Where We Are Going Today: Chilly Peri

Chilly Peri is a Saudi family-based business that offers three main products — crunchy chili flakes, crispy onions, and spicy mango pickle — inspired by an Indian and Middle Eastern kitchen. The products are provided per order and are freshly made in big quantities.
Many ordinary home dishes sometimes lack a missing element. Perhaps a sour, spicy, or crunchiness would make it better. Chilly Peri is the answer as it adds a little sparkle of the spicy, crunchy, sour chili flakes that elevates any dish.
The freshly-dried chilies offer a strong, spicy aroma and are made for those who appreciate that spicy twist. The crunchy onion and chili flakes can also be used as a topping or garnish for sandwiches, sushi, or soups.
The spice level of the chili flakes can be customized per customer as requests can be made for individuals, large parties, or an entire restaurant.
Products can be shipped across the Kingdom and are also available through the website www.chillyperi.com

Director Kaouther Ben Hania rejects Berlin honor over Gaza

DUBAI: Kaouther Ben Hania, the Tunisian filmmaker behind “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” refused to accept an award at a Berlin ceremony this week after an Israeli general was recognized at the same event.

The director was due to receive the Most Valuable Film award at the Cinema for Peace gala, held alongside the Berlinale, but chose to leave the prize behind.

On stage, Ben Hania said the moment carried a sense of responsibility rather than celebration. She used her remarks to demand justice and accountability for Hind Rajab, a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza in 2024, along with two paramedics who were shot while trying to reach her.

“Justice means accountability. Without accountability, there is no peace,” Ben Hania said.

“The Israeli army killed Hind Rajab; killed her family; killed the two paramedics who came to save her, with the complicity of the world’s most powerful governments and institutions,” she said.

“I refuse to let their deaths become a backdrop for a polite speech about peace. Not while the structures that enabled them remain untouched.”

Ben Hania said she would accept the honor “with joy” only when peace is treated as a legal and moral duty, grounded in accountability for genocide.
