Qatari Newspapers Editorials
Doha, April 23 (QNA) - Several local and international topics were featured in the editorials of Qatari newspapers, issued on Sunday, touching on the topics of Qatarization and employing Qatari job seekers in both public and private sectors; the Qatar's leading role in tackling climate change phenomenon and the crisis in Sudan, where hundreds were killed and thousands injured in the ongoing clashes.
Al Raya daily newspaper said, under the title "Qatar is a world leader in environment protection", that Qatar has dedicated itself as a world leader in environmental protection and combating climate change and global warming. From this standpoint, Qatar has transformed its vision and continuous endeavors to protect the environment and combat climate change, which poses a threat to nature, health and economy across the world, into a long-term plan consistent with the development goals of the state and includes dozens of initiatives.
The newspaper said, "Qatar, which launched its national strategy for the environment and climate change two years ago, is keen to introduce the principle of sustainability in all the details of the strategic projects in the country, by increasing reliance on renewable energy sources, setting up a national program for waste disposal and expanding the circular economy based on waste recycling."
The Peninsula, in its Sunday editorial titled "Eyeing Successful Tourism Season", highlighted Qatar's position as one of the safest countries according to the latest rankings of cities and countries. The tourism sector in Qatar has been defined as one of five priority sectors integral to diversifying its economy and increasing private sector participation, it said.
The country’s status on global safety reports and the actual situation on the ground, as well as concerted plans and strategies, have set Qatar on course to attract tourists from the region and different parts of the world. Qatar sees the involvement of international investors as essential for developing a tourism industry rich in its culture and Arabian generous hospitality, it added.
The newspaper said: "The presence of the giant cruises is becoming a familiar sight for Doha citizens and residents, and it emphasises Qatar’s increasing profile as a preferred destination for both regular cruise calls and cruises with turnaround calls. The country can welcome thousands of new travellers willing to experience a combination of old and new from when they dock and through the city. Rolling on from the World Cup boom, Qatar is looking forward to a thriving tourism season that will contribute to strengthening the cruise industry and maintaining its position as a leading tourism hub in the region."
Al Sharq daily newspaper in its editorial under the title "Evacuation of Diplomatic Missions from Sudan", referred to the start of emergency evacuations of diplomatic missions operating in Khartoum and foreign nationals, in light of the continuation of fighting for the eighth day, pointing that the arrival of a first batch of Saudis and a number of nationals of other countries amounted to about 157 people to Jeddah after their evacuation from Sudan, while many other countries are preparing to evacuate their nationals, after the Sudanese army pledged to provide safe passages for the evacuation of nationals of the United States, Britain, France, China and other countries.
The newspaper considered the departure of ambassadors, members of diplomatic missions and foreign nationals from Khartoum as a natural reflection of the deteriorating situation in Sudan, with the intensification of battles, and the non-compliance of the parties to the conflict with calls for a cease-fire. It said that it is "an indication of the seriousness of what is happening there, the upward trend of fighting and the absence of signs of a quick end to the crisis," which may portend an exacerbation of the humanitarian conditions of the Sudanese people, especially those who are caught in the crossfire.
In the same context, Al Watan daily newspaper said, in its editorial titled "Deteriorating Conditions", that the situation in Sudan is open to all possibilities, including the escalation of clashes and the continuation of fighting after the failure of all the appeals and efforts that were made to bring the two parties to the conflict to the negotiating table and reaching a peaceful solution that would spare Sudan further deterioration.
The newspaper pointed out that the sounds of explosions were heard yesterday Saturday with warplanes flying over the sky of the capital, Khartoum, for the eighth consecutive day, and the intermittent armed clashes between the warring parties, without any serious indications of the possibility of stopping them or adhering to the armistice that was agreed upon for a period of three days.
Al Watan pointed out that the clashes has so far claimed hundreds of lives and wounded thousands, amid suggestions that the numbers would rise with the collapse of medical services and the exit of dozens of hospitals from service, with the failure of attempts to open safe corridors to transport first aid, wounded and dead bodies, which increases the scale of the tragedy, and warns of further deterioration at all levels, including the worsening of the food crisis affecting all Sudanese, unless consensus is reached to stop the bloodshed through resorting to dialogue.
