Like the UAE, Saudi Arabia might cancel Friday holiday
This is a major disappointment to those of us who believe that we are more Arab than the Arabs. Didn't we burn our Eritrean, Sudanese and Djibouti languages to adopt Arabization? Didn't the Somalis, Djiboutians, Sudanese join the Arab League and another receive Observer Status?
Issaias must have foreseen this decades ago to get rid off the Arab slaves in the leadership of the Jihadist ELF Jebha and kick them in their azzes all the way to Sudan.
Riyadh (AsiaNews) – Will Saudi Arabia make Friday a working day? A proposal to that effect has sparked heated debates and elicited strong opinions. It is also proof that things are changing in Islam’s birthplace, home to its two holiest cities, Makkah and Madinah.
The Okaz newspaper recently published an op-ed titled “Friday is a working day", breaking a taboo about Islam’s holy day of prayer.

Qatar, a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), was one of the first to adopt the Friday-Saturday weekend some 20 years ago, followed by Bahrain in 2006 and Kuwait in 200. The Sultanate of Oman implemented the change a month before Saudi Arabia in 2013.
In the Arab world the Friday-Saturday weekend is in place in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, and Iraq; in Lebanon (which has a large Christian population), Morocco and Tunisia, Saturday and Sunday are days off. In these countries, some businesses voluntarily close to allow employees to attend Friday prayers.

Banda Eritrean Roha
Once again you are lying and stealing the Tigray People victory defeating the powerful jebha -eritrea liberation front army.
The coward shabia army was defeated by the jebha-eritrea liberation front army.
The jebha-eritrea Liberation front big mistakes were killing innocent defenseless Tigray People, trying to kill TPLF Leaders, helping e.d.u army,eprp army and the Tigray People had no choice but to destroy them.
Even the old geeze Sibhat Nega gave a big interview about how TPLF and Tigray People destroyed the jebha army.
Coward shabia was no match to jebha and they were scared of them.
Go find his interview on Ethiopia forum.
