[chottala.com] Saudi Arabia Out of the comfort zone

Saudi Arabia

Out of the comfort zone

Mar 3rd 2012 | JEDDAH, QATIF AND RIYADH | from the print edition

CUSTOMERS arrive at a 24-hour supermarket in the centre of Riyadh, the Saudi capital, shortly before midnight, but little shopping takes place. Small groups of young men and women cruise the aisles eyeing each other. Interest in items on the shelves is cursory at best. In the car park outside they continue their flirtation until the police show up. Mingling between the sexes is discouraged in Saudi Arabia yet impossible to ban. "We chat online, but if we want to meet face-to-face we come here," says a man in his early 20s.

The kingdom's larger cities are brimming with social friction and furtive action of this kind. Much of it is not explicitly political, but it hints at the strength of discontent bubbling below the surface. Growing wealth has raised the aspirations and political awareness of the country's 25m people. Some rail against corruption, echoing the complaints of demonstrators in Egypt and Tunisia, whereas others strain at social rules imposed half a century ago when the country was rural and poor.

So far Saudi Arabia's rulers have escaped the Arab spring largely unscathed. A "day of rage" in March last year fizzled out, and there has been no concerted effort by opposition groups to organise another. Nonetheless, the troubles afflicting the kingdom's Arab neighbours are a warning.

Even some royals read events that way. "The Arab spring has changed people's expectations and the government needs to evolve," says Prince Abdulaziz bin Sattam, a senior member of the ruling family. "The problem is well-understood but the solution is not yet defined. We have the resources, but we still have to perform in terms of services, education, health, employment and justice."

The royals mainly see discontent as an economic problem. Their subjects would like a larger share of the oil wealth, they believe. They are partly right, but rare opinion polls show that unemployment and inflation are the deepest public concerns.

The official jobless rate is 10.6%, but informal estimates put that figure at 35% among young men in their 20s. With 60% of the population under the age of 21, urgent action is needed; yet the government has done little more than make grand promises. In January it announced plans to create 3m new jobs over the next three years, with a further 3m by 2030. This would be a mammoth task even for a country with a broad industrial base, which Saudi Arabia does not have.

Creating jobs is complicated by the failure of previous employment laws. To stem the widespread use of cheap foreign labour, the government forced companies to fill at least 30% of their positions with Saudis. But employers complained bitterly about the lack of skills among young locals; years of rote-learning and religious instruction fail to prepare them for the job market. The quota has now been dropped and replaced with a more flexible system.

At the same time the authorities try to minimise discussion of economic problems. Three young Saudi film-makers were arrested in October for making a short film about poverty in the kingdom and posting it online. Some news organisations were banned from reporting the recent case of a Saudi man attempting to sell his son on Facebook to raise money for the rest of his family. The authorities like to point out that incomes are rising. According to the Brookings Institution's annual MetroMonitor report, the Washington-based think-tank's ranking of global cities by economic performance, the only city worldwide to outperform the kingdom's two largest last year was Shanghai. Riyadh recorded a 7.8% rise in incomes.

But not all problems are economic. Public anger is mounting at the religious police poking their noses into private lives. Activists for women's rights are calling loudly for better treatment and internet scribes are testing the limits of free speech.

In some cases the authorities give a little ground. The head of the notoriously invasive Haia, the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, was sacked following public protests. The new chief, Abdullatif al-Sheikh, is a known reformer and has pledged to overhaul the organisation. Women have also won marginally more freedom in the workplace. "Companies that started with two women in a separate office now employ 200 because they find them more productive and more loyal," claims Mofarrej al-Hoqubani, the deputy labour minister.

Women are still not allowed to drive, though privately officials accept that the ban is untenable. The kingdom will never develop a dynamic economy if husbands spend hours every day ferrying wives to and from work. A royal order in February stipulated that women who drive should not be prosecuted by the courts.

But the general trend is toward a hardening of rules. Prince Nayef, the crown prince and power behind the throne, believes this is no time to show weakness. Dissidents are detained or given travel bans, a favourite tactic of the regime in Syria until it started to use harsher methods in the past year. Media rules have also become tighter.

No fly appears too small to warrant swatting. Hamza Kashgari, a young blogger, fled to Malaysia after posting provocative comments about the Prophet Muhammad. The government applied all available diplomatic pressure to have him returned. Emboldened senior clerics are asking for Mr Kashgari to be executed for blasphemy.

Religion is at the heart of many conflicts. The volatile but oil-rich Eastern Province, home to many of the Sunni kingdom's sizeable Shia minority, has witnessed frequent bouts of violent unrest in the past year. Two men were killed and several injured when police opened fire on a demonstration in February. In Qatif, the provincial capital, the walls of the main street are covered with graffiti insulting members of the royal family and asking, "Where is the oil money?"

The government accuses Iran of funding the protests. Shia leaders claim this is a convenient excuse to exclude them from politics. "The official story is always like this," says Tawfiq al-Saif, a prominent Shia leader. "It just shows their failure to grasp the core problem." The rhetoric on both sides is growing more poisonous. Hassan al-Saffar, a Shia cleric, denounced the royals for decrying the slaughter in Syria while repressing their own people and aiding a crackdown in neighbouring Bahrain. Meanwhile the interior ministry called protests a "new terrorism" and vowed to respond with an iron fist. It smells like springtime.

