Arab Americans' Political Power: How will they affect the 2024 presidential election? (part 2 of 2) In this episode, I also discuss the following with my guest scholar, Dr. Hani Bawardi: ►Do Arab Americans have powerful political lobbies? If not, why not? ►Can Arab American impact the outcome of the 2024 election? ►Are Arab Americans united about the ongoing conflict in Palestine? ►Are Arab Americans loyal to America? ►What is the population of Arab Americans? ►Was assimilating into America's culture particularly difficult for Arab Americans? ►Did American politicians categorize Arab Americans as inferior to White Americans? ►Was Arab immigration to the U.S. restricted by a quota system? ►Did Arabs immigrate to the U.S. in waves or trickle in over decades? ►Why are so many grocery stores owned by Arab Americans? I will post the video of this conversation in the coming few weeks. For now, you can listen to it in our audio podcast program: https://bit.ly/UME-Spotify #arabamericans #arab

Journal of World Sociopolitical Studies
The Rise of the Military and the Prospects of Politico-Economic Developments in Egypt Javad Sharbaf, Assistant Professor of West Asian Studies, University of Tehran, Iran (sharbaf@ut.ac.ir) Mohammad Abdolkhani, PhD Student of Political Sciences, Allameh Tabataba’I University, Iran (Corresponding Author: m_abdolkhani@alumni.ut.ac.ir) https://lnkd.in/eSzxcxua Abstract Although the 2011 uprisings in Egypt led to the fall of Hosni Mubarak, they have not yet been able to change the nature of the country’s political system. A year after the country’s first non-military president took office, Egypt’s political situation became more or less similar to the way it had been before 2011. The structure of the relationship between the state and the society in Egypt, highly affected by vast military influence, could be explained through Guillermo O'Donnell’s model of “Bureaucratic Authoritarianism”. The Islamists’ weakness in establishing a powerful government granted a proper excuse for the military to obtain direct rule over the country through a modern 21st -century coup d’état. The basis for legitimizing this move, in addition to the Islamists’ weakness, was the claim that the 2011 coup d’état had the same public support as the 1952 coup d’état. Consequently, the military enacted legal mechanisms and introduced a presidential candidate who ultimately won the elections, giving back the military its previous position. It seems that the military authoritarian government in Egypt would enjoy relative legitimacy by focusing on providing economic and political stability, while paving the way for preserving its own long-term politico-economic interests. Therefore, it is likely that if the status quo– which relies upon widespread repression of the Islamists and the weakness and passivity of the liberal movements– is maintained, the authoritarian military rule over Egypt will continue

Honored to be quoted in this article for TRT World on declining birth rates in the GCC by Yousra Abdelal. Some Gulf women are delaying marriage and motherhood to prioritize their education and careers, especially as state projects require their participation in development. Exclusivist understandings of national identity also play a big role in the convo. As I noted, “How GCC states choose to define national identity moving forward is a really important question, as multiculturalism already plays a huge role in the countries’ social landscapes.” https://lnkd.in/erRVJqy5

"As philanthropy begins to interrogate its grantmaking and investment practices, we are compelled to name the importance of deepening support to BIPOC-led community organizing, especially Palestinian movement leaders organizing against US militarism’s violence. Because philanthropy participates in and benefits from America’s exploitative economy, US-based funders in particular must recognize that the extractive nature of our war economy has implications domestically and internationally. While BIPOC communities bear the brunt of the carceral system, lack of public resources, precarious work, and scarcity of affordable housing, communities abroad also stagger under the weight of both US-driven and funded imperialist extraction through direct occupation, military aid and arms sales (resulting in mass manufacturer profits), military-led “development” projects, and resource theft."

Iraq's international image has suffered. That makes it tough to attract foreign VC investment. Here's how Amer S., founder of Iraqi startup iQ Cars, views the situation: "The ecosystem’s youth, and the subsequent scarcity of local VCs, exacerbate the need for foreign VC investment. A seemingly obvious place to start is the neighboring GCC countries, some of whom have both internalized and financially acted upon the opportunities tech represents. Two main obstacles have hindered GCC VCs’ investment in the Iraqi market. One is fair and the other one is unfair. Let’s start with the unfair one. There is still, even in the region, a deep misconception regarding the Iraqi market. An ominous mysticism seems to envelop it as if the country wasn’t allowed to move on from its troubled past. This hinders objective, pragmatic analysis of what the Iraqi opportunity looks like. Many question its scalability, when Iraq has the fourth largest population size in MENA (Middle East and North Africa), hosting over 40 million people. The country’s abundant oil wealth trickles down, albeit perilously, to the population and confers the average Iraqi with decent buying power. Iraq has clear market potential. The timid foreign VC interest so far means many antiquated sectors have still not received significant startup attention. Opportunities to take market share in a variety of industries abound. Onto the fair obstacle. In the context of fostering foreign investor interest, Iraq’s corporate laws are indeed outdated. For example, Iraqi law stipulates that foreign ownership in Iraqi companies cannot exceed 49% (except in Iraq’s Kurdish region). This blocks foreign founders but also impedes foreign investors from taking big bets on Iraqi startups. The few Iraqi startups that raise money from foreign investors resort to complicated legal set-ups, putting neither party at ease. On top of the foreign ownership regulation, Iraqi corporate law doesn’t display enough robustness for foreign investors to feel their investment will be protected."

