The new Syria
Syria holds cherished memories for many Kuwaitis, having once been a favored destination for Gulf families during the 1950s and 1960s. The Levant, with Damascus at its heart, stood as a beacon of culture, history and Arab unity. Its decline under the weight of tyranny and foreign interference marked a painful chapter for the Arab world, forcing countless Syrians to flee in search of safety and stability. For many Arabs, it was as though a part of...

Propaganda and the abyss
Propaganda is among the most powerful tools used by nations. It influences the masses, provides them with material to feed on, and becomes especially critical during times of war—whether to unify internal ranks or to demoralize the enemy. But today, in some countries, propaganda has become everything. It is no longer just a tool; it is the hidden weapon used to shape consciousness and manipulate emotions. In our time—and in our region in...

Preparing for the risk of radioactive contamination
Radioactive leaks represent a significant threat to both the environment and the communities surrounding the Arabian Gulf. It is therefore essential to take immediate and coordinated action to mitigate these risks. Regional and international cooperation must be strengthened to ensure the safety of our water sources and marine ecosystems, and to shield future generations from the consequences of radioactive contamination—particularly considering...

This is Kuwait: Patient aid adapts to new regulations
In a changing global economy, skyrocketing medical costs have become a growing concern for many patients and their families. Medical treatments — especially for chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease — have become an unbearable financial burden for many. And yet, Kuwait stands out as one of the few countries whose generosity extends to all who live on its land — citizens and residents alike — offering basic medical treatment...

How binary thinking reshapes our world
By nature, human beings are considered social creatures. Yet, in reality, we tend to be more “team-oriented” than truly social. From the moment we enter the world, society begins to shape us—not to engage openly with diverse ideas, but to pick a side. Whether in sports or politics, we are taught to align ourselves with one of two camps. In Kuwait’s sports scene, local football passion is sharply divided between Al-Qadisiyah and Al-Arabi....

Rising colon cancer cases highlight urgent need for awareness
Cancer remains one of the most pressing health and social challenges confronting modern societies, with colorectal cancer emerging as a significant concern in Kuwait. According to recent health statistics, colon cancer ranks as the most common type of cancer among men and the second most prevalent among women in the country. In 2020 alone, 289 men and 119 women in Kuwait were diagnosed with the disease. This alarming trend underscores the urgent...

Hidden retirement
In the medical profession, retirement can take several forms. A physician may step back from clinical practice to take on an administrative role, retire entirely from public service without continuing in the private sector, or — most concerning — cease engaging with scientific progress while continuing to practice. It is the third category that presents the greatest risk to patients and the healthcare system alike. The essence of this concern...

Chronic disease is a global challenge
Chronic or non-communicable diseases - namely cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory illnesses and diabetes - are among the leading causes of death globally. These conditions, which develop over long periods, are responsible for over 60 percent of all deaths worldwide, claiming approximately 36 million lives annually, including nearly a quarter of victims under the age of 60. Recognizing the gravity of this threat, world leaders...

Water and froth: Finding truth in a world of illusions
Water and froth or origin and image are expressions that all aim to sensitize man to the truth of life. The life of each one of us is an asset — an asset that reflects the truth of our existence and its purpose — and an image, like the reflection of light, a fantasy that we should ignore and not let distract us from the ultimate goal of our life. Sometimes we must stay away from the arena of conflicts that surround us from all sides:...

A new dawn of awareness in the Arab world
In a region long overshadowed by misinformation and manipulation, a new era of awareness is emerging — signaling the gradual end of an age marked by unconsciousness and misguided loyalties. This awakening promises to bring clarity and unity to a nation that has endured decades of exploitation under the guise of noble causes. For years, tyrants cloaked their rule in the rhetoric of liberating Palestine, while they governed their own people with...

The real battle in our region: Choosing peace over war
Peace is the demand of the common people, but peace is the enemy of war mongers. He who seeks peace for his nation can fulfill the hopes of his people, while he who seeks war succeeds in achieving great benefits for a few at the expense of all. This conflict — between a few powerful beneficiaries and the masses yearning for stability — began with the creation of man and will not end until mankind itself comes to an end. As with any conflict,...

Age of documentation
In the near future, a passerby may simply raise their phone, capture an image of your vehicle violating traffic rules and instantly transmit it to the nearest traffic control center. Within moments, a patrol car will arrive, tow the vehicle and you may find yourself chasing after it — unable to dispute what has already been digitally witnessed and archived. Every word, every action, even the way you walk on an empty street, may be captured,...
