographs, written accounts, and original documents.

A highlight of the exhibition will be the presence of Hiraoka Sachiko, whose late father survived the Hiroshima bombing. Through her heartfelt talk, visitors will gain an intimate glimpse into the long-lasting emotional and societal toll of nuclear war.

More than just a history lesson, the exhibition is intended as a beacon of peace—an invitation to reflect, remember, and build a future free from the shadow of nuclear weapons. It is particularly directed at inspiring youth to value empathy, compassion, and cooperation across cultures.

The event stands as a testament to the deepening cultural ties between Japan and Kuwait, and their shared hope for a peaceful, humane world.

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. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

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...
