Ghannouchi, Khashoggi and other goals

Mashari Althaydi

It’s as if the scene is repeating itself. It’s as if we’re at the beginning of media chaos and flaring Brotherhood incitement; the season of the Arab Spring or Arab chaos. In the past two days, Rached Ghannouchi spoke before his supporters from the Tunisian Ennahda Movement, the special Tunisian version of the Brotherhood. Ghannouchi likened the consequences of JamalRead more

Fire flaring up between Trump and the Left

Mashari Althaydi

The series of the attacks via suspicious packages that targeted figures and institutions that are extremely hostile to American President Donald Trump clearly show the extent of the deep division in the American society as we near inflamed mid-term elections. President Trump logically commented on these attacks as a president and said that the federal government is conducting an advancedRead more

An "artificial" storm and the reality of Saudi Arabia

Mashari Althaydi

Yesterday in Riyadh, the scene was different despite the “crisis” the country is going through due to the unfortunate death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The political machinations of the case are well known and has angered the leadership, which has launched an investigation into the case and revealed the details. It could have been more astonishing if Saudi ArabiaRead more

Saudi media and the Khashoggi battle

Mashari Althaydi

Has the Qatari-Muslim Brotherhood media won against Saudi media and against the media that loves Saudi Arabia in the Khashoggi battle? It’s a direct question and answering it is not as easy as it seems to those who shallowly look at matters without finding the joy (and I am not saying the ‘chore’) of diving deeper into matters. Yes, itRead more

Saudi Arabia’s message: Enough is enough!

Mashari Althaydi

The mad campaign, and this is the sincerest description of it, against Saudi Arabia in the past few days required a firm response from Saudi Arabia, and so it happened. It is unreasonable for foreign ministers in Europe or members of respectable parliaments, as well as in America, to agree with Al Jazeera channel’s nonsense and its anchors’ insults. EvenRead more

Wars of chaos against Egypt and Saudi Arabia

Mashari Althaydi

During the ceremony that the Egyptian armed forces held for the 45th anniversary of their October 6 war victory, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi addressed important points, including the arrest of Hisham al-Ashmawy, the most dangerous Egyptian terrorist leader. He was behind plenty of tragedies that harmed the Egyptian people’s security, of which the most despicable targeted security forces and innocentRead more

Tunisia’s Ennahda and the secret apparatus

Mashari Althaydi

Unidentified gunmen assassinated leftist Tunisian politician Mohamed Brahmi, who opposes the Tunisian Brotherhood Ennahda Movement. He was fatally shot in front of his house in Tunis. Few months before that, Chokri Belaid, the official in the Popular Front and who also opposed Ennahda and its government, was also killed. Who assassinated the two politicians who oppose Ennahda? Nothing is clearRead more

Delegations, crowds and aged cigars!

Mashari Althaydi

It’s said that if you visit a country, the behavior of drivers, the extent of cleanliness in public parks, squares and means of public transportation are the best indicator of the people’s morals and culture as you cannot gather and test every person and family there. This standard seems logical and convincing in general, but more specifically, how can weRead more

"Al-Jaafari" Iraq’s international speaker

Mashari Althaydi

As usual, Iraq’s great philosopher Ibrahim al-Eshaiker, popularly known as al-Jaafari, manifested himself this time at the world’s main podium, the UN’s podium during the General Assembly’s annual session. Abu Ahmad, the thinker, preacher and visionary, bedazzled the world with his knowledge and eloquence, entertained his international audience and made an error when he spoke of a figure who livedRead more

Saudi Arabia is not an electoral football

Mashari Althaydi

There are countries that represent historic values, geographic locations, cultural weights and symbolic signs. And “perhaps” a massive population or financial or economic power is added to all of that. Among these countries are the US, Russia and India. And Saudi Arabia of course “for some” of these previous considerations, if we take out the factor of massive population. OfRead more
