Mohammed bin Salman has introduced reforms in Saudi Arabia as part of his 2030 vision to diversify the economy and reduce dependence on oil.

Content: In June, Saudi Arabia, along with two other Gulf states and Egypt, began putting pressure on Qatar on the grounds that Doha was providing financial support for international terrorism.
Saudi Arabia ’ s statements against Qatar could be taken as a joke, given that Riyadh itself has long financed the spread of fundamentalist Salafi Islam, which is often associated with extremism, writes Ayaan Hirsi Ali in an article for The New York Times.
Ivan Shilov IA REGNUM
The Saudis
On the one hand, Saudi Arabia ’ s actions against Qatar can be called a classic example of “whose cow is moaning ”.
On the other hand, Riyadh could use the smokescreen of the diplomatic crisis around Qatar to divert attention from the growing tensions within its own kingdom.

The newly appointed crown prince of the Saudi throne, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, has promised to modernize the country ’ s economy, which includes measures to diversify the national economy to reduce its dependence on oil prices, expand trade, increase employment and eliminate some restrictions in public life.
However, within Saudi Arabia there are two factors that could put all plans of the crown prince in jeopardy.
First, the crown prince has a rival who can challenge him.
This is the former Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef Al Saud, whom in November 2017 Mohammed bin Salman placed under house arrest and froze all his bank accounts.
The current crown prince has taken a very bold step, even by the standards of the royal dynasty.
However, Mohammed bin Nayef, who previously headed the secret intelligence of Saudi Arabia, can be a very dangerous enemy.

Saudi Arabia
Second, Mohammed bin Salman ’ s grand strategic reform plan, known as Vision 2030, poses a direct threat to the prestige and authority of the Wahhabi clergy in Saudi Arabia.
The clergy have influence, and they have a motive to try to thwart the Crown Prince ’ s plans.
If private enterprise begins to strengthen its position through reforms, the resources and influence of the clergy will decrease, therefore, the opportunities for retaining control over the kingdom will be reduced.
For centuries, the royal family relied on the support of the Wahhabi clergy to ensure the religious legitimacy of the ruling dynasty.
If modernization threatens to destroy the authority of the clergy, how long will it remain submissive to the crown prince?
Earlier, the crown prince made it clear that the influence of the clergy could become an obstacle to economic growth and reduce the dependence of the Saudi economy on oil.
In case of resistance of the clergy, the Crown Prince promised to take appropriate measures.
Most likely, the clergy will begin to openly resist the Westernization of the country with the same zeal with which Saudi Arabia seeks to attract foreign investors.
Since 1973, the Saudi government and its semi-official “charities ” have spent billions of dollars spreading Wahhabi ideology abroad.
The continuation of such a policy would be detrimental to the efforts of the international community to combat radicalization.
Saudi clerics have a powerful social network that provides a direct link to their supporters across the country.
The clergy can use this platform to undermine the plans of the Crown Prince and the position of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.
In this regard, there is a risk of fomenting unrest in a country with a high youth unemployment rate.
In an effort to stifle dissent, in September 2017, Saudi Arabia detained several influential clerics who opposed Saudi Arabia ’ s position on Qatar.
In November, the fight continued, only under the guise of anti-corruption purges, in which more than 200 officials, large businessmen and members of the royal family were detained.

Riyadh
Saudi Arabia ’ s Wahhabi clerics have extensive ties to Islamist organizations around the world.
Qatar can use these ties to discredit the crown prince in the eyes of international public opinion.
As a response to diverting attention from Saudi Arabia, Riyadh may intensify the conflict with Qatar.
The stakes are very high.
If the crown prince manages to carry out modernization, it will strike a blow to radical Islamism.
If modernization plans fail, the country could roll back several decades, continuing to export extremism abroad.
From the point of view of most Middle Eastern political players, any compromise is seen as a disgrace to the country.
Instead of accepting an ultimatum from Saudi Arabia, such as closing the news agency and severing ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar has only strengthened its alliance with Iran and Turkey.
Back in June 2017, the diplomatic crisis around Qatar seemed like a minor event in the Middle East, in 2018 it could trigger a big conflict.

Content: Moderate ideology: The silent Saudi revolution

Sports events, movie screenings, art exhibitions and music concerts are becoming increasingly common in the kingdom, and Saudi citizens are lapping them all up.

Published: 25th July 2023 12:34 AM  |   Last Updated: 25th July 2023 12:45 AM   |  A+A-

It has been ‘work in progress’ for some time now. Saudi Arabia is changing the tone and texture of its ideology from what has always been considered obscurantist to something that keeps with the times. Sports events, movie screenings, art exhibitions and music concerts are becoming increasingly common in the kingdom, and Saudi citizens are lapping them all up.

The kingdom has rapidly secured its position as a centre for cultural events, art exhibitions and film screenings. The nation’s Vision 2030 envisages and fully supports the expansion of the entertainment market to SR30 billion. Almost every domain of entertainment for which Saudi citizens earlier travelled far and wide is now available at home. This is thanks to a break from the past that the de facto ruler, Mohammad bin Salman (MbS), the Crown Prince, has initiated. It makes eminent sense in a nation seeking to develop itself beyond the energy sector with three visionary themes: a vibrant society, a thriving economy and continuity in terms of ambition in comprehensive development.

All this translates into a modern civilisational outlook with technology, intellectualism, private investment, trade, tourism, academics and more, all becoming the prime domains of functioning. The traditional worldwide perception of Saudi Arabia as the centre of the obscurantist ideology of Islam and a nation with an anti-reformist outlook has persisted, and not without reason. A brief understanding of this is important to appreciate the degree of change that Prince MbS has been able to generate.

As the custodian of the Holy Shrines of Mecca and Medina and the land where Islam’s first message was delivered, the Saudi rulers and clergy have always been all-powerful, even more so after adopting the core ideology expounded by Saudi thinker Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. There is a long history behind this.

A virtual pact between the powerful clergy and the Royal Family has existed to promote the Wahhabi ideology in return for the powers that the Royals enjoyed. The pact saw enhanced clergy power after 1979 when the Shia Revolution occurred in Iran, the Saudi Ikhwan attempted a takeover of the Holy Shrine at Mecca, and the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Wahhabi ideology was about going back to the basics and making the faith much less tolerant by supporting ‘Takfir’, or the power of declaration of a believer as an apostate if Wahhabi tenets are not adhered to. The militant part of the ideology started to come to the fore after 1979. From segments of the Arab world to Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of India, Indonesia, Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations, militancy promoting the Saudi brand flourished, giving rise to the notion of a clash of civilisations.

Saudi Arabia’s energy resources always dictated US policy. A grey zone existed here with simultaneous US support to Israel and Saudi Arabia, stacked primarily against Iran and the collective Arab will against Israel. A couple of factors brought the trigger for change. Among them were the discovery of shale gas in the US and the progressive decline in US dependency on Saudi energy resources. Second was the dwindling Saudi economy and the realisation that in an energy-based economy, without expansion into other domains of economic development, such as trade, technology, tourism, investments, entertainment and intellectual research, Saudi Arabia would waste its opportunities and resources. The tremendous advantage of being the centre of the Islamic world could give it enduring leadership status if it could neutralise the rising militancy within Islam. Nations all around, such as the UAE, had fully utilised their possessions and drawn major economic attraction due to pragmatism followed in all domains, including faith issues. The position of women in Saudi society, in particular, had a damning effect on the nation.

Nothing changes without a leader and a vision. Saudi Arabia was fortunate to get MbS, although his personal equation with the US has remained strained for various reasons, not the least being the Khashoggi factor. However, none of that has affected his intent of modernising the nation and for that, a more moderate form of Islam within the kingdom is necessary. To his credit, he has convinced the clergy of the need to follow his vision, which will also project Islam differently to many others who follow the Saudi guidelines on faith.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, from Saudi Arabia, who recently visited New Delhi for six days, is the Secretary General of the Muslim World League. The organisation was once at the forefront of promoting obscurantist ideology but is now transformed, as is evident from Sheikh al Issa’s message in New Delhi. The Sheikh’s belief which he transparently shared is that a whole generation of Muslims has grown up with an ideology that has given them a negative view of other faiths and an intolerantly sectarian understanding of their own.

In his several meetings with intellectuals, leaders and clergy from diverse faiths in India, he emphasised the role of the clergy in any faith. He admitted that Islam had earned a bad name for itself due to the acts of a few and the refusal of the followers to condemn those acts. He spoke of the role of family and education and decried religious teachers’ unsupervised education of young Muslim children. He mentioned that when intolerance and militancy were rising, people feared confronting them. His most poignant argument was that such obscurantism and militancy cannot be eliminated in the typical military way; they have to be removed from the roots by narratives stronger than the ones expounded.

