[ad_1] In December 2010, a young man self-immolated in the small Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid. His name was Mohamed Bouazizi. With his “sacrificial gesture,” as the French-Moroccan writer Tahar Ben Jeroun put it in his opening speech at the Berlin Literature Festival, the young man in his late twenties unwittingly became part of a series of rebellions.

However, these European scientists were influenced by their predecessors, the Arabic scholars (and Arab scientists) who advanced science and technology during Europe’s cultural decline during the Dark Ages (5th to 15th centuries). ), few would mention how they were indebted to them. The passing of the scientific baton is often overlooked due to the Crusades conflict, and it is possible that many Renaissance scholars later downplayed or covered up connections to the Middle East for political and religious reasons. “There are,”…

I don’t see any purpose for this investment other than as a testbed for mobile web development. I remember that Arabic news websites became popular in the region in the mid-2000s, and the most successful ones were still ones like Elaph and Serialnews. Sarmadi, Vodafone Egypt’s mobile advertising and development arm, appears to have just now realized that it would be beneficial to enter the Arabic news aggregation industry.
