Stop! The World Facing Historical Events
Rare events do not take place everyday. An event that the world witnesses only once a year. Event, which wrote history before, with golden-plated-letters. Event, which the whole world is looking forward annually.
The world is anxiously waiting, the world is alerted, the world is worried, the world is tensed, the world is waiting to hear the decision, the world is negotiating to reply, the world is directing all antennas toward The Event, the world calls for patience, the world is asking to join in making the decision, the world is listening to them, the world is preparing for negotiation, the world units to solve the issues, the world is astonished by courageous speeches, the world is shocked with what is happening, the world is full with riots some are with and other are against The Event, the world is praying for it’s success, the world reached a cross-junction, the world supports all the outcomes, the world obey to unchallenged orders, the world realize the truth, the world is confused what to do, the world realized that they were wrong, the world lives in peace and satisfaction, the world is ready to corporate to solve problems, the world asks for a month or two enable to get ready to implement the new directions.
So, what is happening?
It’s the Eighteenth Arab League Summit!
The Arab League Summit is about to begin, and nothing from all of what I said will happen. So, relax and sleep well, tomorrow carries nothing new.
In brief, no one, I repeat, no one cares for the Summit, what’s going in it, what decisions it will come out with, no one, not in the Arab World nor the whole World. So why should we waste time in talking about what toke place and what will take place in it? For the participants, wasting time is the most important thing they can do, so let them do, and let’s wish them all the best in wasting more time.
As for Arab Citizen and the world around him, everyone realize that the summit equals to nothing but “ink on paper”. Ink which we read and know by heart now, we are sick of it and from hearing it again.
The question that remains, is it shame if they once decide to talk firmly, logically and realistically about the Israeli occupation? Is it shame to talk about Daurfor, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Terrorism, Economy, Human Rights, Education, Unity, Unemployment, Religion, Politics, Common Projects, Civil Development, Development Forward (for a change), etc.? Is it shame that they talk in something useful with new language without using obscure terms and non realistic language which is possible to implement or at least to convince the other? Until when will this coma and absence from reality will continue? Until when?
Poor is the Arab Citizen. I can claim that the least time media channels are watched is the period when they air news about this Summit and what’s going in it. On the other hand, publicity for cheap TV channels increases, so should we blame the Arab TV watcher for his choice to watch something like the infamous “Star Academy”? or blame him for mounting the biggest satellite dish so that he can watch the “educational movies” coming from Western channels? I don’t blame him! Who of us ever heard or felt the positive impact of any Arab League Summit since it was established and until yesterday? Unfortunately, nothing. Nothing but misery of the mass…
And until next submit, sometime similar next year, I wish everyone the well while waiting for another historical decisions that will change the route of history as happened in the past, as will happen this year. Happy New Year!

Haitham,
Mumken tsawwi translation la hadda?
Dear Haitham,
I do not agree with.
They are working.
What do you want.
To work or not to work means in the Arab world
Not to work is to work.
Excellent posting.
Have a nice time.
Forget about them.
Opss… I knew I'll be asked for this
Sorry, Raymond. I'll do my best as time allows
Raheeb ya haitham.
There you go raymond
Thank you all
Thank you, Haitham, for the translation. As an American, I do not feel right to pass such judgements, but as the husband of a Palestinian, and having lived in Palestine and having witnessed the injustices that are often passed by small minds lodged behind big desks, I can identify with the sentiments.
Summits in all parts of the world seem to be more about shaking hands and smiling for cameras than initiating solutions to a plague of problems. Haram ou harami.
Haitham,
They are doing what they do best; TALK. Let them talk, no one listens any more anyway ! Can someone please tell me any problem that this Arab League even remotly helped solve for the Arab people?
I like the "Hesshek Besshhek" part…
don't wary evry thing will be fain ;but yuo must usualy see to the futur and you must be upmustakts evry tim
I speak with lazird and i want to sey els i hope the warlad of arib in futur improve from naw .
And we must working togther about any thing
Did the arab league do anything at all.It has almost become toothless.
Is Somalia next for 'war on terror'?
BBC News
The Islamists are the first group to control Mogadishu in 15 years
Since the 11 September attacks on the United States more than four years ago, Somalis have feared that their lawless country could become the setting for a battle between US-backed anti-terror forces and al-Qaeda sympathisers.
That prospect now seems more likely than ever.
An Islamist militia has taken control of the capital, Mogadishu, from an alliance of warlords widely believed to be backed by the US.
The US refuses to confirm or deny these reports but President George W Bush says he is concerned by the Union of Islamic Courts' victory.
"The first concern, of course, is to make sure that Somalia does not become an al-Qaeda safe haven - it doesn't become a place from which terrorists can plot and plan," he said.
US warning
The union's chairman, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, has given conflicting signals since taking control in Mogadishu.
A US anti-terror base is as close as it could be to Somalia
He sent a letter to foreign diplomats claiming that his followers do not sponsor terrorism and they have no plans to establish an Islamic state in Somalia.
But he has also been quoted as telling the Saudi-owned pan-Arabic daily Asharq al-Awsat:
"If US forces intervene directly against us in Mogadishu, then we are ready to teach them a lesson they will never forget and repeat their defeat in 1993."
