Title: Riyadh Launches Comprehensive Development Plan to Enhance Quality of Life in Residential Areas

Two weeks have passed since the disappearance of Serbian international player Aleksandar Savić (28) in Riyadh, with security authorities continuing search operations without reaching conclusive results so far.

Official information from the Ministry of Interior’s security spokesperson stated that Savić arrived in the Kingdom on March 15 to join one of the local clubs, before being reported missing on March 21 after leaving his hotel in the Olaya district without returning. The player left all his personal belongings in his hotel room.

According to preliminary investigations, surveillance cameras captured Savić’s last movements near a commercial complex north of the capital on the evening of his disappearance. The concerned Saudi club – which preferred to withhold its name – confirmed in an official statement: “We are working continuously with relevant security authorities to locate the player, providing all records related to his visit.”

The Serbian Ambassador to the Kingdom stated in an official statement: “We thank the Saudi authorities for their serious efforts in the search, and reassure Savić’s fans that the case receives the highest levels of attention.” Sources close to the player’s family indicated that his mother arrived in Riyadh today to participate in the search efforts.

Savić is considered one of the top midfielders in the Serbian league, having scored 12 goals and provided 17 assists in 85 matches with Partizan Belgrade, according to UEFA statistics. His disappearance comes amid the increasing number of players joining the Saudi league, which currently hosts 138 foreign players from 42 different countries.

Security authorities continue questioning witnesses and analyzing technical data, while the motives and circumstances of the disappearance remain unclear pending new developments in a case that has received wide media coverage at both local and international levels.

In the literary and cultural history of the Qassim region, the name Saleh bin Suleiman Al-Maghmasi holds a distinguished position as one of the most prominent figures who left a clear mark on the development of intellectual and cultural life in the region.

Al-Maghmasi was born in Buraidah, Qassim, and was known for his diverse contributions across various literary and cultural fields. He was a model of a encyclopedic scholar who combined knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence, language, and literature, making him a scientific and literary reference in the region.

Throughout his rich career, Al-Maghmasi contributed to establishing many cultural and educational projects that helped spread knowledge and awareness in society. He was also known for his wide relationships with scholars and writers of his time, which contributed to the exchange of ideas and experiences between different regions of the Kingdom.

His private library, which contained hundreds of volumes of rare manuscripts and books, is considered one of the most prominent intellectual legacies he left behind, serving as a scientific resource for researchers and students in the region.

It is noted that Al-Maghmasi paid special attention to educating youth, holding weekly scientific circles and lessons in the mosque, which contributed to graduating a generation of scholars and writers who carried the torch of knowledge after him.

Many contemporaries praised Al-Maghmasi’s personality, describing him as humble, friendly, loving goodness for all, and always striving to serve his community.

According to historians, Al-Maghmasi spent his life serving knowledge and literature until his death, which left a great void in the cultural scene of Qassim. His name has been immortalized in the memory of generations, not only for his intellectual contributions but also for his ethics and values that he was keen to instill in his students.

Today, years after his passing, his works and books remain an important reference for those wishing to learn about the cultural and literary heritage of the Qassim region, confirming that his scientific legacy is still alive, inspiring new generations.

Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Riyadh Region, launched the “Stay at Home” campaign to raise awareness about the importance of staying at home and reducing gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He directed the suspension of all non-essential commercial activities in the region to ensure the health and safety of citizens and residents. He also emphasized the need for commercial establishments to adhere to precautionary measures and preventive protocols.

The Prince stated that the campaign aims to enhance awareness of the importance of social distancing and following health guidelines, noting that the region will not tolerate violations and will take legal action against offenders.

This step is part of the efforts to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

A new challenge has swept social media platforms in Saudi Arabia under the hashtag “#تحدي_حفيت” (Challenge of Shaving). Participants film themselves using sharp tools to completely shave their heads. This challenge has gained significant popularity, especially among Saudi youth, with many celebrities and social media activists taking part.

The “Shaving Challenge” began spreading in Saudi Arabia about a week ago, with some Saudi youths posting videos of themselves using razor blades or other sharp tools to shave their heads completely. The challenge quickly gained traction, particularly on the “TikTok” platform, where thousands of Saudis and Saudi women posted videos participating in the challenge.

Several Saudi celebrities and activists participated in the challenge, posting videos of themselves completely shaving their heads. Among the most prominent participants was Saudi fashionista Model Roz, who posted a video that garnered millions of views.

The challenge received significant interaction from Saudis, with many expressing their admiration for it and participating, while others criticized it, considering it a dangerous challenge that could cause physical harm to participants.

In this context, Dr. Fahd Al-Osaimi, a professor of sociology at King Saud University, said: “The Shaving Challenge is the latest trend in social media challenges sweeping the world, reflecting young people’s desire to attract attention and break routine. However, it also carries health and psychological risks.”

Al-Osaimi added: “Parents and schools should educate youth about the risks of such challenges and the necessity of not being drawn into them without thinking about the consequences.”

Dr. Khalid Al-Amri, a consultant dermatologist, said: “Using sharp tools to shave hair can cause wounds and scratches on the scalp, and may lead to serious skin infections if the tools are not properly sterilized.”

Al-Amri added: “I advise young people not to participate in such dangerous challenges and to seek safe and healthy entertainment methods.”

Conclusion: It seems that the “Shaving Challenge” will continue to spread in the coming period, especially with the participation of a large number of celebrities and activists. However, youth should be cautious and not be drawn into such dangerous challenges without thinking about the health and psychological consequences. Parents and schools should also play a role in educating youth about the risks of such challenges and the necessity of seeking safe and healthy entertainment methods.
