Saudi news

A Saudi source sent me this (she does not want to be identified): "Noura Al-Faiz was the Director of the Institute of Public Administration-Women Section. She is extremely cautious due to the religious establishment attacks on the progressive institue. Ibrahim al-Ghaith, now the ex -head of the religious police and his hires always had it in for the women section of the institute. She is an outstanding person. The ministry of Health is one of the most incompetent ministries in the Kingdom. Abdul Allah Al Al Rabia, the new Minister of Health was the Chief Executive Officer is a traditional man. He is an excellent peditatric surgeon. He operates and successfully in separating siamese twins that got him big publicity. It obviously got him what he wanted: the Ministry of Health."