Sheikh Al-Issa’s visit to India was symbolic of what appears to be the fading of the intolerant and militant element of Islam, but we cannot read too much into this. That change is taking place at the ideological centre is positive, but there is no guarantee of permanency. It is also not necessary that the message from Saudi Arabia is gelling with the vast Muslim populations worldwide. These populations are enmeshed with their local cultures and unlikely to follow examples. What is true is that a message supporting reformation has emanated from the nation considered the custodian of the shrines and, by many, of the faith. Nurturing this and taking it beyond is now the challenge.

“Son of Solomon ” uses the Shaykh al-Fawzan to expiate those who do not call for the guardian!
(Witness)
After Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman turned it into a mere “tail ” and stripped it of all its powers, the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice published a new fatwa of a member of the Council of Senior Scholars Sheikh Saleh Al-Fouzan explaining the rule of those who refuse to pray to the Crown Prince, in a message addressed after the high level of public awareness and their opposition to the policies of“ Bin Salman ”.
According to the fatwa published through the Authority ’ s account on the microblogging site “Twitter ” and monitored by“ Watan ”, a question was received for “Al-Fouzan ” asking for opinion on who says I do not need to pray for the guardian, to respond“ Al-Fouzan ” saying: “Because you do not like the guardian. ”
He added: "This is evidence of hypocrisy because the guardian of Muslims loves and is called to him and this is the year of the believers that they love the rulers of the affairs of Muslims and pray for them success and guidance and help because their guidance is guidance to Muslims."
He said that the prayer of the rulers of the matter is one of advice, adding: "Religion is advice to Allah, His Messenger and the Imams of Muslims and their people."
He pointed out that the predecessors were calling for the imams of Muslims on the pulpits and their guidance and goodness.
This is good for the Muslims, and this is only denied by those who have the “spirit of the Kharijites, ” according to him.
The role of “Ibn Salman ” in the destruction of the religious institution
It is noteworthy that unlike the previous rulers of the Kingdom, some of whom carried reformist selves such as King Fahd bin Abdulaziz in the 1980s and King Abdullah in the past stage.
No one dared to challenge the religious establishment in Saudi Arabia as King Salman and his son did.
Since their arrival, they have worked to limit their role and reduce their impact in preparation for neutralizing them in a second stage.
Mohammed bin Salman ’ s reform initiatives have never been taken into account, especially with regard to restricting the function of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, which previously served as a tool for imposing totalitarian militancy within Saudi Arabia and a determinant of the kingdom ’ s closed social and cultural landscape.
The new Saudi Arabia has for some time been trying to distance itself little by little from the radical religious trend.
In this context, several steps have been taken that have severely curtailed the role of the religious establishment and domesticated it.
In order to publicize the king and his crown prince and not to hinder the latter's effort to liquidate the remaining voices rejecting his policy.
The blasphemy of the Muslim Brotherhood
Mohammed bin Salman was largely successful when in November 2020 the Saudi Council of Senior Scholars issued a statement declaring the Muslim Brotherhood “a terrorist group that does not represent the method of Islam. ”
And follow its partisan goals contrary to the guidance of our religion, and cover up religion and practice what is contrary to the division and fomenting sedition and terrorism. ”
It is a political move par excellence that demonstrates bin Salman ’ s fear of certain Islamist currents and well-known leaders that could undermine his new authoritarian program.
Abandoning “Wahhabism ”
Bin Salman didn ’ t stop there, so he moved to top speed.
Soon, the crown prince put forward his project to reform the kingdom ’ s religious status, which could be called Islamic prestroika.
It calls for the first time to break with the Salafi Wahhabi school and abandon the vast arsenal of prophetic hadiths on which jurists have relied for centuries and have formed with the time the religiosity common today.
Arrest of Religious Scholars
Through his security arm and repressive apparatus, Mohammed bin Salman was able to divide the category of scholars into two categories.
The first section is an opponent who is branded as a traitor and working against the best interests of the country and carries a foreign agenda, silencing his voice and being sent to the cellars of prisons and detention centers.
The second venerates and elevates its status to become the ruler ’ s breadwinner to demolish the existing and replace it with a different model.
As a result, fatwas emerged in Saudi Arabia that legitimized the decisions of the Saudi crown prince, shined his image and defended his erroneous steps to absorb and degrade criticism.
Like the Imam of the Haram Abdul Rahman al-Sudais, who praised what he called “the march of renewal under the auspices of its rulers, and the keenness and interest of the ambitious young man updated inspiring the crown prince of this guarded country.
He continued with his vision of renewal and his vision of modernization despite the threats and pressures. ”
At a time when his country ’ s authorities assassinated journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The serpent turns into a son of Solomon.
Other clerics quickly joined the normalisation complex with MBS ’ s project, including Ayad al-Qarni, who expressed remorse for embracing old ideas and supporting the young prince ’ s “moderate foreign policies. ”
He used all his ability to slander and slander against Turkey and its president Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the Arab siege of Qatar.
He had previously been one of the main supporters of his policies.
Abdul Aziz Al Rais and the input current
The Madkhali movement in Saudi Arabia is one of the most important propaganda tools adopted by the bin Salman regime.
To pass his agenda and his new project, he used them to strike at the Muslim Brotherhood and reinforce the hostile rhetoric directed at them.
Recently in the kingdom, there have been posters in the streets and public squares warning of what they call the Kharijites.
Some, such as controversial Salafi preacher Abdul Aziz al-Rais, have called for their execution.

Saudi opposition: royal family dispute could prevent bin Salman from ascending to throne
She explained that while Saudi King Salman disappears from view, the crown prince remains stuck in the solution of the dispute and scandal.
Mohammed bin Salman is expected to continue to carry out a series of politically and religiously controversial measures that may still haunt him when he takes office if the king dies.
Perhaps the biggest nightmare he fears and warns about is the rift within the ruling Al Saud family.
It is not certain that he has the consensus of family members to pledge allegiance to him as king in the future.
The crown prince is unlikely to face an open rebellion, but will remain haunted in the future by the specter of being assassinated.
The full text of the article follows:
Saudis celebrated the end of 2021 with loud concerts in the desert, while their ailing, old king disappeared from view and had not been seen for months.
King Salman is inside the futuristic city of Neom and may not be physically able to attend the renewal of his pledge of allegiance, which is usually held at this time every year, to celebrate seven years since he came to power.
But King Salman will not abdicate, and he will remain an absentee king until death, while Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is confirmed to be the de facto ruler of the kingdom.
Domestically, Mohammed bin Salman is expected to continue to carry out a series of politically and religiously controversial measures that may still haunt him when he takes office if the king dies.
Perhaps the biggest nightmare he fears and warns about is the rift within the ruling House of Saud.
It is not certain that he has the consensus of family members to pledge allegiance to him as king in the future.
There is no evidence that he is relentless in liquidating his opponents from the House of Saud.
Recently, scandals have surfaced about his arrest and torture of a number of rival princes, including deposed Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef as well as princes from the late King Abdullah.
Allegations made by former Saudi intelligence official Saad al-Jabri, who now lives in exile inside Canada, reveal embarrassing secrets about talks with Mohammed bin Salman when he allegedly threatened to target King Abdullah with a poisoned ring.
The New York Times reported that Prince bin Nayef was tortured, including being hung upside down by his heels.
It is clear that the old image of Mohammed bin Salman kissing the hand of the deposed crown prince has now been forgotten.
The fate of Mohammed bin Nayef remains in the hands of his former masters in Washington, specifically the CIA, who have not yet intervened to rid him of this unthinkable humiliation.
Marginalized princes
It is clear that Mohammed bin Salman wishes to see Mohammed bin Nayef dead.
But that won ’ t solve his biggest problem, as other princes resent being sidelined since 2015.
But all of them have remained silent for now, fearing for their lives – but for how long?
Rival princes are unlikely to organize a rebellion against the crown prince, all without claws, yet revolutions that will haunt Mohammed bin Salman for a long period of time cannot be ruled out.
Killing journalists and arresting dissidents, or leaving them in a state of neglect and denial of medical care in prison until they die, does not equate with subjecting cousins to such treatment.
It is not uncommon in despotic monarchies for a ruler to torture his own citizens, and this may continue for a long time, but creating fissures within the house of the ruling family itself is very different and dangerous.
The crown prince is unlikely to face an open rebellion, but will remain haunted in the future by the specter of being assassinated.
None of the princes has the ability to organize a secret coup, especially after they have all been stripped of all military power, but the intrigue and intrigue inside the palace may become the option they will resort to to to get rid of a young, arrogant and ruthless prince.
The Wahhabi factor
If that were to become possible, the princes would surely count on an army of hard-line Wahhabis who are frustrated and indignant as they witness the collapse of their century-long religious empire.
The loyal Wahhabis were the backbone of the House of Saud, entrusting them with the task of domesticating and domesticating the inhabitants of the peninsula, indoctrinating them with an extremist religious culture, and ensuring their obedience to the princes.
In return, the Wahhabis benefited from the state ’ s generous endowments, jobs, privileges, and high status.
They were indeed the guardians and protectors of the kingdom, and they were the wise men to whom the people should owe obedience against their will, because of the judgments handed down by them by an armed force.
The House of Saud and the Wahhabis worked together as a harmonious musical team, playing melodies that fit each other, all in the name of obeying God and obeying the ruler.
But this formula no longer exists today, for the kingdom has become a graveyard of clergy, if we may borrow the title of Pascal Menorette ’ s recently published book.
Mohammed bin Salman began to change this historical relationship through his project aimed at liquidating the Wahhabi presence from religious and public life, replacing their sermons and threatening violators with punishment with concerts of popular songs and loud music.
How long will the marginalized Wahhabis be able to remain silent as they see their golden kingdom plunged into the debauchery and debauchery they have long called Western corruption?
The hopes of Saudi Arabia ’ s disgraced Wahhabis may have been boosted when they saw the Taliban return to power last summer after two decades of U.S. occupation.
If the Wahhabis return, they will have an unbridled desire for revenge, and blood will be shed, as the resurgence of intolerance often comes in the form of a sweeping tyranny.
But it will depend on how young Saudis deal with their frustrations over lack of jobs and economic opportunities, high prices, more taxes, and increased financial hardship.
If they felt they had no luck in the new kingdom, they might have concluded that they would lose nothing if they sided with their old Wahhabi teachers.
Mohammed bin Salman may soon succeed to the throne and thus become king of the country.
But it will not be without challenges.
What will determine whether his ascension to the throne will open the door to a new dawn or a flood of new problems is his handling of the various forces he has prepared and humiliated.

