Tobacco industries and the conflict of interest
The tobacco industry plays a dangerous role in disrupting real development, particularly in less developed countries, as tobacco and its derivatives are the true enemies of human health. The more money the tobacco industry makes, the more money countries spend in order to treat their citizens for tobacco-related diseases. This phenomenon affects third-world countries more.The owners of tobacco companies and their subsidiaries are mostly from...

Kuwait’s extreme heat: A practical solution needed
Summer in Kuwait gets on people’s nerves. The temperatures are above what human beings can bear, particularly after what civilization has done - in exposing humans to various radiations. Among practical solutions to this extreme heat in Kuwait is a proposal to boost agriculture and bring in sea water through separate bays.We basically need a solution to this issue. The idea of planting enough trees is a welcome development. This will balance...

World is waiting for ‘the change’
There is a detachment from the human conscience and that of the political interest—a detachment where you can clearly see racism and oppression increasing among people. The world is watching the killing and devastation by the Zionist entity against the unarmed Gazans, and despite the arguments of the Zionist leaders and linking their barbarism to the attack on the Zionist entity on October 7th, 2023, the inhumane Zionists’ reaction truly...

The final goal
A war has begun in some Gulf countries and has spread to other Arab nations — a war against the Arabic language. Commercial outlets and restaurants do not display even a single Arabic word in their names, whether projected or hidden. If an American were to visit our countries, he might be astonished by this love for a foreign language, a phenomenon not seen in other countries.The official language of our states is being sidelined, not even...

Only our nails will scratch our skin

In his speech that lasted for just few minutes, Emperor Hirohito used the Japanese classical language to speak about the enemy’s use of new lethal weapons. He confirmed the approval of what came out of the Potsdam conference without mentioning his country’s surrender.Emperor Hirohito called on the Japanese people to maintain their unity and...

Time between fact and shadow
There are those who complain about the speed and time as if their watches run at maximum speed. Those who complain about the fast movement of years are those who didn’t achieve much, as time is not measured by the watch movement; rather, it is measured by what a man or woman leaves behind. We wake up and go to work, then return home, and we create time for entertainment, a vacation, or an adventure. As this cycle is repeated, we end up...

The fourth estate
We have often heard about the decline of daily newspapers, with many attributing this to the rise of social media. However, in Kuwait, there is a recent resurgence in the launch of daily newspapers. Following the latest speech by HH the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, may Allah protect him, the significance of Article 36 of the constitution has been highlighted. This article decisively states that “Freedom of opinion and...

Kuwait my country, may you be safe and glorious!
There are pivotal moments in the life of a nation, where some individuals may not prioritize their homeland, and others may be misled, betraying their country and sowing discord. Both forget that the homeland is our refuge and security; without it, we’re like aimless feathers drifting in the wind. Protecting the homeland is a shared responsibility among all its people, whether leaders or citizens, each playing a crucial role in safeguarding the...

Enemies of Arab nation
We should not exert much effort in searching for our enemies, for if we wish to identify the adversaries of our nation, we need only look around us. Among us, there are many who wear the same attire and speak our language, yet they hinder our progress. What would the world see if it looked around us? Wars raging in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Libya; Arab migrants enduring torture even in Arab lands; profound divisions among the people...

Visionary leaders
You can purchase anything you desire if you possess wealth. You can even establish factories, import equipment and labor, but true self-reliance comes from manufacturing essential goods, developing production capabilities and nurturing skilled labor domestically. This stark contrast distinguishes between consumer nations, which exhaust their budgets and regress to square one, and developed, productive nations.We need visionary leaders who...

The novel recounts the story of Russian society during Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Russia in 1812. Initially, it focused on a limited Russian plot but evolved into a work of world literature, depicting events among characters representing human diversity, particularly during periods of...

Where is Kuwait’s beauty?
The measure of success for strategic plans lies in active participation in the implementation process. Conversely, centralization signifies failure. In Kuwait, we have six governorates, each delineated by clear boundaries marked by signs in the streets (eg, welcome to Ahmadi governorate). However, these signs hold little significance as governors lack sufficient authority over their respective geographical areas. As a result, there is little to...
