Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.
I will never forget having to edit Jamalโs final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggiโs assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.
A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

What Effect Did Trump Have on Australiaโs Election?
The global turmoil wreaked by President Trumpโs policies made him a factor in the election, bolstering the re-election of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Looking at recent #elections in #Canada ๐จ๐ฆ and #Australia ๐ฆ๐บ -- it is difficult to think of other elections outside the U.S. that have been influenced so significantly by current political leadership in the U.S. ๐บ๐ธ, and in ways unintended by that leadership.
