‘Need for Gulf
security deal’
MPs reject recommendations
By Ahmed Al-Naqeeb
Arab Times Staff and Agencies
KUWAIT CITY, Oct 25: Kuwait
and its neighbors need the Gulf
Security Agreement to maintain
security in the region, says MP
Kamel Al-Awadhi.
The MP made the statement recently
while announcing his plan to nominate
himself as member of the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee and if
he succeeds, he will run for its chairmanship.
In case he does not get the position, AlAwadhi will request the Legal and
Legislative Affairs Committee to reopen
the Gulf Security Agreement file and
reevaluate its constitutionality.
On the other hand, source revealed that
a number of MPs have promised to vote
for MP Faisal Al-Kandari as secretary of
the National Assembly if the incumbent
MP Yaqoub Al-Sane does not seek for
reelection.
Speculations are rife that Al-Sane will
be appointed minister of justice so the
lawmakers want Al-Kandari to take over
the secretary post while MP Adel AlKharafi had also expressed interest in the
position.
Sources confirmed Al-Kandari has a
good number of supporters and he will
most likely get the post, that is, if Al-Sane
will not run for the position; because even
the government has hinted on supporting
Al-Kandari.
Furthermore, the Legal and Legislative
Affairs Committee will discuss a draft
bills on Sunday such as the autonomy of
the judicial authority, creation of a court
specialized in managements of disputes
and three other proposals.
The committee will also look into the
internal regulations of the Parliament and
amendments that might be need to allow
the legislative authority to continue the
issuance of its newspaper, operate its own
news channel, exempting it from supervision of the State Audit Bureau, and to be
unbound by the Press and Publications
Law.
Meanwhile, several lawmakers have
rejected the recommendation made by
GCC Ministers of Justice at the end of their
16th meeting on Wednesday to surrender
suspects and individuals against whom
judicial verdicts have been issued in all
GCC countries, reports Al-Jarida daily.
MP Khalil Abdullah explained the
Kuwaiti constitution forbids giving up the
rights of its citizens to another country,
adding such measures are not applicable in
other GCC countries. He stressed need to
refer the recommendation to National
Assembly before its implementation to
make sure it is in line with the constitution.
For his part, MP Hamdan Al-Azmi said
any such convention must be in line with
the Kuwaiti constitution and law, indicating the parliament will reject convention
that contravenes the constitution.
Furthmore, MP Abdulrahman Al-Jeran
said the recommendation made by GCC
Justice Minister at the recent meeting is
good, but it should not be applied in a negative way.
He explained “it is necessary to differentiate between the suspect and the person
against whom a judicial verdict is already
issued. It is also pertinent to implement the
recommendation with respect to criminals
and those against whom judicial verdicts
have been issued.”
He hopes legislation will be in place for
organizing issues of this nature to be able
to thwart the plans of individuals that
manipulate with GCC security.

“Many Kuwaitis are under the impression that
any kind of instability in the elder-sisterly
country — the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will
reflect negatively on the situation of Kuwait”,
columnist and former MP Mubarak Al-Duwaila
wrote for Al-Qabas daily.
“Actually, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait has
exposed the fact that Saudi Arabia is a natural
and strategic extension of the State of Kuwait.
“However, I was surprised to read a report
that was issued recently by the West which
mentioned the strategic intention of Saudi
Arabia, after surmounting the Islamic State (IS)
organization or the so-called DAESH, the
Alawi regime in Syria and the Iraqi sectarian
regime, to launch a campaign for countering the
Sunni Jihadist groups in Saudi Arabia.
“According to this report, surmounting this
group will be achieved only by destabilizing
the internal situation of Saudi Arabia, which,
however, will pave way for Western intervention under the pretext of maintaining peace. It
seems if the West aims to dominate the
resources of any country, it would first hasten
to sow seeds of sedition in that country in order
to justify its intervention. This is what occurred
in Iraq and Syria.
“In other words, it is likely to intervene in the
affairs of Saudi Arabia under the pretext of
maintaining the country’s stability and uprooting the terrorist organization DAESH from there.
