Sana'a outlines implementation for Sidr seedling planting project
Sana'a - Saba:
A meeting held in Sana'a province on Wednesday, chaired by governor Abdulbasit al-Hadi, focused on establishing the implementation mechanism for the distribution and planting of Sidr seedlings during the current season.
This project, a key component of the province's broader plan, aims to significantly expand tree planting efforts to enhance vegetation cover, increase green spaces across the province, and leverage these trees as a natural food source for bees, leading to the production of economically valuable honey. Furthermore, the initiative seeks to support biodiversity, protect vital agricultural soil from erosion, combat desertification, and contribute to overall environmental preservation.
The discussed implementation mechanism encompassed detailed methods for seedling distribution, planting procedures, ongoing monitoring, and comprehensive evaluation. It also involved the identification of specific target areas and addressed the technical aspects of the seedling planting process.
The meeting brought together governor al-Hadi's undersecretaries, Abdullah al-Abyad and Abdullah al-Tahiri, the directors of the province's Agricultural and Fisheries Projects and Initiatives Financing Unit, the Cleanliness, Improvement, and Public Works Fund, the directors of various districts, and the heads of cooperative development sector associations. Discussions centered on the practical steps required to commence the distribution and planting of seedlings within the province's main valleys and districts.
A key outcome of the meeting was the approval to hold further meetings with directors of the directorates, agriculture officials, and heads of sector and district associations to effectively implement the established mechanism and ensure the distribution of seedlings at the level of each district and village.
The meeting also approved the formation of committees comprising members of the local authority leadership and directors of relevant executive offices. These committees will undertake field visits alongside directorate directors to introduce the project's objectives and vision to local communities, identify suitable planting areas and necessary resources, and establish local implementation teams.
During the meeting, governor al-Hadi emphasized the crucial role of activating district associations and leveraging the effective capacity of sector associations in successfully implementing the project, which is expected to yield significant benefits for local communities.
He highlighted the well-known resilience of Sidr trees to harsh climatic conditions, making them an ideal choice for enhancing vegetation cover in arid regions.
The Governor of Sana'a called upon the local community to actively cooperate and contribute to the project's success, emphasizing its multiple benefits, particularly in protecting valuable agricultural soil and providing essential grazing pastures for livestock.

Pilgrims begin first day of Tashreeq in Hajj rituals
Makkah – Saba: Pilgrims began the first of the three days of Tashreeq in Hajj rituals on Saturday, during which they will throw stones at al-Jamarat (stones) at al-Jamarat site in Mina, western Saudi Arabia, and then conclude their Hajj with the Farewell Tawaf. The first group of pilgrims arrived at al-Jamarat facility in Mina on the first day of Tashreeq and performed the stoning of al-Jamarat, according to Anadolu Agency. In Mina, pilgrims throw 21 pebbles at al-Jamarat, starting with the smallest, then the middle, and finally the largest, with seven pebbles for each al-Jamarat. They pronounce Allahu Akbar with each one and make whatever supplications they wish after the smallest and middle, facing al-Qiblah with their hands raised. The Days of Tashreeq are the three days following the first day of Eid al-Adha. Pilgrims spend these days in Mina, also known as the "numbered days." According to Hajj rituals, the stoning of al-Jamarat is a reminder of the enmity of Satan, who confronted the Prophet Ebrahim, peace be upon him, in these places. This is how they recognize his enmity and are warned against him. Whatsapp Telegram Email
