The Yemeni ambassador to Saudi Arabia Mohammed Ali Muhsin al-Ahwal said Thursday that according to directives of the Saudi monarch King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz the activities of the week would be held in several Saudi cities because the Saudi monarch fives the relations of Yemen and Saudi Arabia and their development much of his attention.

The activities also include opening of an exhibition for photographs on Yemen and another exhibition for Arabic calligraphy.
The ambassador added that the activities of the week include holding a Yemeni Book Fair and an exhibition for folklore fashions, especially women's and handicrafts known in Yemeni cities and countryside.

Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
