Two Alexandrias, one councilman: Abdel Rahman Elnoubi's journey from his ancestral home to US politics
Councilman Abdel Rahman Elnoubi's personal history is essentially a tale of two cities: now a resident of Alexandria, Virginia, his family hails from Alexandria, Egypt, a city founded almost 2,000 years before European settlers landed in what would become the US. His journey from the banks of the Nile to the Potomac took a few twists and turns, with the path ultimately leading to the city council of Alexandria, Virginia, to which he was elected in November last year. Born in Chicago to Egyptian parents, Mr Elnoubi moved to Egypt during his school years. He ultimately returned to the US to attend New York's City College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in engineering. He then moved to Virginia, where he received a master's degree from George Washington University. "I left Alexandria, Egypt, because I realised if I want a shot at a more prosperous life, if I want a shot at opportunity and economic prosperity, that I would have to come back to the US, because here, if you work hard, you have an opportunity to succeed," he told The National. Mr Elnoubi started his political career during President Donald Trump 's first term in office, when the "Muslim ban" was on the minds of Arab and Muslim Americans. "What got me into politics is, I realised how important it is to be at the table, to have a seat at the table and shape policies," he said. Before being elected to the city council this year, he became the first Arab to join Alexandria's school board, from 2022 to 2024. When he is not shaping policy, Mr Elnoubi works as a project manager with the local transit authority and raises two children with his wife. He emphasised the importance of young Arab Americans and people of colour taking part in politics so their voices are heard at all levels of government. "I realised that as a minority, as a Muslim, as an Arab American, I have a voice that's not always represented in government, and I saw the need for that, and I wanted to be that voice," he said. There has been a rise in Arab and Muslim-American participation in local, state and national politics over the past decade, from Dearborn, Michigan, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in Congress. The Arab and Muslim-American community in Michigan played a significant role in the recent presidential election as well, as they sought to give greater visibility to the war in Gaza. Despite his decision to move to the US, Mr Elnoubi has fond memories of Egypt, particularly the food, the culture and the emphasis on family values. But he feels like he has found his place in the city he helps to lead. "Here, you know, I'm glad to be part of the government and be able to shape the future of Alexandria and help improve lives for the people of Alexandria," he said. "I love the fact that we are all democratically elected, and people can hold us accountable if we don't do a good job." But Mr Elnoubi expressed concern over the future of democracy. The administration of US President Donald Trump has drawn targets on students and scholars who have taken part in on-campus pro-Palestine protests, and threatened them with deportation, which critics have called an attack on freedom of speech. "I think as Americans, we should not take democracy or freedom of speech for granted. It's a right that we have to fight for and stand up for," he said.

India: PM Modi vows to keep up development in Kashmir after tourist attack
India is committed to efforts to develop its restive territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, accusing neighbours Pakistan of seeking to destroy livelihoods there with April's deadly attack on tourists. He was speaking on his first visit to the Himalayan region since attackers targeted tourists in the popular Pahalgam area, killing 26, triggering hostilities between the nuclear-armed neighbours that ended in a ceasefire last month. "The atmosphere of development that emerged in Jammu and Kashmir will not be hindered by the attack ... I will not let development stop here," Modi said in remarks after inaugurating infrastructure projects. Key among these was a $5-billion rail link between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of India, which has been more than 40 years in the making and features the world's highest railway arch bridge. Others include highways, city roads and a new medical college. India has accused Pakistan of backing the April attack, a claim denied by Islamabad, and they engaged in four days of fierce fighting last month before agreeing to a ceasefire. Pakistan aimed to disrupt the livelihoods of the poor in Kashmir, who rely heavily on tourism, Modi said, adding that he would face down any obstacle to regional development. Pakistan rejects Modi's remarks Pakistan's Foreign Ministry rejected Modi's remarks on Friday and said it remained steadfast in its "principled support" for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. "Claims of hollow against the backdrop of an unprecedented military presence, suppression of fundamental freedoms, arbitrary arrests, and a concerted effort to alter the region's demography in violation of international law," it said. Last month, Islamabad said a just and peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute was essential to ensure lasting peace in the region, known for its snow-topped mountains, scenic lakes, lush meadows, and tulip gardens. The region, which drew more than 3 million visitors last year, is at the heart of the hostility between the old foes, both of which claim it in full, but rule it in part and have fought two of their three wars over it. India also accuses Pakistan of supporting militants battling security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, but Islamabad denies the accusation. Trains run in the Kashmir Valley but the new link is its first to the wider Indian railway network. Apart from boosting the regional economy, it is expected to help revive tourism, which plummeted after the April attack. ($1=85.7500 Indian rupees)