Fighting ISIS is a formality!
Oh my gosh, my gosh.
There is no real international collaboration and cooperation in fighting ISIS and depriving the takfiris of their spiritual and ideological source in purifying and deleting the fatwas of takfiri and hatred in front of the booby-trapped Ahmed bin Taymiyyah, founder of the ruling Saudi Wahhabi school. There are reasons to explain the chronic inability to fight the incubator and source of takfiri gangs. The Wahhabi with an Islamic character, who made them a beneficiary of them, although they hurt him with some terrorist positions and operations that targeted the people of Wahhabi thought makers, they still need these terrorist gangs to fight the influence of major countries to achieve their interests after they realized the impossibility of the great powers to fight among themselves after the entry of nuclear weapons in the Second World War.
In fact, they support terrorism and even the killing of ISIS leaders took place in areas outside the control of the Iraqi and Syrian governments and within areas controlled by the international coalition forces and their supporters and allies, which bears the name of the international coalition to fight ISIS.
Therefore, the killing of one or more of the leaders of ISIS, such as the recent killing of its leader Al-Qurashi and before him the Baathist intelligence officer Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, will not change much of the practical reality of the Wahhabi terrorist groups, and the chances of changing the names of terrorist groups, the Wahhabi takfiri ideology remains when a terrorist faction is targeted and its leaders are killed.
Therefore, the fight against terrorism is limited to ISIS and al-Qaeda only and the rapprochement of al-Nusra, the Levant Front, the Omar Corps and the Taliban proves that the war on terrorism by the form of a coalition to fight ISIS is a big lie, which wants to fight the al-Qaeda gangs and its derivatives. Taymiyyah and the teaching of his thought in civil and religious schools in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE and the continuation of the talk of Wahhabi sheikhs in the media and their adoption of ideas that incite the emergence of religious extremism and Islamic terrorism Wahhabi in the blasphemy of Shiites and Sufism and every human does not believe in the religion of Wahhabism.
Two large wars broke out in Afghanistan and Iraq, the result of which the occupying forces raised the slogan of democracy, restrained the governments in Afghanistan and Iraq and made them a joke and toppled them in the eyes of the masses and the result handed Afghanistan to the Taliban again. To Afghanistan to spread democracy, twenty years of occupation to Afghanistan result they handed Afghanistan to the Taliban and did not support the Northern Alliance to retain in the central and northern areas of Afghanistan and this reveals the reality of their agreement with the Taliban and do not care about the justice of the Taliban and democracy.
The option of assassinating and killing some of the heads of ISIS and al-Qaeda was not only useful in confronting these extremist groups and eradicating terrorism, but also contributed to the expansion of their spread and the spread of terrorism itself.
The facts say that the reality needs to fight terrorism intellectually by pressuring Saudi Arabia to take a decision to delete the fatwas of takfir and hatred, imagine in Saudi Arabia the students of Shiites and Sufis go to schools and are taught that Shiites and Sufis are infidels, how is the situation of the Saudi citizen Shiites and Sufis, where justice, the world grants the rights of animals such as cats and mice to live and safety. Killing, robbing, enslaving his women, persecuting and despising him, where is the justice, and how can we believe that Saudi Arabia adopts the fight against terrorism and adopts this ideology by dealing with its citizens, Shiites and Sufis.
They called our heads with their slogans to spread democracy, especially when they occupied Afghanistan and Iraq, they said that the war on Islamic terrorism is aimed at supporting democracy, human rights and the development of underdeveloped societies as a way to pull the rug from under the feet of religious extremism, but the reality on the ground is exactly the opposite. The Wahhabi Islamic Gulf regimes continue to support and fight wars and support religious and sectarian conflicts to strengthen their authority and influence and we have in the formation of Saudi Arabia alliance to occupy Yemen and impose the Wahhabi religion on the northern Shiite Zaidi Yemen by force.
Religious thought in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar have a duality they adopt a rule according to Wahhabi Islam and claim that their Crown Prince adopts a project of reform enlightenment, and the US administration considers Wahhabism in the Gulf countries of moderation and they support the publication of a Wahhabi movement that orders the Crown Prince and the ruler directs them where he wants. This bet is wrong and far from the moderation of Wahhabi political Islam groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood movement, without taking into account that these extremist Wahhabi groups originate from the ruling Saudi Wahhabi school, which is the ideological and social vessel for the growth of fanaticism and Wahhabi Islamic extremism, and to transfer fertile soil ideologically and organizationally, to crystallize and nurture it. It is the ruling Saudi Wahhabi religious school.
In Saudi Arabia, a Saudi Wahhabi preacher named Sheikh Hassan bin Farhan al-Maliki has been arrested and imprisoned. The man said the cause of extremism and terrorism stems from Wahhabi beliefs and must delete the fatwas of takfir. The result was his arrest and a sentence to behead him for infidelity according to the doctrine of the Wahhabi judge who sentenced him to death.
As long as the Saudi Wahhabi school continues to study the doctrines of takfir and hatred, the favorable climate for the continuation of ISIS, al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups remains, the general climate and the ignorant environment of the Bedouin remains the religious haven for spreading Wahhabism and extremism and increasing the numbers of suicide bombers and murderers.

The Saudi government has taken steps to promote moderate Islam, including establishing dialogue centers and promoting interfaith cooperation.

Title:

Content: Saudi Arabia has always called for the need for legislation that respects religions and criminalizes the abuse of religious symbols in order to cultivate peace, renounce violence and combat festering hate speech, as it has been keen to intensify the language of respect for religions and dialogue between them to reach a human civilizational vision.
In light of the historical data, the Kingdom stresses the need for peaceful coexistence, the creation of channels of communication, and dialogue between followers of religions, and a reflection on the country ’ s history sheets, will find that it has taken remarkable steps in this regard, such as the establishment of the King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue, or even the King Abdullah Center for Interfaith Dialogue, as well as the Center for Combating Extremist Ideology.
During this era, since the accession of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince made a remarkable promise tattooed in the memory of modern Saudi history by saying “we will destroy them now and immediately ”; in reference to“ extremists ”, who kidnapped the Islamic religion, and distorted its images, by the ideologies that deposited in their minds, so the crown prince uprooted extremist ideology and its symbols so that the country can rise, and lead the dawn Yer.
While Vision 2030 has fostered remarkable changes in both the education system and the fields of culture, the Emir, with his prudent philosophy, has been able to return to moderate Islam, renounce anything that would cause division or hatred, and intensify the desire to return to what the Kingdom was before 1979: a moderate Islam open to the world, to all religions and to all traditions and peoples.
The promotion of openness towards the other has opened the door to dialogue, as last year witnessed the “Common Values among Followers of Religions ” Forum, hosted by the Muslim World League, in Riyadh, in the presence of a number of religious leaders.
According to News 24.
This forum would not have been expected without the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030 and the Crown Prince ’ s belief in the need to intensify cooperation between religious leaders in order to produce a common modern religious discourse, as it resulted in the creation of a modern international system under the umbrella of the United Nations.

