- March 1, 2024: EMAIL Confirmation: USA LIBRARY of CONGRESS, ACCEPTED this BOOK. A very HIGH Recognition
Knowing the Middle East is one thing, understanding it is another. Most people in the West do not know the countries in that Region and many Western Governments have been trying to understand it for decades or have failed to do after mistakenly thinking that they know it.
BOOK is in 403 PAGES and is Written in TUTORIAL STYLE and FORMAT. Professor Ally’s book informs and teaches, and provides an ENABLING OPPORTUNITY to correct, in part, some of these mistakes.
Writing a book while engaged in numerous and onerous official duties is not an easy matter. But Professor Ally has skillfully avoided this by preparing to produce the eventual work after leaving the office. Accordingly, the writing of the book has been facilitated by a well-kept detailed diary of events and experiences during his tenure as Ambassador of Guyana in Kuwait. As he teaches in Lesson 69 “maintain records of all you do and keep them securely”.
These records have been supplemented by inputs of PATIENCE, informal opinions from diwaniyas (Arabic meeting places), and commentaries conceived by his own incisive intellect and advice by some of his more experienced diplomatic colleagues, especially the wise DEAN of the DIPLOMATIC CORPS in Kuwait, Ambassador Sheik Abdou Lahad Mbacke of Senegal, who counselled Dr. Shamir: “You need to UNLEARN most of what you learned in the Western World and RELEARN each day you are in Kuwait, as the very rich Kuwait and Gulf Corporation Countries, operate on THREE KEYS: RELATIONSHIP, PATIENCE and RESPECT.”

Tajikistan, Dr. Zubaydullo Zubaydzoda, DEAN of the Diplomatic Corps, Ambassador of the Republic of Tajikistan to the State of Kuwait. “I have known Ambassador of Guyana to the State of Kuwait Dr. Shamir Ally since his appointment. He served his country with distinction during his tenure in Kuwait. He was a skilled diplomat who was able to navigate complex international relationships and promote Guyana’s interests in Kuwait. He was known for professionalism, dedication, and commitment to the diplomatic service.”
TOGO, Ambassador Mohamed Sad Ouro-Sama, DEAN, African Diplomatic Corps with 23 Ambassadors, “We all learn to love Guyana and Dr. Shamir and Dr. Maryann. We the African Diplomatic Corps Group of Ambassadors in Kuwait, adopted Guyana, Dr. Shamir, and Dr. Maryann, into our African Group, and this was never done before, and was not repeated since they left Kuwait in 2020. He is our Brother and Dr. Maryann our sister for their lives. They attended most of the African group activities as our special guests. We do miss them dearly, more than the written words can say.”
