Theeb is a 10-year-old Bedouin boy, who idolizes his older brother Hussein. They live with their family, goats and camels in the desert – although the coming of the railway has all but finished off their traditional role of guiding pilgrims to Mecca.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
