I would like to take a moment to wish all of you my dear countrymen/women A Happy New Year! I wish all of you continued success in your careers with peace and health for years to come!

Let's all hope that the youth of that country will finally see the light in the tunnel where all these stupid and deadly conflicts ignited by stupid individuals would abruptly come to an end. Let's hope that the gullible and hopelessly unemployed youth will have the same opportunity to live just like my and your children/grandchildren in a society where guns have gone permanently silent. Let's wish and hope for him/her that cell phones and tablets will replace the guns stupid war mongers have availed him/her so easily. Let's all monger peace because peace has far-reaching dividends beneficial to everyone. Insha'Allah!!!!

Meanwhile, let’s all have our brothers and sisters in Morocco in our thoughts and prayers for their loss in the devastating earthquake that struck their country yesterday. Please also keep in mind that earthquake can also happen in the old country. In fact when this deadly earthquake hit Morocco there was another one that struck the Bab-el-Mandeb(Gulf of Aden) area in sea territory belonging to Somalia. It was around 4.5 on the scale. It looked like the giant African plate was moving. So it is a matter of time before another big one hit the Horn of Africa and I hope all functioning governments are not remiss of this possibility in light of the exploding population and the countries heading into unprecedented urbanization. It is not a matter of if but when the big ones will strike the region.
