Zaljevske monarhije + Jordan

[oridjidji]

negdje sam cuo/pročitao da je KSA tražila da se osnuje Jordan zbog toga da oni KSA negraniče sa Izraelom direktno. koliko je to tačno neznam

Ne znam koliko je tacno ali Jordan da nije osnovan bio bi u sastavu Palestinske drzave, a ne Izraelu.
S obzirom da Kralj dolazi sa teritorije koja je zavrsila u KSA vjerujem da su imali upetljane prste.

Tacnije Emiratu Transjordan je pripadala Palestina, bila je njenim sastavom za vrijeme Britanske okupacije. Poslje se desila nakba, proglasenje Izraela i Zapadnu obalu okupirao Jordan, te je taj prostor od godine nakbe do 1967 drzao pod svojom kontrolom. Izgubili su je u Sestodnevnom ratu.

Katar

Nova vlada

U novom kabinetu sejha Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani-ja, samo 4 od 18 pozicija drze clanovi klana Al Thani.
Katar sada ima jednu od najmanjih vlada u Zaljevu.

Podaci govore da su dani kada su Al-Thani dominirali vladom davno prosli.
Od 70-ih do 90-ih godina proslog vijeka, svaki ogranak vladajuce porodice imao je predstavnika koji je drzao neku poziciju u vladi, cime se osiguravala odanost.
1997. god. 14 clanova klana Al-Thani, imali su poziciju ministra. Vec 2013. god. taj broj se smanjio na 7, a sada Al-Thaniji drze samo 4 pozicije u vladi.

Upozno sam jednog od njih.

Egipatska vlada prenijela suverenost 2 nenaseljena ostrva na Saudijsku Arabiju:

On 9 April the Egyptian government announced that it was transferring sovereignty of two uninhabited islands in the Red Sea, to Saudi Arabia.
The announcement came a day after Egypt’s prime minister, Sherif Ismail, and Saudi Arabia’s deputy crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud, signed an agreement re-establishing the countries’ maritime borders in the Red Sea.

Strajk sindikata radnika u naftnoj industriji u Kuvajtu 17. aprila.
Vlada ocekuje deficit od 23 milijarde dolara u fiskalnoj godini, cak u ukoliko cijene nafte porastu na nivo od 45 dolara po barelu.

The Oil and Petrochemical Industries Workers Confederation has announced it will strike on 17 April to protest government plans to reduce workers’ wages and benefits. A spokesman for the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) said the strike would not affect production and exports.
The strike will also affect Kuwait Oil Company, Kuwait Oil Tanker company, Equate Petrochemical Industries Company and Kuwait Gulf Oil Company. Negotiations between the government and the union are ongoing.

The government expects a $23bn budget deficit in the 2016-17 fiscal year even if average oil prices reach $45 per barrel.

Saudi Arabia agrees plans to move away from oil profits

Announcing the reforms, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman described his country as being addicted to oil.

The Vision 2030 plan, he told the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news channel, would ensure "we can live without oil by 2020".

Ne znam je li itko pogledao ili postavio ovaj dokumetarac o drustvu i politickoj represiji u Saudijskoj Arabiji. - Saudi Arabia Uncovered
Sto je najzanimljivije BiH se spominje kao glavna destinacija vise Saudijskih "dobrotvornih organizacija", koje sponzoriraju terorizam.

Produkt tog sponzorstva je teroristicki napad 1997. (Mislim u Mostaru, ali nisam siguran.). Navodno za ovo sve su znali Amerikanci ali nisu nista poduzimali, do tek 2 sedmice poslije napada na blizance u NYC 11.9.2001, tada je NATO napravio raciju te "dobrotvorne organizacije" u Sarajevu, na videu se vidi da se radi o "Kulturnom centru kralj Fahd..."

Na Wikipediji ni traga ni glasa o umjesanosti S. Arabije ili Al-qaede
https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teroristi ... taru_1997.

BiH se spominje od 37:00


Ne znam zasto nitko od nasih BiH medija nije propratio ove stvari...

Takoder, kroz US kongres se gura zakon prema kojem bi neki S.A. zvanicnici mogli bit gonjeni od Americkih zakona ako se dokaze da su bili u vezi s napadima na blizance 11.9.

