These are valuable inputs to our common goal of educating, empowering, and motivating the young generation, as well as learning from them.”
Solange lauded the role of Amir Fehri, a young Tunisian author. “Akhbar Al Aan is committed to supporting the younger generation through several pioneering initiatives, especially with our fruitful cooperation with Amir Fehri, a Tunisian genius whom we consider as among the world’s brightest minds in his young age of 16. He is a messenger of hope and positivity who carries the ambition and aspirations of the Arab youth,” El Rassi remarked.
