Hubbard and Kirkpatrick in this report say Prince Salman, at 32 years one of the youngest rulers in the Middle East, has taken steps that his predecessors had shied away from. It cites the war in Yemen against Iranian faction, blockade of Qatar, and taking power from conservative clerics. This report points out that this could destabilize the efforts at modernizing Saudi Arabia that are needed because Saudi Arabia may find itself overextended in proxy wars, and ambitious projects. The Saudi financial reserves have fallen from $737 billion to $475 billion, with declining oil prices, and the public stock offering of Aramco oil company may be jeopardized.

The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