One of the first priorities of the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030 since its inception is its keenness to address and fight extremist ideas and partisan and movement ideologies, and this has led to the control of the Da ’ wah discourse and away from what provokes sedition and division or incites violence or promotes incoming ideas with subversive political aims.
The decisive moment in history was when Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced the elimination of extremism, the Awakening project and the rhetoric of international policy advocates saying: “In one year we managed to eliminate an ideological project made over 40 years! ” and when he said“ we will return the kingdom to moderate Islam ” The Guardian picked up the most important global political message in the speech of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The researcher and observer of the movements and groups of political Islam in general and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular is aware of the great role played by the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030 and how it was able, through achieving the intellectual dimension of its achievements, projects and programs, to overcome the intellectual danger of extremism and terrorist ideologies that existed in a previous era and to eliminate the project of awakening.
Our society has suffered in a period of time many and many of the scourge of terrorism because of the power of the Awakening and the penetration of the terrorist Brotherhood in the joints of many institutions and its tools and symbols of the advocates of politics and revealed the truth of the events of the Arab Spring.
Therefore, it was one of the first priorities of the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030 since its inception is its keenness to address and fight extremist ideas and partisan and dynamic ideologies, and this has led to control the Da ’ wah discourse and distance from what provokes sedition and division or incites violence or promotes foreign ideas with subversive political aims. How the Saudis are becoming more proud of their homeland
The cultural power, tolerant immunity and positive intellectual openness to the world are destroying the shackles of extremism in society. This combination of anti-extremism and extremist ideas is the backbone of the development process in any society. Development is a mobile process, and its wheel drives strategies, money and action. They are called “enemies of development ”.
They were shaking the society by deluding it with ideas through which they seek to stop the wheel of development and stand in its way, different attempts, once we see them using religious justifications for the purpose of striking a project or shaking its idea, and other times by militarizing society under the banner of corruption and loss of public money and waste of wealth, they talk about things they do not understand and do not know the details, some of these people think that Plan the future of the country.
They linked their vocabulary and accusations to Islam, and this is the habit of the activists, that they make all their passions and political purposes from the order of Islam and its provisions, and development is not an outsider, unless they want to return the societies that are moving towards development to a lifestyle that resembles the primitive caves of the Taliban and others.
The development and diversification of the economy, the development of the judiciary, the development of education, the development of health, the construction of dream cities, unprecedented tourism projects, and everything that achieves quality of life and entertainment and the development of all areas of life and management are not alienation but the movement of normal life that should be.
Simon Henderson, a foreign affairs expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, praised the Crown Prince ’ s remarks in the NEOM interview, saying: “The statements of the Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, about restoring Islam in his country to moderation as in the past, is an unusual statement, saying:“ What Prince Mohammed bin Salman said is unusual. Sort of "!
The Washington Post described in a report in 2017 that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is "re-engineering the Kingdom," and although social engineering is a very difficult work, not easy, and failed by several countries, but it is different in Saudi Arabia!
The decisions that some may see as easy or normal to make in other societies are not so in societies where the cost of intellectual change is high, and require courageous leadership capable of leapfrogging this society in the horizons of development so that there is no limit to ambition and at the same time in a safe manner!
Every courageous decision was left behind by a courageous leader; he was able to jump in his community and contribute to changing the thinking of that community, and his freedom from the societal reasons that prevent him from not facing the idea of   hindering him from making progress or keeping pace with global development.
Saudi society has proved to the whole world that it is the growth of change led by the godfather of change and the godfather of vision. Saudi society is very supportive of the new reforms and the way the Crown Prince works. All this is evidenced by the society ’ s “optimistic ” reaction and the absolute confidence of the Saudis, which enabled them, according to the report published by Edelman Barometer 2021. Proud and serious about building their own country when talking to Saudi citizens about Vision 2030, they say,“ We ’ re going to amaze the world! ”
This astonishment, in fact, was not the exclusive preserve of the Saudis.
CNN ’ s Richard Quest recently visited Saudi Arabia and wrote, “I ’ ve seen countries change before, but I don ’ t think I ’ ve seen anything like the change happening in Saudi Arabia. ”
Today, as we race against time with the vision of the Kingdom 2030, it is ironic that the terrorist Brotherhood has been for decades saying wait for the year 2023 and here comes the year 2023, but what happened and got that was the elimination of the dream of a terrorist project worked on by this terrorist organization and its tools for decades and eliminated in one year!
If 1979 was the birth of the Awakening Project, history will record that 2017 saw the announcement of the Awakening Judiciary and the Brotherhood Project in the region by a great leader when he said: 70% of the Saudi people are under the age of 30, and frankly we will not waste 30 years of our lives dealing with any extremist ideas. We live with the world and contribute to the development of our country and the world. ”

Content: Confidence decision and stage vision
|
After a decade-long series of rises, oil prices fell dramatically in 2015, and with it the Saudi economy faced a very complex situation, amid widespread concern about the continued state of the oil market saturated with production and stocks, and the dependence of the Saudi economy on this single resource.
The economy of the Kingdom was on the verge of repeating the experience of falling prices at the end of the 1980s, and the wheel of development stopped until the oil market regained its balance.
The difficult situation of the main fuel "oil" to the state treasury coincided with the pledge of allegiance of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who made rapid structural changes from the first moments to avoid a repeat of the economic crisis in the 1990s, beginning with the establishment of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs headed by Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
No one realized at the time the importance of the decision and its profound impact on the Saudi economy, enabling a new generation of young leaders to achieve the historic role assigned to them at this important stage.
It was not long before the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030 shone in April 2016, seeking to exploit the Kingdom ’ s strengths, namely its vital strategic position on the world map, investment power, Arab and Islamic depth, and harnessing all potential to achieve great national ambitions.
The vision promised at that time a huge challenge in all its numbers, and the exact timing of its completion, but most importantly the emergence of the personality of Prince Mohammed bin Salman as an able leader with scientific and practical knowledge of the capabilities and capabilities of his country and people.
His speeches and speeches to the international and local media clearly reflected his vision of the place that the Kingdom should achieve among the countries of the world, especially in important national issues such as national transformation, diversification of sources of income, empowerment of the private sector, fighting corruption and extremism.
The challenges of national transformation began with extensive changes in ministries and leadership and the establishment of bodies with unprecedented transparency, under the supervision and diligent follow-up of the Crown Prince, which contributed to accelerating progress.
The period following the structural changes of the ministries required extensive tours of Prince Mohammed bin Salman around the world to achieve several objectives, most notably reforming the oil market and opening the doors to Saudi investments led by the Public Investment Fund in its new version.
After Prince Mohammed bin Salman assumed the crown prince on June 21, 2017, work continued on maximizing the vision ’ s output.
History records the praise of heads of state and international organizations for his efforts and ability to reform the mechanisms of decision-making in the oil market, which culminated in the production of "OPEC +" with careful governance of its work, which restored prices to levels before the collapse of 2015.
Saudi Arabia is now the world ’ s fastest-growing country among the G20, with 13 percent in the first half of this year, which is witnessing the suffering of many countries with severe economic, social, administrative and political problems.
The current growth is more sustainable than ever because of the actions taken.
The non - oil sector grew by 8.2 per cent.
Already, the Kingdom has overcome difficult circumstances in five years, to crown today the world summit in several indicators, where it advanced eight ranks in the report of the World Competitiveness Yearbook 2022, ranked 24th out of 63 countries considered the most competitive in the world, and the second best performance in the world, and the financial market achieved the best performance in 14 years.
G20 countries topped the flow of international tourist arrivals in the first seven months of last year, according to the latest reports from the World Tourism Organization, at a rate of more than 121 percent.
Within one year, several programs, plans and designs were launched, including the design of The Line, Oxagon, Trogina and ENOA, which deals with innovations and the energy, water and hydrogen industries, NEOM Digital Technology, as well as sustainability projects in Riyadh with more than 68 initiatives in five sectors, worth more than 346 billion riyals, City Visions and Downtown Jeddah.
There is no secret when it is said that all the previous projects, plans and initiatives have been implemented and implemented under the personal follow-up of the Crown Prince, and to achieve sustainability for development, and to complement the mega projects comes the Royal Order appointing him as Prime Minister, to consolidate the firm and lay the foundations of the Kingdom of the future.
There is no doubt that the wisdom of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques was manifested in choosing the right time for this decision, coinciding with the stage of change, reform and development to reach the Kingdom - as the Crown Prince - the highest heaven.

