Princess Lalla Salma Current Events: February 2005-September 2011

[Turkish Delight]

I think the same thing,too it will be very interesting summit!

[rosa]

for me the summit is without interest, for the humanitarian aids, the problem is that the border gaza-egypt is close to make enter the aids, can these ladies open the border, the answer is no, imo, the better that can make these ladies is to not disturb the attention of people with their unsuful summit, and let people concentrate in serious things

These women have complete access to the people in power so why not get together and talk about what they can do. They probably know a lot more about what the situation is than most of us who only read what the press is allowed to write.
The women behind the men ruling the world have immense power to persuade and to impart a different perspective. Besides most men in power marry very capable and intelligent women.

Mademoiselle Lilo,Carla Bruni didn't come. I don't know the reason.
Lalla Salma didn't come,either.Why is that?

[Mademoiselle Lilo]

i have no idea Turkish Delight i have to say that when i didn't found anything about her and this meeting in Maghreb Arab Press i start to have doubts about her presence.

[carlota]

it seems that many of the attendees didn't go in the end. such a shame. i wonder if they actually achieved anything. it was nice seeing rania, sheikha mozah and syria's first lady though.

[zineb]

[Mademoiselle Lilo]

grevinnan, which power those first ladies have complete access to, when their husbands don't have?
if you are speaking of "women behind the men ruling powerful countries in the world" that's something different, and still they don't have complete access of power. plus, none of those invited first ladies are from such country (apart carla bruni)

[shrifia]

you know what guys,I am glad she didn't attend,because it's not that kind of meeting that Gaza need but a fast polotical acts to stop violance now and I don't see those women succeded in that when the whole world faild,so if her attendance was only for wearing Palestinian koufia,chating a little bit with her first ladies friends and take some pics she did well no to go.

Maybe the wifes are capable and intelligent, but they have not been elected by the public and should therefor stay out of the limelight. This is business of the elected representatives IMHO.

for this event in turkey, i believe there are the same reasons. plus this meeting has some kind of "political" meanings and you know moroccan princesses aren't expected to show their political opinions. if it's for humanitarian aid, salma can help from morocco. as for rania, she was there bcz she has more presence worldwide (even more than her husband) and she is originally from palestine, so it does concern her more than any other arab first lady. i would be surprised if she wasn't there. but what this meeting come with, that's another story.

[shrifia]

you're right Zineb the MRF princes and princesses can talk about their polotical opinions in public,exept the king of cours.

[sgl]

I wonder why Lalla Salma's name was listed as one of the attendees during the earlier reports. Was she planning to go, and then backed out; or was this just a mistake on the part of the reporter?

[Humera]

All right guys we've been over this before.
Let's re-focus on the Princess' current events.

Thanks!