Bangladesh wins 200 mile in Bay

The courtroom of International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.Photo: Internet Star Online Report

Bangladesh won a landmark verdict at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea Wednesday, which sustained its claims to 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic and territorial rights in the Bay of Bengal rejecting claims of Myanmar.

The verdict of the court went absolutely in Bangladesh's favour and even beyond, as it gave more than what Bangladesh had asked for. The judgment is final and cannot be appealed against.

The verdict of the tribunal gave Bangladesh a substantial share of the outer continental shelf beyond 200 miles, which would open ways for offshore oil and gas exploration in the Bay.

The tribunal also awarded Bangladesh a full 12-mile territorial sea around St Martin's Island, overruling Myanmar's argument that it should be cut in half.

"We have got what we wanted. We got everything and even we got more than what we wanted. We are happy, we are absolutely delighted," cheerful Foreign Minister Dipu Moni told The Daily Star over the phone from Hamburg, Germany.

"This is a great day for Bangladesh. All our strategic objectives were achieved," she said, adding that Bangladesh could now proceed with its oil and gas exploration in the area. "In our claims, we wanted around 1 lakh square mile, but the tribunal in its verdict gave us 1.11 lakh square miles," she said.

Wednesday's 151-page judgment was the first by any court or tribunal to delimit the maritime area beyond 200 miles, known as the "outer continental shelf", and is certain to establish an important precedent in that regard.

"Bangladesh's full access to the high seas out to 200 miles and beyond is now recognised and guaranteed, as our undisputed rights to the fish in our waters and the natural resources beneath our seabed," Minister Dipu Moni said.

President of the tribunal Jose Luis Jesus of Cape Verde read out the judgment in the courtroom yesterday. The 23-member panel of judges of the tribunal delivered its final judgment after following a series of procedures and long hearings between September 8 and September 24, 2011, when both the countries presented their arguments for their claims.

The verdict, which the judges passed voting 21 to 1, brings to a conclusion the case initiated by Bangladesh against Myanmar on October 8, 2009 to resolve a longstanding dispute over the maritime boundary.

Bangladesh lodged the cases after India and Myanmar unfairly, according to Bangladesh, cut off a significant portion of Bangladesh's maritime area in the Bay.

Bangladesh's objection to Myanmar's claim was lodged with the tribunal and its objection to the Indian claim was filed with the UN's Permanent Court of Arbitration based in The Hague, Netherlands. The arbitration with India is expected to be settled in 2014.

Bangladesh favours a principle based on "equity" while India and Myanmar favours "equidistance" system to get bigger maritime areas.

Under a UN charter, the principle of "equity" takes into account a country's population, economic status and needs, GDP growth, and other human issues, while the "equidistance" system marks the boundary through geometric calculations.

According to UNCLOS, any such dispute should be resolved on the basis of equity, and in the light of relevant circumstances. And that makes Bangladesh's demand for equity-based demarcation justified, experts said.

Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, who was present at the courtroom during the judgment, told The Daily Star immediately after the verdict that the people of Bangladesh are deeply connected to and dependent on the Bay of Bengal, both as a source of nutrition and for employment.

The legal certainty afforded by this ruling will ensure that "we will be able to maximize the benefit of this important resource for the people of Bangladesh while at the same time ensuring long-term sustainability," she added.

The Foreign Minister added that energy-starved Bangladesh's exploration for petroleum and natural gas in the Bay of Bengal, long delayed by conflicting boundary claims, can now proceed.

The judgment will now allow Bangladesh Conoco Philips to explore oil and gas for Bangladesh in deep-sea areas previously disputed by Myanmar. The oil company conditionally signed a production sharing contract last year leaving out the disputed area.

It kept a provision saying the company will explore the disputed area after the issue is settled.

"Today's ruling constitutes the equitable solution that Bangladesh has long desired, but was unable to obtain during 38 years of diplomatic stalemate preceding the lawsuit," the Foreign Minister asserted.

"The bold and visionary decision of the Prime Minister to seek a binding judicial resolution of this longstanding dispute has been vindicated."

"But it is a victory for both States," the Foreign Minister emphasised, "because it finally resolves – peacefully and according to international law – a problem that had hampered the economic development of both States for more than three decades. We salute Myanmar for its willingness to resolve this matter by legal means and for its acceptance of the tribunal's judgment."

Myanmar had claimed that its maritime boundary with Bangladesh cut directly across the Bangladesh coastline, severely truncating Bangladesh's maritime jurisdiction to a narrow wedge of sea not extending beyond 130 miles.

Myanmar also claimed that the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to award continental shelf rights beyond 200 miles from either State's coast. The tribunal rejected both of these arguments.

"We are very pleased with the expertise, fairness and efficiency of ITLOS and its judges," said Bangladesh's Foreign Minister. "The case was resolved, from beginning to end, in a little over two years. This is unprecedented for judicial efficiency in a maritime boundary case."