Content: Saudis invest in their children to learn music
Cairo - Center Gate Saturday 16 July 2022, 03: 16 pm
Music education centers are spreading in Saudi Arabia, an opportunity that did not exist for fans of this art in the conservative kingdom until a few years ago, as the country is witnessing years of cultural and social openness.
Businessman Ahmed Abdullah is eagerly following his daughter Yasmine as she plays the musical scale brilliantly on the organ, in one of Riyadh ’ s maraz, according to « AFP ».
The 42-year-old has not had the chance as the kingdom has for decades implemented a hardline interpretation of Islam, but he said he had finally made his wish to learn music through his seven-year-old daughter.
Yamaha Music
At the Yamaha Music School in the center of Riyadh, he said, “I see myself there.
Things I didn ’ t have a chance to do in my childhood. ”
The man, who wore a traditional white dress, added: “The opportunity is now bigger and the interest in music is growing.
There are institutions and schools that didn ’ t exist before. ”
As his daughter receives guidance from her 20-year-old Egyptian teacher, he added: “Now we ’ re thinking about the next generation.
I invest in it by learning music, ” in a room where a sign reading “Music for Everyone ” was hung.
Yasmin now attends a weekly half-hour session at the center, which houses 140 trainees, most of them children, as well as her practice at school and at home on Org given to her by her father.
Saudi Arabia has been known for decades as a conservative country that espouses a hardline interpretation of Sunni Islam known as Wahhabism and observes restrictions on learning music, singing and sculpture, which have been seen as “taboo ”.
Neither public nor private schools had music rooms or classes for students.
There were also no public concerts.
But since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman took over as crown prince in 2017, Saudi Arabia has been experiencing a social opening after decades of closure and tight restrictions imposed on a predominantly younger generation society.
Women were allowed to drive, concerts were allowed, and the ban on mixing between men and women was ended.
The music is playing in Saudi restaurants and cafes, which are no longer required to shut down during prayer times.
The kingdom currently has more than five music education centers in the capital Riyadh and the Red Sea port city of Jeddah, amid a high demand from art-loving Saudi families.
I changed my personality.
For decades, Saudi families wanting to teach their children music relied on private tutors who came to their homes, which lacked the academic dimension of learning or the ability to professionalize.
Disillusioned with self-learning, Saudi employee Wajdan Hajji, a music lover from a young age, found her way into this center to learn professionally.
After finishing a guitar class with a Ukrainian teacher, Haji, 28, said: “I tried to learn on YouTube but I didn ’ t succeed because there is no one to correct my mistakes. ”
She pays 940 riyals ($250) a month for a share every Saturday, and after five months of learning, she shyly said, “I didn ’ t know anything but now I ’ ve learned the basics. ”
The employee at a medical device company explained that music had a positive impact on her life, such as yoga.
The veiled young woman, who wore a dark traditional cloak, said enthusiastically: "The one-hour class clears my mind...
My personality has changed (for the better).
I became calmer. ”
Last December, more than 732,000 people attended the Middle Beast music festival in Riyadh, according to a census of authorities, during four days of concerts by Arab and international artists, including French David Gita, according to AFP.
Musical Culture
In 2020, Saudi Arabia created a “music authority ” to establish a professional music arts industry and provide licenses for music centers, and in a separate program offered courses for talented people wishing to“ practice music as a profession. ”
100 private schools have included music education in their programs during the current school year.
In May, the Authority launched a “Music Culture Program ” to develop the skills of public school students.
Teachers in music education centres are foreigners from various music schools.
At the Music House Center, north of Riyadh, five young children interact with their school ’ s instructions to move their bodies to the rhythm of music, in a room decorated with musical scales.
Their Lebanese school, Marilyn, said: “At such a young age, we prepare children for music by including it in activities such as painting and dancing. ”
Music from thousands of different voices echoed on the streets of the center, which has 16 rooms for children and adults, with images of famous singers such as Bob Marley and Fairuz hanging on its walls.
The center, which opened its doors in 2019 and currently has 300 students, plans to open a new branch “as demand increases, ” according to Venezuelan director Cesar Mora.
Morra said: “There is a good reception for the services we have provided so far.
"There is a music loving community and market that is growing."
After waiting twice for his daughters to finish their share, Riyadh-based Sudanese Walid Mahmoud, 37, also decided to join and learn to play oud.
Laughing next to his daughters Lana, 5, and Dala, 3, holding a wooden stick, he said: "Saudi Arabia has changed a lot...
Maybe we'll be a team one day.
“Why not? ”

What are the main goals of the 2016- launched Vision 2030?

The Saudi government has invested $64 billion in the entertainment industry, opening cinemas and hosting international film festivals.

Title:

Content: (Bloomberg) -- Saudi Arabia’s decades-long ban on cinemas only ended in 2018, but the desert kingdom already has Hollywood ambitions.

It’s investing $64 billion in its nascent entertainment industry as part of a broader effort to wean the economy off oil and transform itself into the Middle East’s premier movie hub.

The action flick ‘Desert Warrior’, starring Anthony Mackie (Marvel’s new Captain America), is being filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia, and Gerard Butler’s latest thriller ‘Kandahar’ is starting principal photography in the Al-Ula region this month -- a first for the UNESCO World Heritage Site opened last year as part of Saudi Arabia’s related push to introduce tourism.

“We’ve started from the beginning, no one was here before, and we have high ambitions to build up Al-Ula as an international film destination,“ said Stephen Strachan, film commissioner for the unspoilt region that boasts majestic pre-Islamic ruins neglected under decades of religious rule.

Saudi Arabia to Allow Cinemas, Ending Ban Imposed in 1980s

It’s a remarkable turnaround for Saudi Arabia, where only a few years ago women were prohibited from driving, restaurants were gender-segregated and most forms of entertainment, from music concerts to film screenings were banned as un-Islamic. Since taking day-to-day control in 2017, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has loosened social restrictions and introduced the annual Riyadh Season extravaganza of concerts and events.

But there’s another side to the transformation; Prince Mohammed has jailed dissidents, silenced critics and is accused by the U.S. of ordering the murder of critical Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, a charge Saudi Arabia denies.

Like the social media influencers that came before them, Hollywood stars arriving to shoot potential blockbusters are a coup for the government’s effort to rehabilitate its image, but could draw criticism from rights campaigners who say the glamor glosses over that darker political underbelly.

Saudi Arabia Is Using Instagram Influencers to Improve Its Image

“I think people have the wrong impression of Saudi sometimes. It’s very much modernizing,” said Strachan. “Hollywood is looking to see what happens with ‘Kandahar’. People are interested in the cultural transformation in Saudi. ”

‘Kandahar’ is co-financed by Saudi-owned TV giant MBC, alongside Santa Monica, California-based Thunder Road. The film is set to feature Gerard Butler as an undercover CIA operative working in Afghanistan who has to fight his way out of hostile territory.“I liked the script, and Gerard Butler is a classic name,” said Peter Smith, head of MBC Studios. Smith was previously president of NBCUniversal International, and moved to MBC in 2018 to boost output in Saudi Arabia and the region.

Netflix sees opportunity as well. The streaming giant has signed an eight feature film deal with Saudi studio Telfaz11, as it looks to increase Middle East content.

But the kingdom faces stiff competition.

Morocco and Jordan have long served as desert locations, with Wadi Rum doubling as Mars in 2015 sci-fi film ‘The Martian’ and alien landscapes in ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.’

Saudi Arabia will also be competing with the neighboring United Arab Emirates, which has provided the backdrop to blockbusters like ‘Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.’Some film industry insiders also complain of problems obtaining visas or getting equipment through the airport, and decades without movies means its harder to source local talent than it is in Arab countries with more experience.As part of the push, the kingdom is launching its first international film festival.

The Red Sea Festival begins in December in the historic coastal city of Jeddah. The chairman is Saudi producer Mohammed Al Turki, who’s worked on films including the 2012 crime drama ‘Arbitrage’, starring Richard Gere.

Al Turki has been touring major festivals like Cannes, where Red Sea sponsored the amfAR Gala for AIDS research, with industry royalty like Spike Lee in attendance.

