Students from Islamic University of Madinah to guide pilgrims in Hajj animal sacrifice
MADINAH: Muslim students from the Islamic University of Madinah in the Hejaz Region are participating in the Hajj rituals of Hady and Adahi by offering guidance on animal sacrifice this weekend.
Some 300 students representing 40 nationalities will take part in the annual sacrifice of animals through Saudi Arabia's Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi.
Students will educate and guide pilgrims, ensuring adherence to the Prophet's Sunnah during the performance of the rituals, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The project was established in 1983 to carry on the Hady and Adahi rituals on behalf of any Muslim, and supervise the use of Hajj meat and its distribution to the destitute.
During pilgrimage, which concludes this year on Monday, June 9, pilgrims are required to sacrifice an animal in a ritual called Hady.
Adahi is a voluntary sacrifice for non-pilgrim Muslims which takes place on the day of Eid Al-Adha.
In collaboration with the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, the student initiative aims to supervise the rituals according to Islamic law, the SPA added.

How NEOM is rewilding Saudi Arabia and reviving ancient falconry traditions
RIYADH: As the world marks World Environment Day, a global celebration of nature and a call to protect our planet, attention turns to an ecological transformation taking place in northwestern Saudi Arabia. NEOM, the Kingdom's futuristic megacity project, is rapidly becoming a haven for biodiversity — and at the heart of this effort is a renewed commitment to falcon conservation. Under the banner of the Hadad Program, NEOM is working in partnership with the Saudi Falcons Club and other national entities to reintroduce native falcon species to the Arabian Peninsula, rebuild local ecosystems, and revive an ancient cultural tradition. The work being done in NEOM is about more than saving birds; it is about restoring balance to a landscape often misunderstood as barren and bringing nature back to the center of modern development. Since 1973, June 5 has been observed as World Environment Day. Led by the UN Environment Programme, it serves as a platform to raise awareness and prompt action on pressing environmental issues from climate change and pollution to biodiversity loss. Announced in 2017 as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 reform agenda, NEOM is a $500 billion mega-project designed to reshape the future of urban living, sustainability and technology. Encompassing 26,500 square kilometers of mountains, desert, and coastline along the Red Sea, NEOM's planners aim to build a zero-emission, high-tech region powered entirely by renewable energy. Yet beyond the cities of the future lies a growing commitment to the past — particularly in preserving and restoring the Kingdom's natural heritage. 'People tend to assume that this part of the world is an empty desert, but NEOM is stunning for its habitat diversity,' Paul Marshall, head of nature conservation at NEOM, told Arab News. Indeed, NEOM's terrain is anything but barren, from mountain peaks reaching 2,600 meters above sea level to oceanic depths plummeting 1.5 kilometers. In between are red sand deserts, canyons and caves, and spectacular shores with crystal-clear waters and coral reefs. This biologically rich region is home to creatures great and small: from hyrax, ibex and oryx to hedgehogs, gazelles and a wide variety of birds and insects. 'From those plants we have insects and mammals. Then, we have the large mammals, of course,' Marshall said. Before human encroachment, the region was even home to apex predators such as cheetahs, lynx and leopards. Now, through conservation, NEOM is seeking to recreate conditions that allow such species to return. 'For all of our biodiversity, it is still a fundamentally arid ecosystem,' he said. 'The species here have adapted to survive with very low rainfall and because of that, they are able to thrive despite the conditions.' The Hadad Program supports NEOM's rewilding strategy by reintroducing native falcon species, most notably the lanner and barbary falcons. 'This is a really exciting program,' Marshall said. 'It is one of many programs we are doing to restore the full ecosystem in the NEOM area.' Despite the climatic conditions, several types of plants were able to grow and uniquely adapt to different parts of NEOM's ecosystem. 'From those plants we have insects and mammals. Then, we have the large mammals, of course,' he said. He added: 'This is a really exciting program. It is one of many programs we are doing to restore the full ecosystem in the NEOM area.' Falcons used to be widespread throughout the whole of the Arabian Peninsula. But, through a combination of hunting and capturing for sports, in many places, Marshall said, that these animals are hard to find. Today, efforts are underway to bring them back. With the rich habitat and the efforts to safeguard the falcons, they are creating an environment where the species can be released with the best chances of survival. They successfully released eight pairs of barbary falcons, which are a very rare type; very few of them are left in the wild. 'We are committed to caring for falcons as a cultural and historical heritage and supporting all related activities through a set of regulations and organizational frameworks adopted by the club,' Talal Abdulaziz AlShammisi, CEO of the Saudi Falcons Club, told Arab News. 'This includes promoting and preserving falconry heritage, organizing falcon auctions, collaborating with universities, colleges, research centers and health institutions to conduct falcon-related studies and scientific research.' Falconry is not just a pastime in Saudi Arabia; it is a centuries-old tradition deeply woven into the fabric of national identity. 'Falconry has been practiced by our ancestors across the deserts of the Kingdom for centuries and today the country is home to thousands of falcons and passionate falconers,' said AlShammisi. 'Local species such as the lanner falcon and the barbary falcon are native to the Saudi environment and hold significant ecological value as essential components of environmental balance.' The barbary falcon, once on the brink of extinction in parts of the Arabian Peninsula, is now making a comeback. Thanks to the Hadad Program's careful release, rehabilitation and monitoring strategies, the birds are beginning to reclaim their place in Saudi skies. The initiative's success is underpinned by a network of partnerships. Area (square kilometers) of NEOM spanning mountains, desert and Red Sea coastline. NEOM is working with the Saudi National Center for Wildlife, the Saudi Falcon Club and the Special Forces for Environmental Security to monitor these falcons, to protect them and give them not only the best chances of survival but appearing and breeding. Soon, the first new generation of barbary falcons is expected to hatch in NEOM. While falcons are among the stars of NEOM's rewilding efforts, the program goes much further. More than 1,100 animals once absent from the region — including oryx, ibex, mountain gazelles and sand gazelles — have been reintroduced to help restore a natural ecological balance. The reintroduction of different species of animals is not only a victory for biodiversity but also a chance to restore natural food chains and ecological interactions that sustained this environment for millennia. With plans to extend across 95 percent of megacity project's total land area, the NEOM Nature Reserve represents one of the most ambitious conservation zones in the world. Through projects such as the Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Green Initiative, the Kingdom aims to plant billions of trees, reduce emissions, and protect vast swaths of land and sea. As World Environment Day shines a spotlight on the urgent need to protect and restore our natural world, NEOM stands as a compelling example of how large-scale development and ecological stewardship can go hand in hand.

