That's what happens when cruel and corrupt African governments do not show concerns about unemployment and low wages

The black immigrants from europe and asia must advise governments
that governments are illegally occupying land belonging to black people.
Advise the Greek government, tell the Italian government, advise the Israeli government.
The land is owned by black people.
The first owners of Greek land is black, the first owners of the Israeli land is black.

The black immigrants should give a deadline for the white invaders
leave the black earth.

Africa is a rich continent, the African ruling class should develop their countries in order to employ their citizen. There is no reason for African people to go over sea to look for work.

Some of the African governments are doing their best to develop their countries. Other African chief of states are members of Western secret society because of that they put the interest of Western countries before the interest of African.

African businessman and bankers should copy the European international bankers. They should create a protocol of Africa, take control of the African countries central banks, turn the timids, incompetents, agents and mercenaries African politicians into mascot and puppet. The greed and ambition and megalomania of African bankers and businessman will create a United States of Africa or a AU like the EU. The African business oligarchy will create a regional or international fiat currency like the US dollar or the Euro that is the key to transform a country into the richest country in the world.

The future of politic is in the hand of the banking and business elite. The African politician are to slow, to weak, to corrupt or agent of Western secret society. The African business elite will create their own native secret society and have their own conspiracy. Only African international bankers can fight European international bankers not African politician.

I agree with Malibudusul Greece, Italy, Palestine were black majority land in Prehistoric and classical time.(even in early middle age).

I agree with Mike white people are the fixed albino children of African and Dravidian from Central Asia. African lived in Russia, Caucasia and Central Asia in prehistory and classical time. it looks like the black Roman clergy and black nobility of Europe accidentally or purposely empower the white/fixed albino race. The minority black European either left Europe for Africa, Latin America and the USA or bleach out by mixing with white people.

So this is how they repay 23,000 Ethiopians?


quote:
Islam came to Ethiopia around 615AD. The first Muslims were immigrants from Mecca due to persecution by the ruling Quraysh tribe. The prophet Mohamed (peace and blessings be upon him) felt Ethiopia to be a safe haven for his relatives and companions. Moslem historians refer to it as the first Higra or migration and the Christian Emperor as Ashama ibn Abjar. The prophet instructed his followers to ‘respect and protect Ethiopia and as well as live in peace with Ethiopian Christians. Today Harar, Ethiopia is considered the fourth holy city of Islam with 82 Mosques three of which date from the 10th. Century.

Muslims also contributed to the fall of the Axumite empire and invaded part of their realm I believe. So much for being grateful, Ethiopians and Africans in general are sh^t on across the Arab world, it's pretty sad.

I will rather be a beggar or a poor farmer in Africa then go to work in Saudi Arabia. Saudi is a strange country were all women are covered from head to toe. There is no movie theater and club in Saudi Arabia. Alcohol is illegal. There is a religious police on your back. People receive lashes in the street, women are stone to death in the street and people are beheaded or amputated by the authorities in the street.

Chinese envoy inspects holy sites metro
 -

JASSIM ABUZAID
Tuesday 16 October 2012
MAKKAH: As the movement of the holy sites metro in Makkah was modified this year to meet the requirement of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, Chinese Ambassador Li Chengwen inspected the project Sunday to review the changes.

Li said he met with the China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC) to ensure a safe, accurate operation for Haj.

“This project is clearly facilitating Haj and is considered a monument to the Saudi-Chinese cooperation that we must sustain and keep it running perfectly. We also must continue providing better services to pilgrims,” Li said.

The ambassador said the holy sites railway has broken some international records. The time between each train station is 17 seconds and each train is 300 meters long. Added to that is the fact that the railway is 18 km long, is not straight but rather consists of curves, upslopes and downslopes. It is very difficult to drive the train, but with joint efforts by both sides, the crews managed to overcome these difficulties, according to officials.

The ambassador said other projects under construction in Saudi Arabia by Chinese companies include King Khalid University in Abha, a cement factory and an oil refinery with annual capacity of 20 million tons.

“This increased cooperation between the two countries is a normal result of the developed relations,” Li said. “China is the second largest economy in the world and is keen to increase its cooperation with all countries especially the friends, not only in economic relations but also in technology. Saudi Arabia is also keen to increase the cooperation with China.”

Li said his country is encouraging Chinese companies to help the Kingdom in achieving its ambition of diversifying industry.

According to CRCC, holy sites Metro is the first engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance project as well as the first mega project executed by a Chinese enterprise in the world as the general contractor to have obtained the safety certificate issued by European Railway Verification Authority.