At the Venice Film Festival, Red Sea threw a women in film event that attracted stars like Demi Moore and Kate Hudson.

“We want to be the region’s destination for filming, and the creativity and potential here is immense,” said Al Turki.It’s personal for the 35-year-old. He left Saudi Arabia around a decade ago to become a film producer in the U.S., and remembers having to bring VHS tapes to his home or travel to neighboring Bahrain to visit the cinema. Now, he’s back to organize a homegrown film festival.

“People will be surprised by the festival and talent in Saudi,” he said. “We’re making this happen.”

The Saudi fashion industry is just one facet of a broader strategy pursued by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to diversify the country's economy and foster social changes.

First Published Jul 6, 2023, 2:10 PM IST

Ashi, known for dressing top celebrities, described this achievement as the pinnacle of his career. The event coincided with Saudi Arabia's announcement of its own fashion week scheduled for October, as the country aims to tap into new retail opportunities valued at $32 billion annually.

The Saudi fashion industry is just one facet of a broader strategy pursued by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to diversify the country's economy and foster social changes. This approach involves redirecting the nation's oil wealth towards investments in movies, sports, video games, tourism, and other cultural endeavors. While skeptics initially viewed these initiatives as mere smokescreens to deflect attention from human rights concerns, the reforms have surpassed expectations by introducing substantial and transformative changes.

A post shared by Ashi Studio (@ashistudio)

Yousef Akbar, a fashion designer who established his brand in Australia and has dressed renowned celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Rita Ora, expressed his astonishment at the magnitude of the transformation. He never anticipated such progress while growing up, and starting his fashion label in Australia seemed to determine the course of his career. However, he now operates his business from Jeddah, highlighting the growing opportunities within Saudi Arabia's burgeoning fashion scene.

"For the first two years, I almost didn't believe it was real, but then I realised, wow, it IS real," said 37-year-old Yousef Akbar, who began his eponymous fashion label in Australia in 2017.

"I really never thought when I was growing up that this would happen. When I started my brand in Australia, I thought my whole life would be there since I'm a fashion designer," Akbar added.

The Saudi Fashion Commission aims to capitalize on newfound freedoms regarding public dress and the flourishing private sector, projecting a remarkable 48 percent surge in retail sales to $32 billion between 2021 and 2025. In line with this vision, the commission has launched the Saudi 100 brands program, fostering local designers and nurturing a homegrown industry.

Burak Cakmak, the CEO of the Saudi Fashion Commission, believes that the country's rich heritage and existing brand presence lay the groundwork for a thriving fashion industry, dispelling the notion that Saudi Arabia is starting from scratch.

"Just because the country wasn't exposed to the rest of the world doesn't mean they are starting now," he told AFP in Paris. "I had an event for a brand this week that's been running since the 70s."

It is important to acknowledge that LGBTQ individuals face severe repression in Saudi Arabia, as the country criminalizes same-sex relations. Despite this, the authorities are apparently turning a blind eye to the influence of queer designers and couturiers within the fashion industry.

Susanne Koelbl, author of "Behind the Kingdom's Veil," suggests that as long as individuals maintain loyalty to the ruler and their families approve, the authorities are choosing to overlook these aspects.

"Maybe you can't dance naked on the table, but almost anything else is possible now, as long as your family is OK with it and you are loyal to the ruler," Koelbl told AFP.

With opposition largely repressed and religious leaders stripped of power, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman faces few obstacles in implementing his well-planned and long-scheduled reform agenda, which is dramatically reshaping Saudi society. This process of change brings new and significant opportunities, particularly for women, who are experiencing a shift in societal roles and expectations.

"It's a well-planned, long-scheduled reform process which is about to change the society completely," said Koelbl. "The Saudi people don't tend to be revolutionary and for the vast majority there are indeed new and big opportunities now, especially for women."

For those benefiting from these reforms, the excitement is palpable and inspiring. Witnessing the realization of what was once deemed impossible serves as a powerful motivation for individuals like Yousef Akbar, who see tremendous potential for their own businesses.

"It sounds cliched, but seeing something happen that we all thought was impossible is very inspiring for my own business," said Akbar.

Saudi Arabia's presence at Paris Fashion Week and its broader efforts to embrace cultural transformation are indicative of a nation striving to redefine itself on the global stage. As the kingdom continues to invest in various aspects of global culture, it signals a desire to not only diversify its economy but also to foster social progress and create opportunities for its people.

Social transformations and economic challenges.
Women come to work.
Jeddah - "Women 's News Agency"
Riham Al-Ahmad got out of the taxi she was riding with another woman in central Riyadh and entered the mall where she works four days a week selling cosmetics.
Reham, who has a high school diploma, became the first working girl in her family.
Her parents did not want her to go out to work, but eventually retreated after the cost of living in the capital increased.
With new high taxes and cuts in government subsidies in place, many families are increasingly dependent on women going out to work.
Women are negotiating a new place in the country ’ s delicate social fabric, a trend that has been celebrated by some, while others have been met with suspicion in a kingdom where conservative traditions are still deeply rooted.
Riham, a 24-year-old who lives with her parents and five younger siblings, has chosen a shop, most of whose customers are women, to ease parents' fears of mixing with men.
“I felt guilty when I asked my father for anything.
But since I started working, I am proud to be able to help my family. ”
Every day, thousands of women across the country go out to work, something that would not have come to mind just a few years ago, but has now become a norm under reforms led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to modernize the kingdom.
It highlights its progress on women ’ s issues, but does not allow political parties or elections to take place.
There are currently no women in the Saudi cabinet or in any senior advisory roles.
The Shura Council has only 30 women among its 150 members.
However, women now make up 33% of the total workforce, nearly double the proportion five years ago.
Women of different age groups and educational levels are now accepting jobs that were previously restricted to Saudi men and expatriate workers in restaurants, supermarkets, accounting firms and graphic designers.
As part of the reforms, women have been allowed to drive since 2018.
But Reham al-Ahmad, who earns 4,500 riyals ($1,200) a month, cannot afford driving lessons, aside from the price of a car.
“I spend about a third of my salary on a taxi, ” she said, adding that she was saving money to buy a car.
“But I ’ m really happy that I have a job where I get a private income at the end of the day.
I never thought it was possible for me. ”
A small number of women have long worked in Saudi Arabia, but their jobs have traditionally been in the government sector of teaching and medical care, following strict gender segregation rules in place, but with the easing of restrictions on mixing genders, driving cars and some aspects of male guardianship, companies have started hiring more women.
This is especially true in the retail and hospitality sectors, where a 2011 plan to replace cheaper expatriate workers with nationals was launched to tackle unemployment among Saudis, which now stands at 11 percent.
Economist Jennifer Beck said, “Many of the jobs held by women have traditionally been held by non-Saudis. ”
The new laws have made it easier for women to work in jobs that require direct interaction with customers.
Her research shows that the number of Saudi women in the private sector jumped to 935,508 in 2021 from 56,000 in 2010, and continues to rise.
In Unaizah, a city in the Qassim region at the heart of a conservative society, trends are changing, and more women are working, though some are wary of turning against tradition.
Ghada al-Salman, 33, after graduating from university, struggled to find work in Qassim, where unemployment among women is about 18 percent, three times the rate of unemployment among men.
It turned to the bakery industry, eventually opening three stores with 45 employees.
More recently, at the Dates Festival, she promoted the production of her bakery, Rose Raben Bakery (Pink Ribbon), one of the few women-owned businesses in Qassim.
She said, “If it weren ’ t for my parents, I wouldn ’ t have been able to do any of this. ”
“Most parents here still don ’ t approve of their daughters working all day with men, even if they are bosses and even if they wear the niqab, ” she said.
She wears face coverings and a long black cloak like most women in public places in Unaizah, but faces reproach from older conservatives.
A man in his 60s complained about the speed of social change, and he relishes eating one of her cupcakes.
The man, who asked not to be named, said the government “tells us that women should work, but it ’ s against our tradition. ”
Others believe that these changes are long overdue.
Rana al-Turki, 45, joined her father ’ s oil and gas company in 2000, and was one of the first women to work at the company, working for years in a gender-neutral office.
Rana al-Turki, who is now the owner and one of the directors of Rawabi Holding, said: “At the time, the men were not even polite.
No one would say good morning or ride the elevator with me, and they couldn ’ t even stand standing with me in one room. ”
He added: “Thank God things have changed.
In my day, we were even afraid to ask for a salary.
But girls these days come in and negotiate hard.
They know their value. ”
Yet the gender pay gap in Saudi Arabia stands at 49 percent, according to research by the non-governmental Al-Nahda Association.
“Social trends continue to govern women ’ s entry into the labor market, ” said Hala al-Dosari, a Saudi women ’ s rights expert who works in the United States, noting that most new jobs for women are poorly paid.
Although laws to prevent harassment and discrimination were in place, women continued to be harassed and denied their rights.
Economist Jennifer Beck said some employers still ask women for their guardian ’ s permission to work, despite recent reforms that give women more control over their lives.
An employer at one of the biggest companies told Reuters he preferred to hire women because they worked harder than men and earned half the pay.
Nearly 400 companies interviewed by Peak ’ s research group said Saudi women were paid less than men, and a third said women were more productive than men.
But for many Saudi women, these are only growing troubles.
Ghada al-Salman, the owner of the bakery, said: “Young women ask me all the time how they can achieve what I have achieved.
10 years ago, it was impossible.
Now the future is yours. ”

