Parenting 101: How to Raise Children the Arab Way · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Satirist Karl Sharro dishes out some parenting advice on Twitter to his 51K followers, on how to bring up children, after reading news today that Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has announced a major cabinet reshuffle.
The Saudi king has appointed his nephew, Minister of Interior Mohammed bin Nayef, Crown Prince, and his son and Defense Minister, Mohammed bin Salman, has been made Deputy Crown Prince.
Sharro tweets:
The Saudi king replaced his brother with his nephew. I didn't know we are allowed to replace our brothers.

He adds:
In principle I'm against Saudi court politics. But in practice it's a very effective way to keep my 5-year-old and 3-year-old under control.

Sharro explains the importance of having parents hang their own pictures all over the house:
Another strategy I learned from Ba'athists is creating a personality cult by putting pictures of me around the house. pic.twitter.com/6yT4ejAtOo
