Whichever way you look at it musa there's always disbalance in our perceptions of events. We must evolve from within using the best of our values & ethics to allure others to us, but still be humble with our heads high amongst towering shoulders. salam! Salam,

It is also interesting to to know that you are giving this huge event the attention it deserves. After all, nothing says a lewarning from the future like a fanfare event hosted by Husni Mubarak and attended by Prince Andrew and some banks CEOs. On a different note, who said anything about "Arabic as an indicator of identity"?!...Heck man, we live in a country where the head of state barely speaks the language and it has not affected our identity...let me just emphasize the part that I thought it is weird that Arab youth gathered to discuss their concerns..in English...And honestly the answer is much simpler than "getting the message across by all means necessary"...The event was hosted by the British council...so it had to be in English so at least for the organisers sake...no big deal. Nas, On a serious note, congratulations on the selection. And on a more playful note, you may want to try your speech in Hebrew so that you can get your message across to Shimon Peres. Batir,

I think they felt that the emerging world dynamic will see the emergance of various powers, hence the desire to not limit the discussion to having a bipolar world, but rather a multi-polar one. (i would speak in swahili if i thought it would help) Batir, thanks buddy.

It is a fantastic opportunity and a very good selection indeed. I read on WEF website that the bipolar scenario was indded turned into a multipolar! Any reasons. I am still amazed with the continuous debate on why we should speak in Arabic as an indicator of identity. The WEF is a global event and the official language is English. We need the world to hear our voice so this is why using English can be an added value. HI Naseem and congratulations for being voted with Moammar to speak at the May 2008 WEF.

True priorities come first,although (to quote the official press release)"climate change, the bipolar world, the energy crisis, and the relations between the Arab world and West" are not exactly the biggest concerns...but still...I just thought it is a little funny and weird.