Content: We have lived for more than forty years in a period of darkness, especially in social and cultural issues, and the godfathers of that period were dark religious currents that repressed women primarily from work and participation in national development and obtaining their natural rights as in any society in the world and in some Islamic countries that used to leave the followers of those currents on winter and summer trips. This closed-minded interpretation of religion clearly influenced society for those who lived in those decades.
This stage of the abduction of the Islamic currents of society is over thanks to the vision of the Kingdom 2030, led by His Highness the Crown Prince, and some believed that its essence and objectives are economic only, but the vision as we live it now has social, cultural and religious aspects, and the Kingdom is living through a cultural revolution in its broad sense that establishes clearly the state of rights and duties protected by the laws issued successively.
I remember an answer by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman years ago at an economic conference in the Saudi capital, when he said, “We were living a normal life before 1979, and now we are returning to it in the vision project of a moderate Islam open to the world. ”
He stressed that 70% of the Saudi people are under 30 years old, and we will not waste 30 years dealing with extremist ideas, we will destroy them completely.
This is the vision of the father of the vision in the thought that our country has been pursuing for years, and with it the ideas, energy and faith of the young men and women of the homeland. Anyone who witnesses the work that is taking place in our homeland, it is clear to him that this vision is a realistic ideology and a road map to be followed by all government agencies and the private sector.
His Highness the Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said clearly and explicitly in his speech at the Human Capabilities Initiative conference in Riyadh: The past three or four decades we have lived in a phase (napping) and not an awakening, or as His Highness called it (the black box), or the black period, in terms of excluding Saudi women from participating in most fields. Creativity.
The increase in the presence of women in the Kingdom is evidenced by the fact that the participation rate of women in the labor force reached 35.9% in the fourth quarter of 2023, such figures and clear and frank discourse towards the dark forces covered by the veil of religion confirm that the vision project in all its aspects, especially social and economic, continues to move in the right direction and achieve its goals.
The speeches and assurances of His Highness the Crown Prince towards the Kingdom ’ s projects and the aspirations of the youth of the country give us confidence that human investment and development is the backbone of the national economy; which occupies the forefront of the vision ’ s projects.
The speech of His Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman gives us a conviction that the project of change in all its forms is moving forward strongly, and the employment of religion and the fallacies of weak privacy in our country is clearly gone. Yes, I understand that the (Islamist) thought has dominated in the past decades, but it is God ’ s grace that our leadership, especially the Crown Prince, has the clarity of years to deal with this deceptive misguided thought.

Content: Saudi National Day: kingdom's women celebrate drive towards equal opportunity

Female executives cite "progressive leadership" for their achievements

Beta V.1.0 - Powered by automated translation

As they prepare for the 92nd Saudi National Day on Friday, Saudi women are celebrating the nation's progress and their rise to leadership positions across different sectors.

Saudi women have always coveted more visible and pertinent roles in society, and the kingdom's Vision 2030 is the catalyst that has made them possible.

Saudi Arabia had developed a diversified economy thanks to its “progressive leadership”, Dr Manar Al Moneef, Chief Investment Officer at the kingdom's $500 billion city of the future Neom, told The National.

“We are proud of the incredible accomplishments that have ignited the pride of our people all over the kingdom and we continue to strive for greatness,” she says.

“Neom will continue to be a powerful enabler” of the Saudi Vision 2030, she said.

Dr Manar believes Saudi Arabia is committed to women’s empowerment and has enabled women to obtain the “highest levels” of education and encouraged them to participate in various aspects of “economic, political, and social life”.

“As part of Vision 2030, I am grateful for the major reforms and the continuation of the leadership’s efforts to empower women to occupy leadership positions in various sectors.”

She said Neom’s approach is no different, “we are committed” to creating a working environment that supports, develops, and promotes equality and diversity”.

Vision 2030 aims to boost female participation in the workforce to 30 per cent by 2030.

Saudi women make up more than a third of the country's workforce, statistics released in March this year by the General Authority for Statistics show, a 17.4 per cent increase from five years ago.

Also, the female unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in 20 years in the first quarter of 2022.

Many female leaders attribute this achievement to the kingdom's ambitious programme to completely reshape its economy into one that is self-sufficient, progressive and diversified.

Saudi women have always demonstrated resolve and “Vision 2030 catalysed this determination into action”, said Dr May Taibah, board member and corporate financial controller at the Community Jameel Saudi Foundation.

She has been working in social enterprise for more than a decade, most recently with Bab Rizq Jameel Services and Nafisa Shams Academy for Arts and Crafts.

Vision 2030 caters to the diverse needs of Saudi Arabia’s citizens, as it enables every member of society, “especially women,” to be veritable contributors to the country’s socio-economic growth, she said.

“This gives me a front-row seat to witness first-hand the impact of collaboration between the public, private, and governmental sectors in fuelling human capability,” she told The National. “It is truly inspirational what can be achieved through the right support framework.”

In the first quarter of 2022, the percentage of women in middle management and senior positions rose from 28.6 per cent compared with 39 per cent in first quarter of 2017, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development said.

However, the exponential value added by the growth of the female workforce in the kingdom was not limited to statistics and numbers, said Deema Al Bashrawi, Head of Operations at Tanmiah, a manufacturer and distributor of food and agricultural products.

She attributed her professional success to a culmination of factors including the strength of the kingdom’s educational framework, which enabled her to earn a degree in economics, and the support of her family.

She added that “Tanmiah continues to support my sustained growth” since she joined in 2012 as a manager.

“Today, I look forward to continuing to serve my country, customers, partners, and investors as we continue to support the achievement of Saudi Arabia’s goals towards improving food security, reducing waste, and achieving self-sufficiency,” Ms Al Bashrawi said.

Dr Taibah believes that an entrepreneurial mindset is vital to prosperity and extends beyond entrepreneurship.

“The value extends beyond that, to the personal stories of lives, businesses and industries transformed through supportive socio-economic empowerment across the entire framework,” she told The National.

The World Bank’s Women, Business and Law report for 2020 and 2021 found that Saudi Arabia was among the top countries when it came to implementing reforms and rights related to women.

“Vision 2030 was developed to extend equal support, whether a person is a craft worker, start-up CEO or employee,” Dr Tabiah said.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development introduced policies that promote inclusivity, and diversity in the labour market.

These were “to enhance the positive image of women in the workplace, and to create a supportive and inclusive environment to facilitate women’s entry into the labour market”, a ministry representative said earlier this year.

“Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been a champion for women's progress and has helped empower women in the labour market by giving us ease of running businesses and authority which does not require a man,” said Ghalia Abdul, who runs a retail store in Jeddah.

Women's right to drive, travel and run their own businesses had helped her to hire more female workers in the last four years, Ms Abdul said.

The Arab Institute for Women’s Empowerment has said that investing in targeted training for Saudi women would have a return on investment of $400 billion by 2030.

“Most young Saudis have an entrepreneurial spirit and the new changes have helped people like me not just run my own business, but also contribute to the economy and create jobs for women,” Ms Abdul added.

How has Vision 2030 affected women's rights and workforce participation?

The 2030 vision has driven tourism growth, creating new destinations and jobs.

Title:

Content: RIYADH — Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman highlighted the remarkable achievements made by Saudi Arabia ever since the launch of its Vision 2030 and the government’s relentless efforts to implement structural reforms in the financial and economic sectors. The Crown Prince, who is also chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, said this in a statement issued on the occasion of the approval of the state’s general budget for the fiscal year 2024 by the Council of Ministers on Wednesday.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman underscored that the Kingdom is witnessing sustainable economic growth in light of the great development capabilities and opportunities that the Kingdom enjoys within the framework of the Vision 2030 to enable it to move forward towards a better future worthy of its status in accordance with the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman. “This produced a clear and prominent impact on the growth of the gross domestic product (GDP) of non-oil sectors.”

