Warning Against Political Divisions

During his address, attended by Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed bin Mubarak, al-Arada warned against ongoing political disputes, party rivalries, and the resurgent tribalism that hinders progress. He criticized the tendency to dwell on past conflicts and tragedies, which only serve to deepen divisions within the Republican ranks.

He stressed the importance of correcting the political course and moderating media discourse.

Unity Against Oppression

He commended the government’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by various sectors and emphasized the need for a collaborative approach to restore economic stability and alleviate the burdens on citizens.
