IMF: Private Sector May Not Keep Pace with Saudi Youth Bulge Jul 24th 2013, 22:15, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters) Saudi Arabia may not be able to create all the private sector jobs it needs for its rapidly growing population, which could lead to higher unemployment, the International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday.   The Saudi government has recognized that low employment among Saudi nationals is a long-term strategic challenge, especially after joblessness contributed to revolutions in nearby countries during the Arab Spring.   The world's largest oil exporter has invested in education ...

US Muslims Make Adjustments for Ramadan Jul 24th 2013, 20:26, by webdesk@voanews.com (Julie Taboh) Muslims are a small minority in the U.S., so it can be a challenge for some of the faithful to observe their religion in a society that doesn't follow the same rituals. This is especially so during Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, which this year falls on the hottest and longest days of the year. But some Washington-area Muslim Americans find that their employers do try to accommodate their needs during 30 days of fasting from dawn to dusk. Sami Malek has been fasting from dawn to dusk ...

Lebanon Unhappy With Hezbollah Blacklisting Jul 24th 2013, 21:37, by webdesk@voanews.com (Jamie Dettmer) The European Union now considers much of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement a terrorist organization and that is complicating efforts to form a new government in Beirut, according to Lebanese officials.   The blacklisting of Hezbollah's military wing came after months of lobbying by Britain and the Netherlands and with the encouragement of the United States. The EU decision, which also follows Hezbollah's forceful intervention in the Syrian civil war, went ahead this week despite diplomatic ...