"In 2002, shortly after a Joint Congressional Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks concluded its report, the Bush administration ordered that the inquiry permanently seal a 28-page section that investigated possible Saudi government links to the attack. It has remained sealed ever since."

"The existence of those secret 28 pages, and the Saudi and White House effort to keep them secret, seem to hint at confirmation of things many Americans suspect: that we attacked the wrong enemy after 9/11, that our Saudi allies are not allies at all, and that American policy toward the Middle East is disastrously shortsighted and self-defeating."

Koliko god oni pokusavaju da blokiraju zakon to se vise javlja ljudi koji su nekoga izgubili u napadu te ti isti ljudi podupiru ovaj zakon (politicki i pravno). I cijela kontroverza koja je nastala oko ovog sve vise privlaci paznju javnosti s interesom da se skine pecat tajne sa 28 strana dokumeta posvecenom napadu 11.9. I sto je najgore S.A. je najavila da ako zakon bude usvojen prodat ce sve Americke obaveznice, i tim nastetiti vrijednosti dolara.

"Saudi Arabia would be forced to sell up to $750 billion in treasury securities and other assets in the United States before they could be in danger of being frozen by American courts."

"...some lawmakers and families of Sept. 11 victims are infuriated. In their view, the Obama administration has consistently sided with the kingdom.."

"...If the bill were to pass both houses of Congress and be signed by the president, it could clear a path for the role of the Saudi government to be examined in the Sept. 11 lawsuits."

Jedna zanimiljivost ...

Just a few days ago, a ray of hope emerged for these expatriates, who have immense love and loyalty for Saudi Arabia. Yes, I am referring to the recently announced Saudi Vision 2030. Part of the vision is the introduction of a system in the form of a green card for long-serving expatriates.

Iako detalji nisu objavljeni, uvodjenje zelene karte za strane radnike - rezidente u KSA, je ono sto National naziva jednim od "8 kljucnih detalja Vizije 2030".

Ostalih 7 kljucnih detalja su jos zanimljiviji ... npr. ponuda dionica Saudi Aramca (nesto manje od 5%) na javnoj berzi.

I sve to ne da je u redu, vec je prilicno pozitivno i ambiciozno, ali ... onda u tih 8 detalja vidimo i "domesticiranje namjenske (vojne) industrije" i onda se moramo upitati da li su MBS-u sve koze na broju.

My recent interview with Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman – who devised the Saudi Vision 2030 and which was approved by the cabinet – dealt with the issue of oil and cutting oil dependency.

During the interview, the prince spoke about what his grandfather had once said: "King Abdulaziz and the men who worked with him in all parts of the Kingdom for the establishment of the state did not depend on oil. They established the Kingdom without depending on oil, and they run this state without oil, and lived in this state without oil. They defied the British colonialism where Britain could not take an inch from Saudi Arabia's land without depending on oil but depending on men alone. (But now, it's as if oil) has become our constitution: the Quran, the Sunnah and then the oil. This is very serious. We have a case of addiction to oil in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. That issue is serious. This is what disrupted the development of many sectors in the past years."

Salman's Saudi Arabia more ambitious than ever

King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud's 18 months on the Saudi throne have been marked by an unprecedentedly energetic and dynamic foreign policy expanding Saudi influence. Riyadh has been far more willing to take risks in national security choices than in recent decades. In the process, the Saudis have acquired some strategic territory.

The king's decision to restore Saudi sovereignty over two uninhabited islands, Tiran and Sanafir, in the Gulf of Aqaba and take possession of them from Egypt is a prime example of his aggressiveness. Saudi kings since Abdul-Aziz ibn Saud have left the two islands under Egyptian control to avoid getting involved in the sensitive issue of passage through the Straits of Tiran. Now Riyadh plans to build a bridge across the straits to provide a land link from the kingdom to North Africa. The islands will be inhabited at least by customs and toll collectors.

The annexation provoked controversy in Cairo and undermined Salman's client, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Egyptians complained Sisi was giving away part of their country. Many saw it as a naked payoff for the billions in aid and investment Saudi Arabia has made in Egypt since they helped orchestrate Sisi's coup in 2013. It makes Saudi Arabia the dominant power in controlling access to the Gulf of Aqaba and the ports of Eilat in Israel and Aqaba in Jordan. Riyadh has committed to ensuring free access.