Makkah Metro is designed to be the most intensely used in capacity and the most complex operation mode, also regarded to be the fastest to build and operate in the highest outdoor temperature in the world.

It was on Feb. 10, 2009, when the contract was signed by China Railway Construction Corporation Limited and Saudi Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs in the presences of both Chinese President Hu Jintao and King Abdullah.

E-gates to stop Hajis without tickets

Monday 15 October 2012
JEDDAH: The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs has begun installing 60 electronic gates at the nine stations of Mashair Railway to prevent the entry of those without tickets. The gates will sound an alarm when a person not carrying the smart card that permits them to use the trains during Haj days goes through them. A person without the e-card would be turned back by security officials through other gates, said the ministry’s undersecretary Habeeb Zain Alabdeen. The gates will go into operation on the ninth day of Dul Hijja when pilgrims go to Arafat.

Alabdeen said the project cost SR 25 million and is carried out as per the highest international specifications. French engineers are supervising the installation of the gates and their electronic fittings and connections to the control room.

The reason i posts those pics was to show how thing have improved in arabia but not just arabia but worldwide.

The west makes some folks think that you can't live a okay or really good life outside of europe or parts of north america.

Look at Mexico in the other thread.

They have a high standard of living but you will not get that idea if you look at certain media if you know what i mean.

I have funny feeling that most are middle income in Saudi arabia and poverty as gone down.

Poverty has gone down worldwide by the way,including africa and south america.
Improvement in government,building new infrastructure and less corruption is happening in africa,south america etc....
Standards of living are improving worldwide.
Some regions or countries quicker then others of course but it's happening.


Saudi Arabia
Population:
26,939,583 (July 2013 est.)

note: includes 5,576,076 non-nationals

Unemployment rate:
10.6% (2012 est.)

10.9% (2011 est.)


Population below poverty line:
NA%

Industrial production growth rate:
7.1% (2012 est.)

GDP - real growth rate:

8.5% (2011 est.)
7.4% (2010 est.)

GDP (purchasing power parity):
$921.7 billion (2012 est.)

Economy - overview:
Saudi Arabia has an oil-based economy with strong government controls over major economic activities. It possesses about 17% of the world's proven petroleum reserves, ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum, and plays a leading role in OPEC. The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 80% of budget revenues, 45% of GDP, and 90% of export earnings. Saudi Arabia is encouraging the growth of the private sector in order to diversify its economy and to employ more Saudi nationals. Diversification efforts are focusing on power generation, telecommunications, natural gas exploration, and petrochemical sectors. Over 5 million foreign workers play an important role in the Saudi economy, particularly in the oil and service sectors, while Riyadh is struggling to reduce unemployment among its own nationals. Saudi officials are particularly focused on employing its large youth population, which generally lacks the education and technical skills the private sector needs. Riyadh has substantially boosted spending on job training and education, most recently with the opening of the King Abdallah University of Science and Technology - Saudi Arabia's first co-educational university. As part of its effort to attract foreign investment, Saudi Arabia acceded to the WTO in 2005. The government has begun establishing six "economic cities" in different regions of the country to promote foreign investment and plans to spend $373 billion between 2010 and 2014 on social development and infrastructure projects to advance Saudi Arabia''s economic development.

The population of Saudi Arabia is not 29 million. More like 5 million. The rest are imported office help, peons and slaves. With all that money they are still woefully dumb. IQ in the 70s. But they are experts in head-chopping, rape of domestic servants, and other assorted savageries.

Just new business for some Western company. The money left over from boozing and whoring in hotels they bought in the West is what they use to import and implant all that Western veneer of buildings and shopping malls.

The population of Saudi Arabia is not 26 million. Nations self-report so this is an obvious lie. The actual population is some 5 million with the rest of the population being imported office workers, peons and slaves--plus hangers-on after the Haj.

Ann all those buildings are just money handed over to Western companies to build modern buildings and shopping malls. The rest of the money petroleum gives them is used up in whoring and boozing in owned hotels bought in places like London. Despite all that money that could be used for education the Saudi IQ is still in the 70s and as a result they must import people to do work for them from technologists all the way down to domestics--routinely raped.

Just to be sure,


Saudi Arabia’s population is 27 million, including 8.4 million foreign residents (2010 census), and its capital city is Riyadh.

As I said nations self-report on matters such as population, etc. The Saudis are certified liars so just don't believe their lying BS. Useless and cruel for the most part. Just that BP carved out the kingdom for them many years ago and since that time they could indulge their primitive habits to the hearts' content.

