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
On August 15th, 1945, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito addressed the Japanese people in a historic event. 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...

War, peace and unity
War and Peace”, a novel by Russian author Leo Tolstoy, was published between 1865 and 1869 in the Russian correspondent magazine “Russkiy Vestnik”. 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...

Parliamentary life in a democratic system
Parliamentary life in democratic systems is governed by rules and conditions, with one of the most crucial being the ability of the people to choose their leaders for a set period. In some developing countries, including Kuwait, the journey toward full democratic functioning is ongoing. While Kuwait’s parliamentary experience is over 50 years old, it still encounters occasional stumbling blocks due to various reasons. Recently, Kuwait held...

Mohammad Al-Sharekh: Lover of Arabic language
Our Arabic language is a queen crowned over all languages. If Arabs were not weak and divided — and some even hostile to the language - Arabic speakers would be found everywhere and in all arenas, proud of its pronunciation and the beauty of its meanings. Like any crowned queen, Arabic has keepers who guarantee her noble, prestigious life and guards to keep her out of harm’s way. Throughout history, these keepers have worked hard to preserve...