The Crown Prince affirmed the commitment made by the government in the budget for the fiscal year 2024 so as to enhance economic growth through the expansion of government spending. “The budget figures announced by King Salman come supportive and enabling many programs and initiatives. These include investments to strengthen infrastructure, raise the quality of services provided to citizens, expatriates and visitors, in addition to developing promising economic sectors, enhancing investment attraction, stimulating industries, and raising the proportion of local content and non-oil Saudi exports,” he said while praising the effective and important role of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the National Development Fund.

The Crown Prince emphasized that work would continue to develop the Kingdom’s public financial performance, by increasing financial capacity and building government reserves, in a way that enhances the capacity of the Kingdom’s economy, maintains sustainable levels of public debt, and enables it to confront any developments or crises that may arise in the future. “The increase in spending is mainly due to the government’s keenness to continue developing the level of public services provided to citizens, expatriates and visitors, as well as to implement many projects and expand spending on sectoral and regional development strategies that would achieve positive structural changes, leading to expanding and diversifying the economic base,” he said.

The Crown Prince stressed the government’s keenness on developing and strengthening partnership with the private sector so as to enable and motivate it to play its major role in achieving economic diversification, as far as to enable the labor market to absorb more of the Saudi workforce, create job opportunities in the labor market and reduce unemployment rates among Saudis. “The total number of Saudis in the labor market this year jumped to 2.3 million, in addition to improving the investment environment to be an attractive environment that contributes to raising the proportion of domestic and foreign investment, developing non-oil exports and improving the non-oil trade balance of payments,” he said.

The Crown Prince emphasized that the journey of economic diversification continues through supporting promising sectors, as the Kingdom works to raise tourism targets to 150 million visitors internally and externally by 2030 in addition to building an effective sports sector through the “Investment and Privatization Project for Sports Clubs,” in order to achieve the goals of the Vision 2030 in the sports sector, as these sectors are witnessing rapid growth and providing diverse opportunities.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman reiterated the Kingdom’s determination to develop its industrial sector, as it is one of the most important vital sectors in the Saudi economy, by diversifying the industrial base and value chains through the “National Strategy for Industry'', which focuses on 12 sub-sectors to diversify the industrial economy and raise the industrial domestic product by around three times compared to the year 2020, reaching SR895 billion in 2030 to be a major contributor to the development of non-oil exports. This is in integration with the important role of the PIF as it is the investment arm that contributes and complements the efforts undertaken by the government in diversifying the economy, and the pivotal role of the National Development Fund and its affiliated funds in providing concessional financing to the private sector, he pointed out.

Speaking about the pivotal and leadership role of the Kingdom, the Crown Prince stressed the Kingdom’s role regionally and internationally, and its endeavor to ensure that the countries of the world enjoy security and stability, as they are the main factors for development and prosperity, and its keenness to develop and stabilize supply and value chains in a way that serves the development and economic prosperity of all countries of the world.

The Crown Prince stressed the Kingdom’s determination to continue the development momentum during the coming year and in the medium and long term with boosting the attractiveness of the Kingdom’s economy as a base for local and foreign investments besides diversifying the economy through the development of all economic sectors.

Content: A road map for a development renaissance
|
Mohammed bin Salman is a brilliant leader who possesses wise leadership with all its components of intelligence, vision, courage, firmness and charisma, characteristics that enabled him to draw a road map to achieve an unprecedented development renaissance that keeps pace with the requirements of the time period in the fields of science, knowledge, economy and environment.
There is certainly no leader who leads his country towards development, prosperity and development, according to a studied future vision, and clear strategic objectives, enabling him to accomplish what others could not, not only in one area, but in multiple fields despite difficult challenges and volatile international conditions.
The Kingdom and the Gulf states were facing difficult challenges, requiring leadership that would ensure sustainable development and move the country to safety, especially in countries that rely on a single resource and are located in a volatile region.
However, the Crown Prince ’ s perception of the seriousness of the stage and the need to keep pace with the changes that the world is going through, paved the way for the emergence of change with the announcement of the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030, which focused on the quality of life of citizens and residents on the Kingdom ’ s soil, and aimed at reducing dependence on oil and diversifying the sources of the economy.
In the economy and development, efforts have been made to reduce dependence on oil through various initiatives, including the development of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is a key pillar of the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030, by developing the Kingdom ’ s wealth and contributing to the growth of non-oil GDP.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF) has risen to the fifth largest sovereign wealth fund in the world.
In the same context, the Kingdom is seeking to localize the renewable energy industry, focus on technology and artificial intelligence, and build the capacity of young people to prepare for a bright future.
The development of military industries has also received great attention, with emphasis on raising the proportion of local content in development projects and contracts with foreign and local companies.
In light of the wise vision, the Kingdom has been able to develop all kinds of state systems to keep pace with the requirements of the times, including judicial systems, personal rights, investment, planning, construction and reconstruction, among others, which achieves quality of life and enhances the attraction of foreign investments, and provides wonderful electronic services.
Arab also plans the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030 to develop the tourism and entertainment sector to support the Kingdom ’ s economy by enacting the necessary legislation, building national capacities, and launching massive tourism infrastructure projects in Al-Ula, Qiddiya, the Red Sea, Neom, Asir, Diriyah and others.
In the area of the environment, he has created deterrent regimes, launched environmental policing and created many new reserves that will soon bear fruit.
Not only that, but he launched the Green Riyadh Initiative, then the Green Saudi Arabia, and not only that, but he launched the Green Middle East Initiative.
Through his wise vision, he was able to empower women to contribute to the development of their country, protect them from violence, extortion and harassment, as well as raise the quality of life of citizens by encouraging sports and creating the infrastructure for their practice by all members of society.
No less important is the fierce war on corruption of all kinds, whether it is embezzlement of public money or the use of influence or the seizure of land without right, that is, without the existence of documents and justifications for ownership, and accompanied by the issuance of many regulations on the conditions of land ownership with emphasis on the survival of mountain peaks, sea shores and archaeological sites public property of the state for the benefit of all.
As a result of these efforts, the Kingdom has achieved advanced positions in the International Competitiveness Index, as well as the E-Government Index and others.
In fact, the space allocated to the article does not allow us to fulfill the deserves of this inspiring leader who planted his love in the hearts of his people, and win the respect and admiration of others, to the extent that many wish through videos spread on social networking sites, Yes, citizens of Arab countries, to wake up to them an inspiring and courageous leader and visionary like Mohammed bin Salman, to promote their countries development and limit the spread of corruption in their countries. They congratulate the homeland on this inspiring leader, and congratulate him on the loyal Saudi people.

MEED NEWS: Saudi Arabia on track to achieve Vision 2030
Thank you for reading the news about MEED News: On the right path towards achieving Vision 2030 and now we start with the details
DAMMAM – Sherif Ahmed: “The construction of a trillion-dollar infrastructure is a crucial element of the kingdom ’ s new vision. ”
“The size of Saudi plans for development exceeds anything that has been announced in the region before. ”
The Kingdom is moving steadily towards turning Vision 2030 into a reality, with projects worth tens of billions of dollars each, in addition to tenders for companies and hundreds of other innovative ideas under implementation, he said: “Work is continuing to implement the grand designs of Vision 2030 until it reaches the final stage. ”
The site pointed out that Riyadh is intensifying work to deliver projects worth $1 trillion with less than 10 years to build.
“The launch of Saudi Arabia ’ s Vision 2030 was a watershed moment, when the kingdom outlined a broad set of economic reforms aimed at diversifying the kingdom ’ s economy, which is now reliant on oil and hydrocarbon revenues. ”
The construction of a $1 trillion infrastructure is a crucial element of the kingdom ’ s new vision.
“After two years of austerity following the collapse of oil prices in late 2014, His Highness Crown Prince bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has embarked on a leadership race with ambitious projects launched in 2017, ” he said.
Mead News believes that the scale of Saudi plans for development exceeds anything previously announced in the region.
The Neom City project in the northwest corner of the kingdom alone is expected to cost $500 billion.
The city of the future covers an area the size of Belgium and aims to reshape humanity with new ways of living in carbon-free and car-free cities.
Other mega projects launched included the Red Sea project, Amala, Diriyah and Al Ula.
They were joined by a wide range of other major projects such as King Salman Park, Riyadh Sports Street and Jeddah Downtown.
Many of these schemes are backed by the Public Investment Fund.
His Highness the Crown Prince said in early 2021 that the Public Investment Fund will spend 3 trillion riyals on projects by 2030 to fully develop various economic sectors in the Kingdom.