The indigenous Saudi population was 1,500,000 in 1900. In 1950 it was 3,000,000. Now figure out the rest.

http://looklex.com/e.o/saudi_arabia.demographics.htm

The indigenous population of Saudi Arabia doubled 11 times through the 20th century, a very high figure, but not dramatic considering that oil revenues that have permitted many projects of land reclamation and artificial water production.
Population growth rate has gone down significantly over recent years, from 3.4% in 1999 to 1.8% for 2009. There has been substantial decrease in the fertility rate, from 6.4 children per mother in 1999 to 3.8 in 2009. This is still a very high figure, and with a median age of 22 years, the situation is that there are a staggering 11 births to each death case.
The big question is then how can the population growth be is lower than the fertility rate? It usually is the opposite. The reason is one only, a reversal of the migration waves. Back in 1999 there used to be a net immigration of 1.4 per 1,000 inhabitants, now it is -7.6 per 1000, making Saudi Arabia one of the biggest exporters of people in the world: 220,000 more people will leave Saudi Arabia in 2009 alone than the ones moving to the country.
Fresh population projections for Saudi Arabia are far less dramatic than they were just a few years back, it is now suggested that 60 million will live here by 2050.
More information of demography is found in other Iran articles about ethnic composition, first languages spoken and religious adherence. There is also information relevant to demographics under education and health.

I know that you are numerically challenged but really a 12 year old will see that the Saudis began cooking the books from 1950 onwards. Looks like they were counting camels and goats too.

Disgusting how African government cringe before vile head-choppers and keep allowing their brainwashed citizens to spend good money to kiss Arab a** in Arabia. Whover said that the First shall be Last was talking real history.

If the population of Saudi Arabia is 5 million people and they have 20 million foreign workers like Lamin is saying the 20 million workers should conspire to take over Saudi Arabia from the Saudi like the Mameluke and Ottoman Turks took control of Egypt and west Asia from the Abbassid Arabs.

The USA didn't have to buy oil from the religious fanatic Saudi Arabs. Africa and the Carribean have many unexploited oil field. I guest making Arabs fanatic rich is better then making black people rich.

I go this info from another website

Nyumba-

The first beneficiaries of the bad image of Africa portrayed in the medias are NGOs

quote:



something like a month ago I saw a news about Nigeria on TV, they transmitted images of

Darfour
Ethiopian famine
some donkeys in a West African region

as the natural images to be associated with a news story from Nigeria.

And who benefits from such ignorance?

the NGOs

how can I say this? We absolutely need them: they are westerners, they are trained, they are good-hearted people...

the reality is different:

- ONU FOOD is rotten
- NGO financed schools are PRIVATE and nevertheless they give ONU FOOD to students
- most of them simply build a CHURCH and take 20 photos of African children, then they print a calendar and sell it in western countries earning 200'000



Hiding the Real Africa

quote:



Why NGOs prefer bad news

By: Karen Rothmyer
And now for some good news out of Africa. Poverty rates throughout the continent have been falling steadily and much faster than previously thought, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. The death rate of children under five years of age is dropping, with “clear evidence of accelerating rates of decline,” according to The Lancet. Perhaps most encouragingly, Africa is “among the world’s most rapidly growing economic regions,” according to the McKinsey Quarterly.
Yet US journalism continues to portray a continent of unending horrors. Last June, for example, Time magazine published graphic pictures of a naked woman from Sierra Leone dying in childbirth. Not long after, CNN did a story about two young Kenyan boys whose family is so poor they are forced to work delivering goats to a slaughterhouse for less than a penny per goat. Reinforcing the sense of economic misery, between May and September 2010 the ten most-read US newspapers and magazines carried 245 articles mentioning poverty in Africa, but only five mentioning gross domestic product growth.
Reporters’ attraction to certain kinds of Africa stories has a lot to do with the frames of reference they arrive with. Nineteenth century New York Herald correspondent Henry M. Stanley wrote that he was prepared to find Zanzibar “populated by ignorant blacks, with great thick lips, whose general appearance might be compared to Du Chaillu’s gorillas.” Since the Biafran War, a cause célèbre in the West, helped give rise in the late 1960s to the new field of human rights, Western reporters have closely tracked issues like traditional female circumcision. In the 1980s, a famine in Ethiopia that, in fact, had as much to do with politics as with drought, set a pattern of stories about “starving Africans” that not only hasn’t been abandoned, but continues to grow: according to a 2004 study done by Steven S. Ross, then a Columbia journalism professor, between 1998 and 2002 the number of stories about famine in Africa tripled. In Kenya, where I was a Peace Corps volunteer in the late 1960s and where I returned to live four years ago, The New York Times description of post-election violence in 2007 as a manifestation of “atavistic” tribalism carried echoes of Stanley and other early Western visitors.
But the main reason for the continued dominance of such negative stereotypes, I have come to believe, may well be the influence of Western-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international aid groups like United Nations agencies. These organizations understandably tend to focus not on what has been accomplished but on convincing people how much remains to be done. As a practical matter, they also need to attract funding. Together, these pressures create incentives to present as gloomy a picture of Africa as possible in order to keep attention and money flowing, and to enlist journalists in disseminating that picture.
Africans themselves readily concede that there continues to be terrible conflict and human suffering on the continent. But what’s lacking, say media observers like Sunny Bindra, a Kenyan management consultant, is context and breadth of coverage so that outsiders can see the continent whole—its potential and successes along with its very real challenges. “There are famines; they’re not made up,” Bindra says. “There are arrogant leaders. But most of the journalism that’s done doesn’t challenge anyone’s thinking.”
Over the past thirty years, NGOs have come to play an increasingly important role in aid to Africa. A major reason is that Western donors, worried about government corruption, have channelled more funds through them. In the mid-1970s, less than half a dozen NGOs (like the Red Cross or CARE) might operate in a typical African country, according to Nicolas van de Walle, a professor of government at Cornell, but now the same country will likely have 250.
This explosive NGO growth means increasing competition for funds. And according to the head of a large US-based NGO in Nairobi, “When you’re fundraising you have to prove there is a need. Children starving, mothers dying. If you’re not negative enough, you won’t get funding.” So fierce is the competition that many NGOs don’t want to hear good news. An official of an organization that provides data on Somalia’s food situation says that after reporting a bumper harvest last year, “I was told by several NGOs and UN agencies that the report was too positive.”
Rasna Warah, a Kenyan who worked for UN-Habitat before leaving to pursue a writing career, says that exaggerations of need were not uncommon among aid officials she encountered. “They wanted journalists to say ‘Wow.’ They want them to quote your report,” she says. “That means more money for the next report. It’s really as cynical as that.”
Western journalists, for their part, tend to be far too trusting of aid officials, according to veteran Dutch correspondent Linda Polman. In her book The Crisis Caravan, she cites as one example the willingness of journalists to be guided around NGO-run refugee camps without asking tough questions about possible corruption or the need for such facilities. She writes, “Aid organizations are businesses dressed up like Mother Teresa, but that’s not how reporters see them.”
Pushed and pulled by slashed budgets and increased demands, journalists are growing increasingly reliant on aid groups. Sometimes that involves not just information or a seat on a supply plane, but deep involvement in the entire journalistic process.
In an online essay written in 2009, Kimberly Abbott of the International Crisis Group discussed a 2005 Nightline program on Uganda that her NGO helped to produce and fund. It was hosted by actor Don Cheadle, the star of Hotel Rwanda. Nightline’s Ted Koppel explained in his introduction, as retold by Abbott: “Cheadle wanted his wife and daughters to get a sense of the kind of suffering that is so widespread in Africa. The International Crisis Group wanted publicity for what is happening in Uganda. And we, to put it bluntly, get to bring you a riveting story at a greatly reduced expense.” According to Abbott, “versions of such partnerships are happening now in print and broadcast newsrooms across the country, though many are reluctant to discuss them too openly.”
Daniel Dickinson, a former BBC reporter who is now a communications officer for the European Union in Nairobi, has seen the impact of technology and economics on reporting on Africa first-hand. “The big difference in the past five to ten years is the expansion of the Internet,” he says. “Journalists have got to feed these animals. Add to that the financial crash, and more and more internationals are taking the content we offer them.”
Ben Parker, co-founder and head of IRIN, a news agency that is part of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, admires Dickinson’s success. “He does stories and they’re picked up whole,” Parker says. IRIN itself can point to many similar successes in finding takers for its stories on aid projects. “The Western media won’t reprint us verbatim,” he says. “But some plagiarize.”