As the Agent of Bangladesh in the proceedings, the Foreign Minister presided over an eminent legal team, including: the Deputy Agent, Rear Admiral (Ret) Md. Khurshed Alam, as well as attorneys James Crawford, Philippe Sands and Alan Boyle of the United Kingdom, Paul Reichler and Lawrence Martin of the United States, and Payam Akhavan of Canada.

Myanmar was represented by its Agent, Attorney General Tun Shin. Its counsel included Alain Pellet and Mathias Forteau of France; Sir Michael Wood of the United Kingdom; and Coalter Lathrop of the United States.

It may be mentioned that the army-backed emergency government invited bids for offshore exploration in February 2008 after dividing its sea territory in the Bay into 28 blocks.

But both India and Myanmar raised objections in all most all the blocks bordering their maritime boundary that refrained Bangladesh to explore oil-gas. Even Myanmar claimed rights to part of an area of Bangladesh and at the peak of the dispute in 2008, a war-like situation was created as both the countries sent naval ships to the disputed area.

The tribunal, based in Hamburg, Germany, was established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to adjudicate disputes between states concerning issues covered by the convention, including the delimitation of maritime boundaries.

AL people proved that it does not believe in democracy. The party which does not allow opposition to

If anybody argu against caretaker government he or she is against the peace in Bangladesh and cannot be cosidered as proindependent force. What razakars did in 1971 such as killing, looting and raping similar thing is being done by Chatra league. Unfortunately Hasina and Sahara are protecting them. A terrorist cannot be a good politicians. BNP is now better because Tariq Zia is NOT threre and if this terrorist return BNP will again become a party controlled by ovodro cadres.

ETV, Bangla Vision, Islamic TV blacked out

Officials of the channels confirmed The Daily Star that government agencies asked Cable Operators' Association of Bangladesh (COAB) to suspend the telecast as the channels were planning to go LIVE with the mass rally

Monday March 12 2012 19:01:39 PM BDT

Viewers across the city could not watch Ekushey Television, Bangla Vision and Islamic TV from around 3:00pm Monday as the private satellite channels were blacked out on the cable without any prior notice.(The Daily Star )

The television channels were unavailable from around hour before opposition leader Khaleda Zia was scheduled to start delivering her speech at the four-party mass rally.

Officials of the channels confirmed The Daily Star that government agencies asked Cable Operators' Association of Bangladesh (COAB) to suspend the telecast as the channels were planning to go LIVE with the mass rally.

Contacted, an influential COAB member acknowledged receiving the instruction.

However Jehsanul Islam, a government-appointed administrator for the COAB, which does not have any elected committee for the last one year, denied the association role in the blacking out the three channels.

Asked why the three channels were blacked out quite simultaneously without any prior notice, he replied: �I cannot say why this happened.�

10 RAB men sued for looting

Tue, Mar 13th, 2012 9:36 pm BdST

Chittagong, Mar 13 (bdnews24.com) – A robbery case has been filed against a former commander and nine RAB men for looting over Tk 20 million from a shrine in Chittagong.

Former chief of RAB-7, Lt Col Zulfikar Ali Majumdar has been named as the main accused while nine others are captain Wahidul Hasan, deputy additional director Abul Bashar, sub-inspectors Tarun Kumar Basu and Nayek Hasanuzzaman, assistant sub-inspectors Ali Ashraf and Jahangir Alam, Nayek Mohammad Liton, constable Sumon and soldier Jasim Uddin.

All of the accused were deputed at RAB-7 stationed in Chittagong.

Two informer of the elite crime fighting force – namely Didarul Alam and Anwar Mia – were also sued.

Mohammad Idris, a driver of Talsara Darbar Sharif at Anwara upazila, filed the case with Anwara Police Station on Tuesday noon, OC Mohammad Shahjahan told bdnews24.com.

According to case details, the RAB personnel looted the money from the shrine in the name of a raid on Nov 4, 2011. A RAB team led by Zulfikar Ali Majumdar raided the shrine and looted the money after breaking open an almira.

The RAB personnel also arrested five Myanmar nationals from the shrine and handed them over to the police station, but did not mention the money.

The authorities of Talsara Darbar Sharif lodged a written complaint with the police station but no case was lodged.

As the news spread, OC Shahjahan said that the RAB headquarters had formed an investigation committee.

The accused RAB men were withdrawn from their duties after a primary investigation confirmed their involvement, said the Anwara OC.

If someone can give me some authentic information I will surely write about it. I do not easily get carried away by emotions or get pulled by the crowd.

Take care.

Dear Mannan Sir:

Assalamualaikum. Thank you for enlighten us with BNP/JAMAT/ISI link. Hope to see another enlighten column from you on AL/RAW link as early as next week.

It is nice to see that our country is getting more aware of all these foreign intelligence influences in our country. And thanks to people like you who are exposing them to us.

Sir, i think you also should write a column on Indian Razakars as well. As a Freedom Fighter it is your responsibility to expose all the anti-Bangladesh elements in our society. Fortunately, our nation have clear picture on Pakistani Razakars yet to learn about the Indian ones. So that we can distinguish, who real pro-Bangladeshis are.

Thanks.
