'Inclusion is a right:' Lebanon's first lady welcomes first employee with disability at presidential palace

Lebanon's First Lady, Nehmat Aoun, announced that, for the first time, a person with a disability has joined the presidential palace team, marking a milestone in promoting inclusion at the highest levels of government. "Welcome, Ali," she said in a social media post. She emphasized that this step is not just a hiring decision but the start of fully implementing Law 220/2000 and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, both ratified by President Joseph Aoun on April 10, 2025. These legal frameworks guarantee equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities in all areas. "Ali's presence at the palace serves as a daily reminder that inclusion is not a choice but a fundamental right for every individual," she further noted. للمرة الأولى في القصر الجمهوري، ينضم إلينا شخص من ذوي الإعاقة إلى فريق العمل. أهلاً وسهلاً بك يا علي. — First Lady Nehmat Aoun - نعمت عون (@lbfirstlady) July 6, 2025

AUB Press Hosts Dr. Ramzi Baalbaki at the 66th Beirut Arab International Book Fair

As part of its participation in the 66th Beirut Arab International Book Fair, AUB Press hosted a discussion titled 'The Arabic language: Its History, Present, and Future' featuring renowned Arabic Language professor Ramzi Baalbaki in conversation with Malek Chaker and Amina Sleiman. The event was supported by the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Chair and organized in collaboration with the Center for Arts and Humanities at the American University of Beirut (AUB).The discussion touched upon various topics related to the Arabic language. Baalbaki spoke about the history of Arabic and its emergence before the revelation of the Qur'an, highlighting its presence in Arabic poetry and popular proverbs (ahadith). He explained how, by the time of the Qur'an's revelation, the Arabic corpus had become rich and well-established, with its collection largely ceasing by the end of the second Hijri then engaged with this corpus, bringing to light its morphological and syntactic features—particularly its patterns (awzān). In this context, Baalbaki pointed out the distinctive differences that set Arabic apart from its sister Semitic languages as well as from foreign languages. Baalbaki also spoke about his new book Mukawimat al-Nazariyah al-Lughawwiya al-Arabiyya, in which he demonstrated the coherence of the linguistic theory and the comprehensiveness of its components. This, he argued, highlights the uniqueness of the Arabic language and the elements of wisdom embedded in its structures and morphological patterns. He compared this theory with scientific theories—specifically, the theory of dimensions in physics—to affirm the validity of the linguistic framework established by early grammarians. Through this, they provided explanations for every structure, and thus the term gharīb (the obscure or unusual) in the language discussion also touched on the relationship between Classical Arabic and the various colloquial dialects. Baalbaki emphasized the strong connection between them, refuting any notion of conflict or hostility, as each borrows certain words and structures from the conversation addressed the current state of the Arabic language and its place among its native speakers. Baalbaki pointed to the number of Arabic speakers and the language's presence on social media, expressing concern over the weakening use of Arabic among its speakers and their tendency to resort to foreign languages to express their ideas. Therefore, he offered some advice on how to preserve the language—especially within academia. The event was attended by political and social figures, as well as a number of linguists and scholars of the humanities from various Arab countries. The discussion was rich and full of insights that inspire a love for the Arabic language and reveal the depths of its genius and its ability to convey meaning with remarkable precision through carefully chosen words. It also showcased a range of syntactic structures that are unique to Arabic.
