Saudi-Yemen Airspace Update Written by David Mumford | 17 March, 2021
Saudi-Yemen Airspace Update written by David Mumford | 17 March, 2021 Houthi drone and missile attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia are increasing. These continue to be a persistent threat to ops to Saudi airports, and for overflights of the OEJD/Jeddah FIR. The most significant risk is in the south of the country along the border with Yemen, but OERK/Riyadh and OEJN/Jeddah airports have also been targeted several times over the past year. OEJN/Jeddah Airport closed temporarily on March 7 following multiple attempted drone attacks. Saudi media reported dozens of drones were intercepted in their airspace, and the US Embassy also issued a statement. OERK/Riyadh Airport was targeted in June 2020 and again in October. Much of the information comes from state media and cannot always be independently verified. Back in 2017, a New York Times investigation suggested that at least one of the most high-profile attacks from that year may not have been “shot-down” or intercepted by Saudi defense systems at all. Saudi Arabia Airspace Risk Long-standing airspace warnings are in place for Saudi Arabia, although the US has not issued any so far. Germany and Canada warn of a risk to landing anywhere in the country, but particularly along the border with Yemen in the southwest part of the OEJD/Jeddah FIR. France has issued similar advice, with the specific warning not to operate to OEAB/Abha, OEGN/Jazan, OENG/Nejran, OESH/Sharurah, OEWD/Wadi Al Dawasir and OEBH/Bisha airports.

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Compassionate Arriyadh holds a strategic and pivotal role as the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which is the birthplace of the Message of Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon Him) and the location of the Two Holy Mosques. The dynamic capital hosts diplomatic, Islamic, political, economic, financial, trade, scientific, technological and educational institutions and is a fast developing national, regional and international center. Arriyadh is also a hub of administration with national cultural and heritage bodies and activities. the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman Bin Abdulaziz (may God bless him) has over many decades actively supported Arriyadh and its remarkable development. Today, with his Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Interior; and the Deputy Crown Prince and Defence Minister; King Salman is ably guiding the development of the Kingdom, its capital and provinces and ensuring the welfare, security and prosperity of the nation’s population. Evidence of this is seen in the range of visionary development and infrastructure projects, which are helping to transform the Kingdom and the wider region. The development process in Arriyadh does not focus on specific areas or sectors. Rather it embraces a wide and comprehensive range of projects and needs. These include ambitious programs in transportation. The King Abdulaziz Public Transport Project in Arriyadh City is the largest of its kind and will provide a network of metro and bus services in the capital. The King Khaled International Airport Development Project will considerably expand passenger and airfreight capacity; and national and regional projects to develop railroad and road networks will soon offer remarkable improvements in transportation within the Kingdom and GCC. -

Elnaggar a,b ORIGINAL ARTICLE aDepartment of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Alkharj, Saudi Arabia; bDepartment of Physical Therapy for Pediatrics, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt ∗Corresponding author: Tel: +966580422762; Fax: 0115882000; E-mail: [email protected] Received 9 March 2020; revised 19 April 2020; editorial decision 26 April 2020; accepted 19 May 2020 Background: Over recent decades, there has been a dramatic transformation in mechanization reaching all aspects of people’s lives in Saudi Arabia. In the light of this, there was a significant change in physical behavior in the community. The aim of the current study was to investigate the national and regional distribution of physical activity practice among adults aged ≥15 y across Saudi Arabia. Methods: Data from the Bulletin of Household Sports Practice National Survey were used to determine the physical activity practice distribution. A total of 26 000 families from 13 administrative regions across Saudi Arabia were surveyed. Results: The proportion of the total Saudi population who were practitioners of physical activity (i.e. ≥150 min per week) among Saudi adults aged ≥15 y was 17.40%, while the proportion of non-practitioners was 82.60%. Conclusion: This study found a low level of physical activity among Saudi adults who meet physical activity guidelines. These findings suggest that interventions and promotional programs should be developed to increase physical activity among the Saudi population. -

Saudi 28 Pages & 911 Report 14.9.16
Saudi Arabia and 9/11: Establishing the Truth Behind the Release of the 28 Pages and the “Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act” By Anthony H. Cordesman Update: September 14, 2016 Please provide comments to [email protected] Cover: DoD photo by Master Sgt. Ben Bloker, U.S. Air Force Saudi Arabia and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Attack 14/9/16 2 Saudi Arabia and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act President Obama has made it clear that he intends to veto the legislation the House passed on September 9, 2016 that would allow families of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for any role its officials played in the terrorist attack. He should veto the bill and the Congress should pause and not override that veto. It is all too easy to understand anger the families and survivors of those who were victims on 9/11 feel, and the desire they have to find someone to punish and blame and for some compensation for their losses. It is equally easy to understand the mixed motives of a Congress caught up in the politics of tenth anniversary of the attack, an election year, and the desire not to seem soft on terrorism. Saudi Arabia is also one of America’s most difficult strategic partners for Americans to understand, and its progress, reforms, and strategic importance are often badly understated. It is easier to focus on the fact it is an Islamic state at a time when extremist threats like ISIS, Al Qaida, and the Taliban, than deal with the complicated security issues in the Gulf region and the fact the U.S. -