At the other end of the Red Sea, the king's war with the Houthi rebels in Yemen has given Saudi Arabia de facto control of the Yemeni side of the crucial Bab al-Mandab Strait between Asia and Africa. The Saudis took control of the port of Aden on the entrance to the Red Sea a year ago and the strategic island of Perim in the Bab al-Mandab last October. Their Yemeni allies control Socotra Island in the Gulf of Aden as well. This spring, Saudi and Emirati troops took control of the capital of the Hadhramaut region of southeast Yemen, Mukkala, away from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Mukkala is the fifth-largest city in Yemen and provides the Saudis with land access across the Empty Quarter Desert to the Indian Ocean.

Yemen is now de facto partitioned by the war. The Saudis have backed the shaky UN-brokered cease-fire and the political negotiations in Kuwait. During Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington last week, he promised President Barack Obama the kingdom is committed to a "political settlement of the conflict." While the parties to the talks in Kuwait say they want a united Yemen, many southerners would prefer a return to southern independence. Saudi Arabia backed a southern secessionist rebellion in 1994. In the Middle East, "temporary" partitions have a tendency to last.

In the Persian Gulf, Salman has sharply escalated Saudi Arabia's rivalry with Iran. The war in Yemen is justified as a conflict to prevent Iran from developing a proxy in Arabia. Diplomatic relations with Tehran were severed in January, and Iranians will not be participating in the hajj this year. While Tehran has hinted at an openness to cooling tensions, there is no sign of any such interest in Riyadh. The influential Wahhabi clerical establishment has strongly endorsed the tough line with Shiite Iran.

In Syria, the Saudis hope that defeating the government of President Bashar al-Assad will lead to the unraveling of Hezbollah and Iran's position in the Levant. Last summer, the Saudi intelligence service nabbed Ahmed Ibrahim al-Mughassil, chief of Saudi Hezbollah, after he got off a flight from Tehran to Beirut and spirited him away to the kingdom. Mughassil was the mastermind of the 1996 truck bombing of the Khobar Towers that killed 19 Americans. He was also involved in several attacks on Saudi diplomats in the 1980s. His rendition is the boldest Saudi intelligence coup ever.

The favorite son of the king, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, 30, has been at the center of all the action. As defense minister he has also presided over the creation of the new Islamic military alliance announced last winter by the king. The alliance is clearly aimed at isolating Iran and Iraq, though officially it is a counterterrorism pact. Its 30 or so members have established a secretariat in Riyadh.

Mohammed bin Salman's high-profile visit to Washington, New York and California, with extensive Saudi press coverage, further enhanced his status as the king's emissary.

Crown Prince Mohammad bin Nayef keeps a lower profile. But his hand has been critical in the Mughassil caper, breaking ties with Iran, the tough hajj policy and the taking of Mukkala. He also leads the battle against the Islamic State terror challenge at home.

This aggressive foreign policy is expensive. Billions have gone to prop up Sisi and others. The war in Yemen is costing more. The king and his two deputies clearly feel the price is worth it. Whether by accident, design or some combination of the two, Salman has acquired some of the most strategically valuable terrain in the Middle East.

Medjutim meni je fascinantan dio koji sam boldirao. O nevjerovatnom geostrateskom rastu znacaja Saudije u samo jednoj godini. Nravno da nisu bili nebitni i ranije ali ovo sada je vec sasvim druga prica. Tiho odradise veliku stvar.

Jos nesto, citam na Al Monitoru, o popularnosti komedije koja se pusta za Ramazan u Saudiji. "Selfie" ili "Selfie 2", tako se zove. Uglavnom ismijava sektastvo, glavna meta su im konzervativni krugovi i selefijski mentalitet.
Sve to uz amin kraljevske porodice jer se drugacije ne bi moglo emitovati. Konzervativni/radikalni krugovi lude. Siitski disidenti pozdravljaju emitovanje, itd.

Uglavnom vrlo interesantno. Cinjenica je da su i Selman i Muhammed bin Najaf i "mali" Muhammed pokrenuli Saudiju u procesu ogromnih, strukturalnih, reformi i da imaju velike ambicije. Pitanje je samo koliko ce moci.