Reflections on the Panel Discussion Hosted by Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) During the panel discussion organized by the ULB titled "Israel-#Palestine: Where Are We Heading?" which hosted diverse personalities including a former (non-extremist) Israeli ambassador, I was struck by the presence of more than a hundred people interested in attending such an event. On the other hand, more than a hundred others were protesting outside against the hosting of an Israeli ambassador. This raised many questions for me about the future implications of what is happening in #Gaza, whether it be the trajectory of the Palestinian cause, Israel's impunity, or the structures of international justice. The most important point worth mentioning and praising is the university's effort in organizing and hosting a somewhat balanced dialogue and constructive discourse on an important event. I believe this is the first dialogue organized by a major university about Gaza in the face of either complete silence or excessive repression practiced by university administrations worldwide.

Sudan has now reached the one year mark with the war between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces (RAF), a powerful rival rebel group, competing for power! Both sides are receiving substantial weaponry and assistance from outside countries! The Sudanese people are suffering mightily, with cities, including the capital of Khartoum, being heavily bombed! Hospitals, schools and food markets have been destroyed! Thousands of civilians have already died, diseases are running rampant, and millions of Sudanese refugees are on the move seeking safe havens in neighboring countries! I was interviewed on Alsharq Cable News Network yesterday, on what it will take to end the war in Sudan, and what role can the Biden Administration play in ending the war? The U.S. is one of the largest donors of relief aid in Sudan, and the Biden Administration has actively engaged the African Union and countries across the region, to bring an end to this horrific situation, and to bring the warring parties together, to stop the fighting! However, with the war raging nearby between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and with high tension now between Israel and Iran, which could easily spread region wide — coupled with this being a contentious presidential election year here in the U.S., for sure it is going to be very difficult to get the U.S. to increase its focus on Sudan now! Alsharq is a 24-hours cable news network based in Saudi Arabia. I am often called on to provide analysis on issues in Sudan and North Africa, and to bring a voice from Washington!

In my weekly online program about the SCO 2024 Summit I highlighted the strategic importance because the economies of the developing world are bolstering their efforts to coordinate their policies on a wide range of global issues, including rising security tensions, mounting protectionism in the world's economies, and intensifying competition in high-tech space, Thus this summit would enhance trade, and financial sector cooperation, as well as coordination in the flow of investment and labor migration. Moreover I shared that the SCO 2024 may further enhance economic integration, and may become the main platform for the Eurasian To conclude I highlighted the strategic vision of Kazakhstan President “New Kazakhstan” has numerous similarities with the SCO mission. I suggested that formation of the SCO Development Bank, SCO Green Energy Bank, SCO Health Bank, SCO Food Security Bank, and last but not least SCO Human Capital Bank should be formed as soon as possible enabling all member countries to jointly work for greater regional connectivity, immense socio-economic integration, infrastructure development, qualitative industrialization, digitalization, E-commerce.

Molly Hickey, a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University, received an ACOR-CAORC Predoctoral Fellowship for 2023–2024. In the latest essay on Insights, she discusses "How Regional Dynamics Impact Domestic Politics: The Case of Fuel Subsidy Reform in Jordan": "Addressing the cost of fuel subsidies is one of the most politically challenging reforms a government can attempt. While subsidies pose a heavy burden on budgets and tend to accrue benefits toward the wealthy, they are quite popular with a large segment of the population, as they serve as a key supplement to those with low incomes. Since announcing its intention to put an end to fuel subsidies in 2004, the #Jordanian government has faced a number of political challenges. While many of these obstacles are typical of any country attempting a politically challenging reform, some of the most acute impediments have come in the form of unstable regional dynamics."