He was referring to the US humiliation in 1993, when 18 US troops and hundreds of Somalis were killed before the US pulled out its forces.
Fresh from defeating the hated warlords who have razed Mogadishu to the ground in 15 years of fighting, the Islamic courts are very popular in the capital.
The US is still mistrusted because of its 1993 debacle and its self-proclaimed "war on terror".
Reports that they were funding the warlords have not helped either side win over Somali popular opinion.
Arms bazaar
Some Somalis back the Islamic Courts for doing something to establish law and order in a country where the law of the gun has long held sway.
But the warlords, and others, say the Islamists are also behind a series of targeted assassinations of prominent figures, including a peace activist and senior military officials.
Facts and figures about life in Somalia
At-a-glance
Many of the Somalis killed are those who had argued in favour of a foreign peacekeeping force in Somalia - an idea strongly rejected by the Islamists.
The warlords further accuse the courts of sheltering foreign Islamic fighters.
Western diplomats have long said that Somalia was home to training camps for Islamic radicals.
A Somali link has been assumed in the four al-Qaeda-linked attacks in East Africa - the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2002 attacks on Israeli tourists in Kenya.
In a country without a government, a group with enough money can do just about anything it wants.
Weapons are easily available in Mogadishu's arms bazaar and anyone can buy a passport, although these are no longer recognised in the west.
Fears
One of the key figures in the Islamic courts and former al-Itihaad al-Islamiya leader, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys - on the US list of terror suspects - denies the existence of training camps in Somalia.
But he told the BBC News website he has sympathy for the "Muhajadeen who are fighting back" against attacks by the US and their allies around the world.
Sheikh Aweys denies terror groups operate in Somalia
Last year the International Crisis Group, a political think-tank, reported that: "In the rubble-strewn streets of the ruined capital of this state without a government… al-Qaeda operatives, jihadi extremists, Ethiopian security services and Western-backed counter-terrorism networks are engaged in a shadowy and complex contest waged by intimidation, abduction and assassination."
The Ethiopians are extremely wary of radical Islam in the region and helped battle al-Itihaad in the 1990s.
They may well be happy to work with the US against the Islamic courts and a US anti-terror task force is conveniently based just over the border in Djibouti.
However, even some western diplomats in the region are critical of US policy, which they fear could scupper the prospects of peace in Somalia, by antagonising the first group to secure the whole of Mogadishu in 15 years and which enjoys considerable popular support.
Somali analysts argue that the best way to stop Somalia becoming a base for international Islamic fighters would be for a single government to reassert control of the whole country.
The Islamic courts now seem set to play a key role in the peace process, from which they have previously been excluded - if the US gives them the time to talk to the transitional government.
An interesting article about palestine and arab world..
MOGADISHU (AFP) -
The new supreme leader of Somalia's Islamic courts that seized control of Mogadishu this month from a US-backed warlord alliance said Sharia law would be imposed throughout the country.
Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, a controversial hardline cleric designated a global terrorist by the United States, denied the US charges against him but said the courts would work with any country that respects them.
"America is not our God and they are not our leaders," he said. "We feel much more superior than America. We are people who believe in Allah, let them do whatever they want."
At the same time, he said the courts would respond in kind to any display of disrespect directed at them by outside powers or Somalia's largely powerless transitional government with which Aweys has extremely strained ties.
"We must follow the rule of law as laid down by Allah," Aweys told AFP in an interview following his election as head of the Council of Islamic Courts (CIC) at the weekend.
"I do not think Somalis will oppose the adoption of the rule of Allah," he said from central Somalia's Galgudud region, where he has been setting up new Islamic courts for the past several months.
"We will come together by following the commands of God and the teachings of the Koran," Aweys said of cooperation with the transitional government headed by his longtime foe, President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed.
"Those are the principles that will bring us together," he said. "By the will of Allah, we will come together.
"We will treat people the way they treat us," Aweys said. "If they respect us, we will do the same and respect them. Anyone using bad faith will receive the same treatment."
Aweys was elected on Saturday to head the CIC, which will have ultimate authority over the coalition of Islamic courts that wrested Mogadishu from the warlord alliance on June 5 after months of bloody fighting.
His appointment, along with the election of a several other conservative clerics to the council, has rekindled fears of a Taliban-like takeover of Somalia that could become a haven and breeding ground for radical Islam.
The moderate leader of the courts until Aweys's election, Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, was chosen as chairman of the council's executive committee.
Believed to be in his late 60s, Aweys founded the capital's first Sharia court in the mid-1990s and is suspected of having orchestrated the Islamic militia's seizure of the capital.
He has been named a "specially designated global terrorist" by the United States and is subject to US travel and financial sanctions for alleged ties to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network.
Those links and charges the courts are harboring extremists, including Al-Qaeda members, were a key reason Washington backed the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism (ARPCT).
Aweys has in the past denied the allegations and on Monday said he did not understand the US terrorist designation and slammed the United States for interfering in Somali affairs.
"It makes no sense," he said. "The idea of freezing my bank accounts is pointless because I have no accounts in America. What I am going to do in my country has nothing to do with America.
"America is not our God and they are not our leaders," he said. "We feel much more superior than America. We are people who believe in Allah, let them do whatever they want."
