JEDDAH: A team from the Camel Research Center at King Faisal University, in cooperation with the University of Nottingham, has discovered the most important genes responsible for the mechanism for determining the colors of Arabian camels.
The study included analysis of 10 kinds of Arabian camels. Its results “were published in an international British scientific journal,” and “reflect the history of the camels’ biological and genetic diversity in Arabia,” said the center’s director, Dr. Faisal Al-Mathen.
“The study itself is one of a kind. It reveals Arabian camels’ mechanism of transmission of genetic traits, and will play a major role in the genetic classification of camels in the future.”

Saudi Arabia announces new financial support to the Yemeni government
RIYADH: Saudi Ambassador to Yemen and Supervisor of the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen Mohammed Al-Jaber announced that the Kingdom, under the directives of its leadership, has provided new support to the Yemeni government's budget, aimed at paying the salaries of state employees in all sectors.
In a post on X, Al-Jaber stated that this support complements a package of development projects and initiatives, amounting to SR1.9 billion, announced on Wednesday. The package includes provision of necessary petroleum derivatives to operate power plants, which will contribute to improving the living standards of people in Yemen and alleviating daily burdens on them.
Al-Jaber’s post emphasized, in particular, that all salaries of military and security forces linked to the the higher military committee linked to the Saudi led Coalition will be paid as of Sunday.
The post is likely relate to Several Media reports which have suggested that disgraced former Southern Transitional Council (STC) chief Aidaroos Al Zubaidi — who has now fled Yemen — was taking advantage of military personnel and withholding salaries as means of pressure. Al-Zubaidi is wanted by the Yemeni government for acts of high treason and corruption.
The ambassador emphasized that these steps come within the framework of supporting the Yemeni government's efforts to implement the economic reform program, which aims to achieve financial and economic stability and enhance the state's ability to meet its basic obligations.
