‘The working conditions of Western journalists in Saudi Arabia’ - I am very grateful for all the people who have helped me with my master thesis and now I’m officially DONE!! Looking forward to be back in Saudi soon
“Kronprinsens prestigeprojekter: De danske hofleverandører” del seks:
Siden 2021 har Jeddah, Saudi-Arabiens andenstørste by, gennemgået et omfattende moderniseringsprojekt, med det formål at forvandle havnebyen til en moderne metropol med luksusboliger og kulturattraktioner.
Heriblandt et operahus tegnet af danske Henning Larsen Architects, der skal være et af byens nye vartegn.
Men bag de storslåede planer for byen gemmer sig en historie om omfattende nedrivninger og tvangsudsættelser - anslået 500.000 mennesker er fordrevet og 20 nabolag revet ned - problematikker, som flere menneskerettighedsorganisationer slog alarm om i rapporter i 2022.
Danwatch er rejst til Jeddah i Saudi-Arabien for at undersøge, hvilke konsekvenser fordrivelserne har haft og for at tale med dem, det er gået ud over.

Very saddened to hear of Aziz's passing. Had many great talks with him over the years - always patient and generous with his knowledge of Gulf affairs. The tributes already paid to him tonight speak volumes about the person he was.
My condolences to his family.