Lauren Gelfand, a correspondent for Jane’s Defence Weekly who is based in Nairobi, says most reporters she knows string for three or four news organizations to make ends meet, and can’t afford to do time-consuming stories. She saw the effect when she took a year off from journalism to work for Oxfam. “If reporters were going to cover a development story it had to be easy,” remembers Gelfand, noting that the simplest sell was a celebrity visit to an aid project.
Gelfand says that her Oxfam experience helped her to understand just how much attention ngos put on getting their story told. “All the talking points are carefully worked out…. It’s a huge bureaucracy and there are as many levels of control as in any government,” she says of Oxfam, adding that many NGOs are reluctant to cooperate with media unless they know they’ll be shown in a positive light.
To be fair to the NGOs, Gelfand says, “It’s easier to sell a famine than to effect real, common-sense policy change.” And, she says, she continues to believe that most aid workers do what they do because they want to make a difference. Nonetheless, “A lot of what Oxfam does is to sustain Oxfam.”
Stories featuring aid projects often rely on dubious numbers provided by the organizations. Take Kibera, a poor neighborhood in Nairobi. A Nexis search of major world publications found Kibera described as the “biggest” or “largest” slum in Africa at least thirty-four times in 2004; in the first ten months of 2010 the claim appeared eighty-three times. Many of those stories focused on the work of one of the estimated 6,000 or more local and international NGOs working there, and cited population figures that ranged as high as one million residents. Recently, however, the results of Kenya’s 2009 census were released: according to the official tally, Kibera has just 194,269 residents. In 2010, Rasna Warah wrote in the Daily Nation, a Kenyan paper, that while working for the Worldwatch Institute, an NGO, she had published inflated population estimates using UN-Habitat data, despite knowing there was no consensus on the numbers among her former colleagues at the organization. Sometime after 2004, she wrote, population estimates for Kibera started to rise, and “Before we knew it, the figure spread like a virus.” She added, “The inflated figures were not challenged, perhaps because they were useful to various actors…. They were particularly useful to NGOs, which used them to ‘shock’ charities and other do-gooders into donating more money to their projects in Kibera.”Questionable figures of another sort are to be found in reports on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, a series of targets on poverty reduction and other measures of well-being. UN and NGO officials routinely describe Africa as failing to meet the goals, and the press routinely writes up this failure.
But some experts, among them Jan Vandemoortele, one of the architects of the MDGS, have expressed concern that the goals are being misused. He wrote in 2009 that the MDGS were intended as global targets, but have been improperly applied to individual countries and regions. “It is a real tragedy when respectable progress in Africa is reported as a failure by international organizations and external observers,” Vandemoortele wrote, voicing the suspicion that particular measurements have been selected “so as to present Africa as a failure, solely to gain support for a particular agenda, strategy, or argument.”
Nonetheless, when the UN met in September, The Associated Press quoted UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as saying, “Many countries are falling short, especially in Africa,” while the Los Angeles Times quoted an Oxfam report as saying, “Unless an urgent rescue package is developed to accelerate fulfillment of all the MDGS, we are likely to witness the greatest collective failure in history.”
The consequences of skewed or incomplete reporting on Africa are not just a disservice to readers but also have the potential to influence policy. “The welfare model [of Africa] is still dominant on the Hill and in Hillary Clinton’s world,” according to van de Walle. Among corporate officials, says Catherine Duggan, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School, the perception is still that “Africa is where you put your money once you’ve made it somewhere else.” Moreover, such reporting is demoralizing to Africans working for change. Martin Dawes, a unicef regional chief of communication for West and Central Africa, says that when there is a disaster, journalists “come to us as aid workers but often don’t talk to the government, which is often what we’re working through. It means that the chances for Africans to show an engaged response is limited. They are written out of their own story.”
Even with shrinking resources, journalists can do better than this. For a start, they can stop depending so heavily, and uncritically, on aid organizations for statistics, subjects, stories, and sources. They can also educate themselves on how to find and interpret data available from independent sources. And they can actively seek out stories that deviate from existing story lines.
But in the end, it will probably take sustained economic progress to break the current mold. Sunny Bindra, the Kenyan management consultant, recalls that in the 1980s, “Japan got attention because it was whacking the US. It’s the same with India and China now.” Until that happens, a sick African woman in labor will continue to be treated as poverty porn, and most Africans will have to starve in order to make it onto the evening news.

This is usually how it went. One of the many compliments given toward African civilizations in the past was how generally friendly and hospitable the natives were. It would later come to bit them in the behind when the foreigners try to take over.

The mulato Saudi Arab are so stupid. The original Arabs came from Kush, Abyssinia and East Africa. Those mulato Arabs mistreating and deporting Ethiopian immigrants are disrespecting their ancestors. Black Arab mixing with white Turk to become light skin doesn't mean you no longer black. The black race is the foundation race, it doesn't disappear.

So what can be said about whats happening to Migrant workers in the arab countries?? Slave like conditions, rape, torture, murder, mental health abuse(suicide is a mental illness).

Like the last thread I have to say that this isn't shocking behavior when it comes to Arabs. They have this delusion of importance and think that their better then Africans and other peoples. Its shown in ME, and North Africa. The Saudis are some of the worse.

Ethiopians and even other migrant muslims are treated like dogs in that country because they the Saudi nationals are supported by their leaders to treat them like that.

World is evil, love not the world people:
