Extractions: ICRC delegates continued to visit places of detention holding people in connection with the Gulf war, and saw more than 600 detainees during the year. The majority of those visited were Iraqi, Jordanian, Yemeni and Sudanese nationals, Palestinians with only travel documents and stateless persons. Delegates had access to people held in detention facilities under the jurisdiction of the Ministries of the Interior (police stations, prisons and deportation centres), Defence and Social Affairs. Through its private talks with detainees and its contacts with the authorities, the ICRC sought to ensure that people under deportation orders (non-Kuwaiti residents of the country and illegal immigrants) were not expelled to a country where they had reason to fear persecution, that they had the opportunity to settle their personal affairs and were allowed to take their belongings with them, and that they were not separated from their close relatives. During the year 160 protected persons were expelled along with their families. The closure of the border between Iraq and Kuwait in February 1995 meant that the number of those expelled directly to Iraq subsequently fell considerably.

Extractions: During the year ICRC delegates continued to monitor the conditions of detention and treatment of people held in connection with the Gulf war. The majority of those visited were Iraqi, Jordanian, Yemeni and Sudanese nationals, Palestinians with travel documents and stateless persons. The average number of detainees visited by the ICRC at the end of the year was 435. Delegates had access to people held in places of detention under the jurisdiction of the Ministries of the Interior (police stations, prisons and deportation centres), Defence and Social Affairs. The ICRC ensured that people under deportation orders (non-Kuwaiti residents of the country and illegal immigrants) were not expelled to a country where they had reason to fear persecution, that they had the opportunity to settle their personal affairs and were allowed to take their belongings with them, and that they were not separated from their close relatives. During the year 83 deportees, along with their relatives, were accompanied to the border by ICRC delegates.

The Saudi form of Islam is conservative and fundamentalist, based on the 18th-century revivalist movement of the Najdi leader Shaikh Mohammed Ibn Abdel-Wahhab. This still has a great effect on Saudi society, especially on the position of women, who do not generally go out without being totally covered in black robes (abaya) and masks, although there are regional variations of dress. The Najd and other remote areas remain true to Wahhabi tradition, but throughout the country this way of life is being threatened by modernisation and rapid development.

Extractions: Benny Morris. London: I. B. Tauris, 2002. An anthropologist, Al-Rasheed has relied on the many Arabic and Western studies available to offer this up-to-date study of Saudi Arabia. Her account steers clear of both the overly heroic and the overly hostile. She brings out well the close Saudi ties from earliest days, first with the United Kingdom and then America. She treats Ibn Saud's matrimonial politics and what might be dubbed the "Arabian style" of leadership used by him and his successors while paying attention to the regional distinctions within Saudi Arabia and the situation of the Shi`a minority concentrated in the oil-producing eastern region. There is also a good description of the dynasty's religious extremists who were crushed in the 1920s (but whose ideological heirs thrive today), but she offers only a single reference to Osama bin Laden. A concluding chapter treats the writings, speeches, and celebrations that figure in the Saudi effort to create a favorable image and the counternarratives of Saudi dissidents.

Annual Report Annual Report Kuwait, regional delegation (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen) The regional delegation focused its efforts on helping to ascertain the whereabouts and fate of persons reported missing in connection with the Gulf war [9] and visiting detainees in Bahrain. It also carried out dissemination and information activities in the Gulf region. Various means were used to spread knowledge of humanitarian law and of the ICRC's mandate among target groups such as decision-makers, National Society staff, school pupils and the general public. The aim was to promote the ICRC's role as a neutral intermediary in situations of armed conflict and internal strife and as a significant player on the humanitarian scene. The ICRC continued to develop contacts with the region's National Societies in order to promote understanding and acceptance of its work and proposed various forms of cooperation, especially in the field of dissemination. The Kuwait Red Crescent Society supported the ICRC's landmines campaign through a week of promotional activities in May and, as a result of a letter written by the National Society's President, the issue was debated in the National Assembly. Joint events for the 8 May celebrations also provided opportunities for such contacts.

Extractions: Constitutional reforms - after having been promised since the era of King Feisal - were implemented by King Fahd in 1992. The resulting Constitutional Government is radically different from Western style social order. Article of the Basic Law of Government stipulates that "God's Book and the Sunnah" are the substantive constitution of Saudi Arabia, being only amended (not changed) by reforms of state organization. Saudi Arabian monarchy is religion bound . Furthermore, the new Consultative Council (Shura Council, Majlis al-Shura) is subject to nomination and re-nomation by the king, not to election by the people. Speeches in the 11,000 mosques are pre-censored by administrative officials, women are not allowed to acquire driving licenses. In 1995, more than 150 delinquents were put to death by being publicly beheaded with a sword; thiefs are punished by cutting off their hand. Islamists openly challenge the Saud dynasty with its 6000 Princes for decadent and corrupt lifestyle. The King submits two of the five secret services directly to his command. Possible successors of the very sick monarch are the Princes Naif Sultan , and Bandar . An option for a non-dynastic government could be Ahmed Saki el-Jamani , a former oil minister now businessman in London.

