It a good idea by the City of Washington to name the street in front of the Saudi Embassy as Jamal Kashoggi Way.
I say the idea is good because it could be replicated effectively as follows: 1. Put Arab names leading to Israeli buildings, the Saudi King’s cutout in a Tehran Square, Putin and Trump together on horseback at the Capitol. 2. Give a Mughal name to the street in Delhi where the RSS Chief lives. 3. Name the street where Subash Velingkar calls home after Afonso Albuquerque. 4. Build a road cross in front of Pramod Sawant‘s parking spot at Porvorim. 5. Put a bust of Claude and Norma Alvares on the path leading to Timblo and Dempo mines. 6. Put dirty money in a concrete alcove in front of Michael Lobo and Atanasio Monserrate’s offices. The potential is huge, the list endless. From the CNN: 'Jamal Khashoggi Way' sign unveiled in front of Saudi embassy in Washington, DC A street sign honoring slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was unveiled outside the Saudi embassy in Washington, DC on Wednesday, with DC Council chairman Phil Mendelson saying that “the District is creating a memorial in his honor that cannot be covered up or repressed.” Background: US intelligence reports last year found that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) “approved an operation in Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi,” which MBS has denied. Why it matters: The unveiling of “Jamal Khashoggi Way” comes a month before Biden visits Saudi Arabia, where he is meant to meet with MBS. The trip has already drawn criticism from members of his party and human rights advocates over the kingdom's human rights record and the journalist's murder. Roland Toronto.
