      Winner in Danish Boycott: Newspapers
      Hasan Hatrash, Arab News 
        


      JEDDAH, 2 February 2006 - Saudi newspapers seem to be the only winners in 
controversy over blasphemous cartoons first published in Denmark in September 
and since reprinted in other dailies.

      Local newspapers have been receiving a windfall of advertisements in 
recent days taken out by local advertisement agencies clarifying their clients' 
support of the boycott, or denying their relationship to the Nordic country.

      Kuwaiti Danish Dairy Company (KDDC), which has a strong presence in the 
Saudi market, asked people yesterday in a local paper to "Relax" in an advert 
taken out in Al-Riyadh newspaper. The Kuwaiti company claims in the advert that 
they are 100 percent Kuwaiti, that it packages many of its products in Saudi 
Arabia and imports the mangoes for their juice from India.

      The massive advertisement campaigns were held after the boycott began 
last month as a reaction toward the blasphemous cartoons published in 
Jyllands-Posten.

      It has become common during the last couple of weeks to see big 
advertisements in every paper with flashy fonts essentially saying: "We are not 
a Danish product."

      Arab News carried an advertisement yesterday of Anchor milk saying 
simply: "Pure goodness only from New Zealand." The word "New Zealand" is in 
bold.

      Earlier this week, Saudi Arabian Dairy and Foodstuff Co. (SADAFCO) 
published a clarification letter in Saudi newspapers about the termination of 
their Danish co-founders since 1987.

      On the same day that the financially bankrupt French daily owned by a 
French-Egyptian businessman, France Soir, re-published the cartoons, the Saudi 
operations of the French-owned international hypermarket chain Carrefour stated 
that the company has stopped importing Danish products and has removed the 
existing ones from its shelves. The advert declared that any customers finding 
any Danish product in their chain of supermarkets should report it to the 
management for removal.

      It is unknown if Carrefour will now remove French and German products now 
that newspapers in those countries have published the cartoons.

      Al-Othaim chain of supermarkets, also published a full page advert in a 
local newspaper about their latest products. In the lower part of the page 
there was a sign saying "No for Danish products."