“I felt the above introduction was necessary because
of the recent Saudi-Kuwaiti
conflict over the divided
zone between the two countries. However, I hope the
governments in the two sisterly countries will realize
the existence of a huge conAl-Duwaila
spiracy against the region.
The participation of the two
countries in the war against DAESH will not
protect them from the sparks of this conspiracy.
After all, there is no permanent friend or foe in
politics.
“Consequently, it should not be surprising to
know that the remaining chapters of the scheme
will be focused on us especially after we lose
our sole ally Saudi Arabia over some fabricated
differences. We hope that the people of our
elder-sisterly country Saudi Arabia will realize
that Kuwait shall always remain a front gate for
the country in good times and bad.
“We also hope our brothers in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia will realize that the robustness
of the relations between the two countries will
always represent a stronghold that can counter
and deter the ambitions of the two countries’
eastern and northern neighbors.
“In addition, we would like to stress that the
stability of Saudi Arabia represents stability for
the entire region particularly Kuwait. Any
unrest in Saudi Arabia will negatively affect our
situation, irrespective of whether we agree or
disagree to this fact.”
Also
“The bond shared by the State of Kuwait and
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is bigger than any
simple and unexpected conflict because Saudi
Arabia is our strategic depth and a safe haven
for us after Allah”, columnist Yousef Awadh AlAzmi wrote for Al-Jaridah daily.
“Every Kuwaiti citizen considers Saudi
Arabia as his/her second homeland. Therefore,
we believe that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, by
the virtue of their wise leaderships, will be
capable of settling any unintentional conflict or
misunderstanding between them. The problem
at the divided zone between the two countries
can be considered as natural and was initially
related to the technical aspects. However, political intervention took place.
“The issue needs to be dealt with through a
spirit of responsibility and farsightedness for
the sake of the two sisterly countries, keeping
in mind that encouraging mutual confidence
and fraternity between the two sisterly countries should be above any other interest.
“Well done Kuwaiti government for not
openly declaring anything about the conflict
and for showing keenness to discuss the matter
and come to a mutual understanding with Saudi
Arabia behind closed doors so that such a manner will not give any room for people with bad
intentions to interfere in the affairs of the two
countries.
“Such being the case, we have to deal with the
conflict in a proper manner to revive the deeprooted relations with our people in Saudi Arabia,
keeping in mind that frankness and mutual
understanding between the brothers is necessary
to boost the relationship between them.
“It is natural for differences to occur between
the two countries while they are partners in the
divided zone. It should not be blown out of proportion because our interests and that of Saudi
Arabia are quite alike”.

“HH the Crown Prince described the current
situation in our community as a dangerous
moral deviation, and warned about wrong
imported concepts that have taken roots in our
community even though they are against our
religious principles and the values of Kuwaiti
tradition and culture. When an individual like
him makes such a statement, it should be considered as a serious issue that needs to be dealt
with instantly,” Dr Wael Al-Hassawi wrote for
Al-Rai daily.
“HH the Crown Prince did not fail to point out
the state of misery in the region particularly in
our neighboring State where people are drowning in pools of their own blood on a daily basis.
“However, what is happening outside our
community does not justify the spread of violence inside our community especially among
the youths. Our ways of bringing up our children and the educational system have failed to
protect our youths from deviations of all kinds.
This phenomenon aggravated due to lack of
prevalence for the law and principle of equal
opportunity.
“To summarize this matter, consider the following discussion between two Kuwaiti parents. The father told the mother that he wants
their children to study in private schools that
provide distinguished Western education and
also preserve the Islamic principles and local
traditions. The wife responded by saying,
“There is no point for all that as long as the outcome is the same. What really matters is the
connections that the father have and not the
quality of the certificates. For those who are
well connected, jobs are made available or they
will come up with a position just to give the
children of the well-connected people a job”.

“We talk about development in Kuwait as if
it is an elusive dream that we do not see or
imagine except when we watch the experiences
of other countries which got their independence
either with us or a decade after us like the
United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Singapore
as they steadily move towards development,”
Dr Hassan Abdullah Jawhar wrote for AlJarida daily.
“Many of us ask: What is the difference
between them and us? Are they from another
world? Do they have resources which we do
not have? Do we lack the political stability they
have? Is there a glimmer of hope that we will
join them soon or even in the era of our sons?
