actually it's criminal that 1962 Lawrence of Arabia made up Ali's character and decided to transform Faisal into his father. Sharif Ali is the Emir Faisal in real life — dignified, corageous and impetuous, leading the rebellion on the ground, about 33 years old though looking older, and the one to actually gift the wedding robes to Lawrence. the character of Ali is the real life person of Faisal, and the movie character of Faisal (older, directing things from afar, dealing with the English through letters and at-a-distance diplomacy) is the real life person of Faisal's father, Hussein the Sharif of Mecca and King of the Hejaz. we could have had it all tbh

King Faisal lost to Asante Kotoko by a score of 0–3.
King Faisal lost to Asante Kotoko by a score of 0–3.
The Porcupine Warriors displayed their readiness to win all three points in the opening exchanges. Richard Boadu passed the ball to Steven Mukwala in the sixth minute, but King Faisal’s defenders were ready to stop him. To give his team the lead, Steven Mukwala pounced on an Afoakwa cross in the 11th minute. Steven Mukwala was in position to score after receiving a lovely pass from John Tedeku,…

“In 1973 the US threatened to bomb Saudis oil fields after King Faisal of Saudi Arabia cut off their supply for supporting Israel, King Faisal replied “You're the ones who can't live without oil. We come from the desert, our ancestors lived on dates/milk, we can go back and live like that again!” In 2023, Crown Prince MBS said “We condemn what the Gaza Strip is facing from military assault, targeting of civilians, the violations of international law by the Israeli occupation authorities. We stress on the need to stop this war and the forced displacement of Palestinians” LITERALLY A MONTH AFTER the crisis started. What a weak ass man. Have the guts to bonesaw dissident but no guts to stand up for Palestinians like his family did in the past.” - Submitted by Anonymous

What are you currently reading?
I've been having trouble getting into just one book lately, so I've currently been reading parts of several books, hoping one of them hooks me. Guess what? That's literally never worked any time I've ever tried it, and yet, I still do it constantly. It always ends up taking me longer to read everything than if I just read the books one after the other.
Anyway, this is what I'm in the middle of right now, all of which are too interesting to keep me from focusing on just one at a time:
•Lady First: The World of First Lady Sarah Polk (BOOK | KINDLE) by Amy Greenberg •The Victorian Internet: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph and the Nineteenth Century's On-Line Pioneers (BOOK | KINDLE) by Tom Standage •King Faisal of Saudi Arabia: Personality, Faith and Times (BOOK | KINDLE) by Alexei Vassiliev
I'm also still on the Richard Francis Burton kick that I mentioned last year, so I've been reading these too: •Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton: The Secret Agent Who Made the Pilgrimage to Mecca, Discovered the Kama Sutra, and Brought the Arabian Nights to the West by Edward Rice •The City of the Saints: Among the Mormons and Across the Rocky Mountains to California (BOOK/PUBLIC DOMAIN LINK) by Sir Richard Francis Burton

1958-Abd al-Ilah
Tumblr media
Abd al-Ilah of Hejaz, GCB, GCMG, GCVO (Arabic: عبد الإله; also written Abdul Ilah or Abdullah; 14 November 1913 – 14 July 1958) was a cousin and brother-in-law of King Ghazi of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq and was regent for his nephew King Faisal II, from 4 April 1939 to 23 May 1953, when Faisal came of age. Abd al-Ilah also held the title of Crown Prince of Iraq from 1943.
During World War II, Abd al-Ilah was deposed briefly by former Prime Minister Rashid Ali al-Kaylani. The deposed regent spent his time with former Prime Minister Nuri al-Said as a refugee in Amman. During his time in exile, Abd al-Ilah was a guest of his uncle Abdullah, the Emir of Transjordan.
On 2 May, the United Kingdom launched an offensive against the Iraqi rebels. On 26 May, The New York Times newspaper reported that Abd al-Ilah had called for an uprising of tribal and religious leaders to help him overthrow the insurgent government. He appealed specifically to the Iraqi people, the army and the police to accomplish "this heavy task". By 2 June, Rashid Ali's "National Defence Government" had collapsed and Rashid Ali had fled to Iran. Abd al-Ilah returned to Baghdad and was restored as regent. Working in tandem with Nuri al-Said, Abd al-Ilah pursued a moderate nationalist approach while maintaining close ties to the Allies.
Tumblr media
On 14 July 1958, a coup d'état led by Colonel Abd al-Karim Qasim toppled the government and brought an end to the Iraqi monarchy. In the ensuing violence brought on by the coup, Abd al-Ilah was killed, along with most of the Royal Family. The body of Crown Prince Abd al-Ilah was trailed on al Rashid street and was cut into pieces. According to the 21 July edition of Time magazine, Gamal Abdel Nasser's Middle East News Agency gleefully described the assassination of Crown Prince Abd al-Ilah: 'The people dragged Abd al-Ilah's body into the street like that of a dog and tore it limb from limb.' Then the mobs burned the body.

Seydou Zerbo, the Asante Kotoko coach, names a 20-person roster for the King Faisal match.
At the Baba Yara stadium, kickoff for the match is set at 3:00. Isaac Oppong and George Mfegue, as well as the in-form goalie Ibrahim Danlad, will be absent from the contest because they are both on duty with the Black Meteors for their match against Mozambique on Sunday. In their most recent two games, King Faisal and Kotoko combined for six goals, scoring three each. In their four meetings, the…
