OPN 201124 edit new 22 — PRIVILEGE TO BE IN DUBAI: It should come as no surprise that 95 per cent of residents living in Dubai find the city the best place to live in. The findings of a Community Development Authority survey only go to reaffirm what we’ve always known. Safety and security apart, what Dubai offers in terms of its social fabric where people of different nationalities live in harmony is perhaps unmatched. Where else in the world would you also find facilities that are so accessible and state-of-the-art? It is not only a matter of pride, but also a privilege to live in Dubai.

OPN 201124 EDIT NEW — RESUMPTION OF UN- LED LIBYA TALKS MUST BE WELCOMED: On Monday, the UN-led peace talks on Libya resumed virtually. The UN has indicated that the discussions are on a selection mechanism for a future administration to help lead Libya out of decade-long turmoil and instability. Libya, with its immense hydrocarbon wealth and talented people, deserves much better. The delegates carry on their shoulders the hopes and aspirations of ordinary Libyans, who seek stability and prosperity in their country and an end to the militia rule that has brought such misery. But their task is a difficult one, and they are alive to challenges that lie ahead. [COMMENT BY Omar Shariff, International Editor] Image Credit: AFP

OPN 201124 EDIT — HEARTFELT FAREWELL TO LONELY ELEPHANT KAAVAN: Pakistan’s lonely elephant Kaavan was given a farewell party by children and well-wishers before he flies off for a new life in Cambodia this week. It was a refreshing and heartfelt gesture by residents who had flocked to see the elephant in the zoo for 35 years, during which Kaavan suffered neglect, apathy and torture. It has been an uphill task to reach this juncture. Two lions of Islamabad Zoo were not so lucky, having died when unprofessional animal caretakers tried to transfer them to a private farm in Lahore. Hopefully the years ahead will be happier for Kaavan in the Cambodia sanctuary and the scars of the past will soon be erased from memory.