Prof Dr. Elham Manea
I am grateful for the endorsements of my book, "The Yemeni Civil War: The Arab Spring, State Formation, and Internal Instability," from two renowned experts on Yemen. The first endorsement is from Prof. Dr. Ahmad Yousef, an esteemed Egyptian political science professor known in Yemen as the "Master of Professors" (أستاذ الأساتذة) in recognition of his extensive expertise and knowledge on Yemen. The second endorsement comes from Dr. Marieke Brandt, an Austrian social anthropologist whose publications on Yemen have established her as an academic authority, particularly regarding the Houthi movement and tribalism in northern Yemen. Prof. Dr. Ahmad Yousef: 'The importance of this book lies not only in the fact that it introduces a comprehensive analysis of the dilemma of instability in Yemen, but also because of its theoretical framework that is pertinent to understanding Arab internal politics in general, especially after the "Arab spring". In fact, Dr. Elham Manea has excelled in grasping all the key factors needed to understand Yemeni politics, let alone her ability to underline their relative weights, forecasting different scenarios of the Yemeni future. I believe that reading her distinguished work is an indispensable and serious attempt for finding a lasting settlement in Yemen.' Dr. Marieke Brandt; 'This is a compelling analysis of Yemen’s ongoing struggles. Elham Manea’s book offers innovative insights that make it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Yemen and the region.'

Nine months ago, when I made the decision to take a public stance on the genocide in Gaza, on the platform I was supposed to use to build and grow my professional brand, I was scared. I was scared of being labeled and canceled. And I was. I was scared I would lose connections and opportunities. And I have. I was worried it would take a toll on my wellbeing. And it did. I won’t lie, the act of following this genocide is extremely scary and exhausting. Let alone deciding to talk about it publicly on a regular basis. It’s not easy, and to be honest, I can’t wait to get back to my normal life. But a genocide is still going on. so I don’t feel like I have a choice, and I don’t feel like giving up. I don’t like giving up. And while it remains a struggle to keep going, the people I got to know, who shared that struggle with me give me strength and inspiration. One of those people is Joe Taylor, MSc, MA. Joe and other friends recognized that there are many people who believe in human rights and international law, care about all people – including Palestinians and are concerned about the atrocities in Gaza. But are worried about taking an action for the reasons I mentioned. Joe started an initiative called Bystanders No More to empower people who are willing to take an action and are worried that they might not have enough knowledge, or don’t know of ways to take an action that is suitable for them, even if they are understandably not willing to take big risks and expose themselves to the struggles that come with taking a public stance. Bystanders No More is rooted in the belief that people power democracies – and that people become empowered to act upon their beliefs and values when they are given access to trustworthy resources and a safe space to get informed. The overall goal of this project is to provide supportive education and actionable suggestions for people who are ready (or nearly ready) to take an action against the genocide in Gaza.

From Elica Le Bon الیکا ل بن @elicalebon on TWITTER "I can’t believe I have to explain what’s happening here, but here goes. Elite students of Ivy League schools have glamorized oppression so much that they have now reached role play status to satisfy their fantasies. Here, the students have appropriated the suffering of Gazans and are cosplaying as living through humanitarian crisis. In their American make-believe story where Ivy League infrastructure sets the scene, the students play Gazans and the school administration plays Israel. Israel (the school) is blocking their “basic humanitarian aid” in this play, and if they don’t receive it soon, they will “die of thirst and starvation” (appropriating exact experiences of Gazans). They also destroy upper class buildings and claim them as “liberated” while the students repeat chants in zombie-like chorus, playing the roll of “freedom fighters” destroying Israeli infrastructure and claiming them freed. If I’m alive in a world where people don’t see the levels of perversion in this, I give up. You don’t see this in lower tier schools from kids of lower socio-economic standing because they aren’t plagued with the guilt of privilege that they’re seeking to launder through Middle East role plays of feigned suffering. This is as first world dystopia as it gets. Meanwhile, these Ivy League students who can have much more than a glass of water and as much food as their stomachs can take are commanding the attention of the media and the entire American audience, while actual Gazans who need humanitarian aid are ignored. I still have to pinch myself that people don’t see this." https://lnkd.in/e3Q4DUt9

Well said, Dan Wallace! It was such a great event - some very simple, yet profound insights from Salman Elmi and Zack Steven. I loved the simple question Tavolo asked with their early market research: "If we could solve this problem would you pay us?" This was AFTER the realization they had spent too much time focusing on the product and not enough on the customer problem. That takes great humility, resilience, and focus. And it has paid off. What a great pivot story. Tavolo's story is also further evidence that investors and customers want to work with people who get stuff done - everyone who met the Tavolo team could clearly see they were going to solve this problem with or without the funding. Incredible! #pivot #productmarketfit #startup #founder #resilience #productmanagement Also great to meet Colin Hirdman, Ty Domben, Michael Jancik-Kitowski and hear about new ventures and creative solutions to problems in the marketplace.