Cuban students call boycott over mobile tariff hikes
HAVANA: Cuban students called for a boycott of classes Wednesday over new mobile Internet tariffs that include steep fees for those who exceed their monthly data limits. Cubans say the tariff hikes implemented by state telecoms company Etecsa on May 30 will leave them with only a few gigabytes of data per month as purchasing additional data will be prohibitively expensive. Students have been particularly angered by the new pricing system, under which top-ups must be paid in hard-to-come-by-dollars or at a steep increment in Cuban pesos. While acknowledging 'progress' in negotiations with Etecsa, student union president Jose Almedia told AFP: 'We want more.' On Tuesday evening, student leaders at the University of Havana's mathematics and informatics faculty called for a boycott of classes in order to try to force Etecsa to annul the tariff hikes. Fellow leaders of the union chapter in the philosophy, history and sociology faculty backed the boycott, as did some students from the arts department. It was not immediately clear how many students heeded the call for the protest. But an arts student who attended classes on Wednesday told AFP there were 'practically no students' in the faculty. New pricing structure Etecsa gave no forewarning of its new pricing structure, which it said was necessary to fund investment in infrastructure. Rafael Gomez, an 18-year-old student at the University of Havana, said the new tariffs left mobile users with the bare minimum in terms of data. 'We were used to a certain system,' where customers can top up their credit as often as they like, he told AFP. Now, they are limited to 6GB of data, which Gomez noted 'is nothing and if you want to buy more, it costs over 3,000 pesos ($25), which you cannot afford on a regular Cuban salary,' Gomez said. The average monthly salary on the communist island is 5,700 pesos, or $47. Faced with the outcry from students, President Miguel Diaz-Canel said Sunday that the government was looking at 'options' for 'the most vulnerable sectors, including our dear students.' After talks with student bodies Etecsa on Monday announced that students would be allowed two monthly top-ups at 360 pesos ($3), compared with one for the rest of the population. Further top-ups have to be paid in dollars or at the eye-watering price of over 3,000 pesos. The concessions failed to assuage the anger of many students. Brian Gamez, a history student, told AFP he favored 'peaceful protests' but was afraid that a mobilization could lead to vandalism. The Cuban government has been wary of stoking popular discontent since July 2021 when thousands of people took to the streets in a rare show of defiance to demonstrate over shortages of fuel, food, medicine and electricity. One person was killed and dozens injured in the protests, which Havana accused Washington of orchestrating.

Bahrain game ‘crucial' for Saudi World Cup qualification hopes, says coach Herve Renard
MANAMA: Saudi Arabia's match against Bahrain on Thursday is 'crucial' to their bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, coach Herve Renard said on Wednesday. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The away game will be followed by a showdown with Australia at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah on Tuesday, as the third round of the qualifiers draws to a close. The Saudis are sitting third in the six-team Group C, 10 points behind already qualified Japan and trailing Australia by three. The top two in the group qualify automatically for the finals, while those who finish third and fourth will fight it out with four other teams for the last three spots. At this point no outcome is certain for the Green Falcons, who are just four points ahead of bottom-of-the-group China. Speaking at the prematch press conference in Manama, Renard said the Saudis must take maximum points from their remaining games. 'We have to win the six points in the next two matches,' the Frenchman said. 'Knowing the outcome of the Australia-Japan match (on Thursday) in advance gives us an important psychological boost ahead of the Bahrain match, and it may also determine my final message to the players.' The squad's final preparations for the game were going well, he added, with a renewed spirit and clear determination among the players to perform at a level worthy of the team, despite the difficult task ahead. The position they are in reflects the team's stumbling start to this phase of the qualifiers, Renard said, but everyone is determined to restore balance to the team and win.
