► HUFFINGTON POST 26 April 2013 : Omar Borkan Al Gala, Emirati Man, Deported From Saudi Arabia For Being Too Handsome? (PHOTO) ||  ► The AUSTRALIAN 26 April 2013 : Is Omar Borkan Al Gala the man too sexy for Saudi Arabia?

[Have I told you the relativity of handsomeness in men and the beauty in women? Social media say he is handsome? Ah, for me, absolutely not. Omar Al Borkan Gala is not handsome at all. He looks like a feminine man. If there's a chance I'll ask him whether he is also a gay. Handsome men for me are, for example: my late father, Vladimir Putin, Mikhail Prokhorov, Alain Soral, Che Guevara, Imran Khan, my "ex husband", my partner, my baby. What? Your baby?  He is not a man, yet, Cisca!] Moreover, is there no other reports say that Saudi Arabia is the funniest country in the world? Ehhehehe...

► Iraq PM condemns spread of sectarianism. Police in Iraq's Anbar Province have imposed an evening curfew and have given protesters an ultimatum - find the killers of four soldiers in the next 24 hours or there will be consequences. Weeks of anti-government protests has boiled over into violence and anger in the past five days. More than 200 people have died in the fighting. Al Jazeera's Omar al Salah reports from Baghdad.

Need to confirm the existence of a real effort to disintegration of the countries in region by Turkey by using the elements internally. (Ahmet Davutoglu - Iraq Nouri al-Maliki): A number of elements in Iraq provoked by Turkey, and Ankara wants to spread the ethnic slander and sectarian in Iraq. The Iraqi people have to understand the purpose and target of Turkey, namely the overthrow of government and disintegration of Iraq. Therefore, Turkey has lost its place among Iraqis. Touching upon Turkey's double standards political towards Kurdistan, I think Turkish government oppresses Kurdistan and taking away their freedom. But they provoke the Kurds of Iraq. Ankara also has violated Iraqi law by signing an agreement to buy oil directly from Kurdistan without involving the central government in Bahghdad. It has been proven to the Iraq people, that the anti-government demonstrations in recent time is the result of Turkey provocation.
