| [ARABNEWS] The 12th conference of World Assembly of Moslem Youth (WAMY) will be in the historical Moroccan city of Marrakesh from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1. The head of WAMY's got a gray beard. Can they be sued for false advertising? Announcing this, Saleh Al-Wohaiby, secretary general of the WAMY, told a presser here that WAMY conference is themed "Youth in Changing World." "The theme for this edition of the conference stemmed from the fact that youth makes up about 60 percent of the population in Moslem countries, which is a great boon for all communities, but also puts pressure on service providers whether from government agencies or the private sector, especially education, health care and job market. Government and non-government organizations should give due care to them," he said. "Also, choosing Marrakesh as a venue for our conference was not accidental, but rather part of the policy of conducting our big events in all the continents. This time it was the turn of Africa, and we saw the city most suitable for our event because it has the modern infrastructure and the capability to accommodate our event that will host participants from over 80 countries," he added. "We have been warmly welcomed by Moroccan government to have our event there. The Embassy of Morocco in Riyadh played a big role in getting the matter progress smoothly," he added. Al-Wohaiby highly lauded the support of Morocco in hosting the conference, noting that WAMY conferences always received very high level support in all the editions of its conference in all hosting locations over the years. "For instance, the leaders of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... were always supportive. King Faisal patronized the 1st and 2nd editions. King of the Arabians, Sheikh of the Burning Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah patronized extended his support when he was the chief of the National Guard. Crown Prince Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, patronized the 3rd and 9th editions. President Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya patronized the 5th edition, and President Mahathir Mohammed the 7th one," he pointed out. |
