The Arab Chess Federation

After so many years of posting on The Sociology of Chess (November 2016), it finally occurred to me to ask the question, 'What is the difference between a sociologist and a historian?' Google pointed me to Difference Between Sociology and History (byjusexamprep.com), where I learned,

The key difference between sociology and history is that sociology is a social science that focuses on the contemporary social environment. However, history deals with the past and examines previous societies. Sociology is an abstract field, while history is a concrete subject.

Let's consider that an introduction to the following video.

History of Arab Chess Federation (23:24) • '[Published on] Jul 27, 2023'

The description starts,

On July 27, 2023, we celebrate the 48th anniversary of the establishment of the Arab Chess Federation. The federation, currently headquartered in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, is under the esteemed leadership of President Sheikh Saud Bin Abdulaziz Al Mualla.

Its origins date back nearly 50 years, precisely on July 27, 1975, when it was founded in Damascus, Syria by seven national federations, its founding members. On this day, we would like to share this movie that delves into the history of the Arab Chess Federation. [more++]

The video is in Arabic, subtitled in English. Early in the clip, the narrator says, 'He who does not have a past has neither a present nor a future.'

Wikipedia has a page Arab Chess Federation (wikipedia.org), flagged as a stub. The corresponding Arabic page also looks like a stub. A transcript of the video's subtitles would make a useful addition for further study.