These questions come to mind every time we
browse newspapers, hoping to read a report on
the completion of a project to regain our lost
glory.
“I perceive the government’s instability, particularly in the past few years, is a major reason
behind the state of randomness and volatility in
the authority whose lifespan is counted by
months instead of years. How can the ministers
achieve anything within such a short period?”
❑ ❑ ❑
“The real problem in this country is administrative corruption which has led to financial
corruption and as a result of this the development has run aground. It is seen in this country
that the recruitment of some people is based on
commercial interests - a trend which has taken
over almost everything. This is one of the reasons why every single person is counting on
others for selfish interests,” columnist
Mohammad Ahmad Al-Mulla wrote for AlShahed daily.
“All these things are happening and it looks
like we are laughing at ourselves because we
say we are marching towards reforms but in
actual fact we are moving backwards, not forward. We have yet to find a reason why we
don’t hire qualified people. In all governmental
organizations there are thousands of people
who are specialized in all domains and if we are
to get out of the tunnel of loss, we need to
change our recruitment system.
“We spend lots of money to mend the situation but unfortunately our going backwards is
pitiful. Why a state like Dubai has tasted success in every field is because of the manner in
which the issues are managed. In Kuwait wherever we put our hand we taste failure because
there is no accountability of officials who are
above the law and this is what makes the situation worse.”
❑ ❑ ❑
“A three-month study conducted by official
GCC agencies on 200 Twitter and Facebook
accounts belonging to individuals aged
between 18 and 24 produced important but dangerous results”, Talal Al-Saeed wrote for AlSeyassah daily.
“Pages with extremist ideologies and concepts aimed to incite youths for Jihad and to join
terrorist organizations in Syria and Iraq were
discovered. They also found images aimed to
embellish terrorism for the youths to make them
believe that the latter will be rewarded for joining these organizations. This issue was not only
limited in one GCC country. Sample accounts
were randomly chosen from youths of all Gulf
countries. The results indicated that 170 out of
the 200 selected accounts support the extremist
thinking. This makes us wonder how many followers such accounts really have.
“It is unfortunate to see that the terrorist
organizations are exploiting the youths through
social media and enticing them to serve the terrorists’ interests. We wonder if the governments
have taken any step to deal with this issue,
especially since the study was conducted by
experts.”
❑ ❑ ❑
“About 14 centuries ago, there was a conspiracy plotted by Quraish leaders to eradicate
Islam by attempting to kill the Prophet
Mohammad (PBUH) before he fled from
Makkah to Madinah. They though Islam will
disappear after his death”, Abdulhameed AlMuhaimed wrote for Al-Shahed daily.
“However, they were not aware that Prophet
Mohammad (PBUH) was protected by Allah
who rescued him from that conspiracy. It is
mentioned in the Holy Qur’an and Hadith as
well as in Islamic history that his trip from
Makkah to Madinah was not a simple one but
was a special spiritual one. His migration transformed Islamic history. Muslims at that time,
after they were chased from their homeland,
leaving behind them their families, friends and
wealth, always had a base at every corner
around the world from where they worked to
spread Islam. The prophet’s migration was the
beginning of the formation of an Islamic State
throughout his 10 years in Madinah.
“These facts were presented by some of the
prophet’s companions when they wrote about the
Islamic history. They referred the migration as an
important event and agreed to make Muharram as
the first month of the Hijri calendar.”
❑ ❑ ❑
“The National Council for Culture, Arts and
Letters exerts tremendous efforts to spread
Kuwaiti culture and art in the country. It also
diligently tries to introduce the cultures and
civilizations of other nations”, Salman Al-
Qallaf wrote for Al-Shahed daily.
“It publishes a number of important magazines of various fields such as Alam Al-Marifa
Magazine, Alam Al-Fikr Magazine and AlArabi Magazine.
“In fact, I enjoy reading these magazines. I
have subscribed to Alam Al-Marifa magazine
which features various important cultural topics
particularly for those who are interested in
detailed explanations of such subjects.
“However, such important and useful magazines suffer due to delays in their distribution
because those who are responsible for distributing the magazines to subscribers inside and outside Kuwait take almost two successive months
for the task.
“I believe the cultural mission should be
given to people who respect culture and can
help in spreading it.”
❑ ❑ ❑
“It seems there is an aggressive war flaring
alongside the international war against
DAESH. However, this war is not against terrorism. It is an economic war in which the
weapons are petroleum and dollar, and its goals
are strategic and political. It is the Petroleum
War”, Adel Abdullah Al-Mutairi wrote for AlAnba daily.
“It seems some GCC nationals are fed up
with the Iranian interference in the regional
affairs especially since it is involved in each
and every Arab conflict. Therefore, it has
become necessary to confront Iran even indirectly like the Petroleum War.
“Petroleum is a double-edged weapon but in
the positive sense. It is possible to reduce or
stop petroleum supplies so that its prices are
increased for punishing the consumer countries.
It is also possible to supply the market with so
much oil and petroleum products that the prices
will be reduced and the producing countries can
be punished.
“Despite the embargo imposed on Iran, the
latter did not stop financing militias such as
Hezbollah, Houthis and some groups in Iraq,
and supporting Bashar Al-Assad in Syria.”
❑ ❑ ❑
“Ministry of Interior recently declared that
the Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Public
Security Affairs held a meeting with the leaders
of Hussainias to deliberate on the necessary
procedures to guarantee security of people
inside the Hussainias”, Prof Bahijah Behbehani
wrote for Al-Qabas daily.
“The ministry urged owners of the Hussainias
to comply with the Constitution and the instructions of security operatives stationed in the locations where their activities are held. It advised
them to avoid any kind of sectarian or religious
intolerance, and to not create any traffic congestions that could hinder rescue officers, firefighters and paramedics to handle emergency cases.
“They were advised to report any unruly
behavior or presence of suspicious structures or
vehicles, so that concerned officers can take
necessary actions in that regard. The Ministry
warned them against disturbing people in the
neighborhood especially since the Hussainias
are located in residential and school areas.”

“The problems that our Bedoun brothers are
facing did not begin today; it dates back to several years! Government has always been forming committees to resolve these problems but
we are yet to see any concrete solutions”,
Marzouq Al-Heet wrote for Al-Watan Arabic
daily.
“Due to the determination and seriousness of
the government to resolve this problem appropriately, Director of Central System for
Remedying Status of Illegal Residents Saleh
Al-Fadhala last week held a meeting with a delegation from the Personal Status Agency affiliated to Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior. The
meeting was aimed to share experiences on
how the sisterly GCC country managed this
issue in that country. It will be good if the
authority holds a similar meeting with its counterparts in Iran and Iraq.
“Various committees in Kuwait have been
holding meetings and forums for about thirty
years regarding this issue but without arriving
at appropriate solutions. Should we form committees to carry out series of meetings for
another thirty years?
“I want to ask our brother Al-Fadhala, who is
known for his unquestionable patriotism, a
question concerning the location of traffic
lights... I mean the three segments which are
demarcated with green, yellow and red colors.
Are the officials no longer capable of resolving
the problem? You have used more time than
what you had pledged to solve the problem, but
we have not seen anything except unending
statements and drug injections.”
❑ ❑ ❑
“We recently lost a progressive Bahraini
writer Abdullahi Khalifa. The Bahraini, Gulf
and Arab literature movements have lost one of
the pioneers of short stories and tales, who was
also known for his various critical and intellectual articles”, Waleed Al-Rujeib wrote for AlRai daily.
“The late Abdullahi Khalifa is from the generation of Bahraini writers who established the
contemporary literary movement in Bahrain,
which is currently enriched with authors and
quality literary produce despite its small size
and small population.
“The literary movement in Bahrain has contributed a lot to the Gulf and Arab literary
movement. In fact, some of the writers and
poets among them have attained international
fame for their literary work.
“However, Abdullahi Khalifa and other
Bahraini writers and authors did not stay away
from the national matters affecting the
Bahraini people. In fact, Abdullahi Khalifa was
once jailed for his national stances. May Allah
have mercy on his soul and give him eternal
peace.”