The Nabateans had the biggest of the early empires, stretching as far as Damascus around the first century BC. In the early 18th century the Al-Saud, the ruling family of modern Saudi Arabia, were the ruling shaikhs of the oasis village of Dir'aiyah, near modern Riyadh. When they formed an alliance, in the mid-18th century, with Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhab, the result was Wahhabism, the back-to-basics religious movement which is still Saudi Arabia's official form of Islam. By 1806, the converting armies of Wahhabism had conquered most of modern Saudi Arabia as well as a large part of southern Iraq. None of this went down well in Constantinople, as western Arabia was, at least in theory, part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1812 the empire retook western Arabia, and by the end of the 19th century the Al-Saud had retreated to Kuwait, where they were given sanctuary. From here one of the great Al-Saud leaders, known as Ibn Saud, brewed up an irresistible combination of piety, strategy and diplomacy and retook Riyadh and then, in 1925, Jeddah.

These cases subsequently were confirmed as Rift Valley fever (RVF), the first such cases on the Arabian peninsula ( ). This report updates the findings of the ongoing investigation conducted by the Saudi Arabian MOH in collaboration with CDC and the National Institute of Virology, South Africa. As of November 1 in Saudi Arabia, 516 persons with suspected severe RVF* requiring hospitalization have been reported from primary health-care centers and hospitals ( Figure 1 Based on preliminary data from the ongoing epidemiologic investigation, 125 (76%) of 165 case-patients reported close contact with animals, especially sheep and goats, and 91 (64%) of 143 case-patients reported a history of exposure to dead, and/or aborted animals.

Extractions: Saudi Arabia This windswept plain in the far north-west of the country is one of the most compelling places in Saudi Arabia, and the spectacular rock tombs here are the kingdom's most famous archeological site. Most of them were carved between 100 BC and 100 AD, when Madain Salah was the second most important Nabatean kingdom after Petra (now in Jordan). The tombs were 'discovered' in the 1880s by Charles Doughty - you can read all about it in his Travels in Arabia Deserta Although Madain Salah's tombs are less spectacular than those at Petra, they're much better preserved - the rock here is harder and less prone to water damage. Be sure to see Qasr Farid , the largest tomb at Madain Salah. It is carved from a single large outcrop of rock standing alone in the desert. The Diwan , or meeting room, is carved into a hillside and would probably have been used as a cult site. Qasr al-Bint , the Girl's Palace (yes, that's where the word comes from), is a whole group of tombs carved into an outcrop of rock. You really need a vehicle to get around Madain Salah, as the distances are large and the heat extreme. You might want to take an organised tour, as it's pretty difficult to get to the site - these go from both Medina and Riyadh. If you want to get there off your own bat, it's about 330km (205mi) north of Medina - many of the roads aren't signposted.

The Proliferation Picture in the Gulf: A Tough Neighborhood The Gulf region is beset by historical rivalries, competition for regional influence, territorial disputes and explosive conflicts. These factors create a dangerous strategic environment in which many key regional actors look to defend their national interests by pursuing weapons of mass destruction (wmd) and ballistic missiles. This regional attraction to wmd poses serious problems for U.S. policymakers. It represents a clear and present danger to U.S. interests, troops and allies in a region with vital oil and gas deposits, a pivotal geographic location and a volatile recent history.

Extractions: September 18, 1995 On 12 September, I began a series of visits which has taken me to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Syrian Arab Republic, the State of Israel and the Gaza Strip, and today I arrived here in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, my final stop. I should first of all like to express my gratitude for the warm welcome which I received in each of these locations. It has been deeply moving for me that I have been able to visit this Middle East region during this year marking the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. Today, Japan is determined to move forward by making an international contribution commensurate with its political and economic standing in order to realize a better future for all humanity. In the Middle East as well, I have continued to renew my recognition that the peace and prosperity of this region is in the interest of the entire international community, which of course includes Japan; and, believing that it is our primary role to help create a new system of international relations, I came to this region to speak directly to the Heads of State and Government here and to explain the specifics of the contribution which Japan has made and will make in the future. During this visit, I emphasized, first, that Japan was prepared to make a positive and constructive contribution for the peace, stability and prosperity of the Middle East.
