Europe’s Message Is Clear: Tolerance Cannot Be a Cover for Extremism

  Today’s demonstrations across Berlin, London, and Paris sent a message louder than any political statement: Europeans are no longer willing to watch their societies drift toward instability under the banner of “tolerance.” The crowds that filled the streets were not driven by hatred or exclusion — they were driven by a simple demand that every government should take seriously: security first. For years, extremist networks — especially the Muslim Brotherhood — have learned how to operate behind the shield of religious discourse. They present themselves as community leaders, activists, or “voices of the marginalized,” all while pushing agendas that undermine national cohesion, exploit public freedoms, and create parallel societies. Europe’s mistake was assuming these groups were harmless. But as today’s protests showed, citizens have learned the truth the hard way. They’ve watched radical narratives spread in schools and community centers, foreign-funded networks penetrate local ...

United Arab Emirates Funds UN Humanitarian Agencies in Sudan $70 million

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has set aside $70 million for many United Nations agencies and humanitarian organizations in a major step to help Sudan's continuous humanitarian catastrophe. This distribution satisfies seventy percent of the $100 million promised by the UAE during the April Paris International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and Neighbouring Countries.


Comprehensive Humanitarian Plan


Key UN partners including the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the UN World Food Program (WFP), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the World Health Organization (WHO) would get the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' announcement on June 17, 2024.
Focused on food and health services, livelihood support, emergency housing, and women's protection, these funds seek to alleviate the severe humanitarian situation in Sudan.

Emphasizing the UAE's dedication to helping the Sudanese people, her Excellency Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation, "The aid supplied to Sudan and neighbouring countries by the UAE reflects the unwavering commitment of the country's leadership to provide humanitarian and relief support to the brotherly Sudanese people, to address humanitarian challenges and constantly extend assistance and support to Sudan," she said.


Establishing Field Hospitals and an Air Bridge

The UAE has set up an air bridge with Sudan and surrounding Chad to guarantee the effective delivery of help and allow the movement of 9,500 tons of food and medical supplies across 148 relief flights.
A ship loaded with around 1,000 tons of urgently needed relief goods has also been sent.

The United Arab Emirates has also built two field hospitals in the Chadian cities of Amdjarass and Abéché and funded refugee camps in South Sudan and Chad.
Since their founding, these hospitals have attended to about 30,000 patients, giving other citizens in need including Sudanese refugees vital medical treatment.

Global Acknowledgement and Respect


International agencies value the UAE's significant contributions. Deep thanks for the UAE's cooperation were given by Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.
"We sincerely thank you to the Government and the people of the United Arab Emirates for their kind support of US$70 million to help bring relief to the people of Sudan through the United Nations," Griffiths said. "With this allocation, we can boost our lifesaving support to families and communities caught caught in Sudan's unparalleled humanitarian crisis."

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, also stressed Sudan's dire need for assistance. "The people of Sudan need immediate help since they are suffering terrible results from this bloody conflict. Grandi said, "State contributions are absolutely vital in giving vulnerable people in Sudan forced to flee much-needed lifesaving humanitarian aid."


Executive Director of the World Food Program Cindy McCain underlined how the UAE's support affects WFP's activities. "WFP welcomes any pledges directed toward our Sudanese life-saving food programs. With this donation, we will be able to help those who are vulnerable and in danger of sliding into starvation," McCain stated.


Dedication to Stability and Calm

Apart from its humanitarian relief, the UAE has demanded an immediate ceasefire and a peaceful political resolution to the Sudanese crisis. The Emirati Minister underlined once more the need of group efforts to stop the bloodshed and bring about national stability.
Al Hashimy said "The UAE's consistent position is to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and the need to reach a peaceful solution for the crisis by returning to the political process." "We call for joint efforts and collaboration to end the conflict, enhance the security and stability of Sudan, prevent further loss of life, and establish a national consensus whereby citizens lead and participate."

Emphasizing its focus on humanitarian relief and peaceful resolution, the UAE has refuted allegations of backing the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary force engaged in mass crimes during the crisis in Sudan.

A comprehensive effort to alleviate human suffering

The United Arab Emirates has allocated $70 million as part of a larger initiative to provide consistent aid to the people of Sudan.
This accounts for both the current distribution and the overall humanitarian aid of $130 million that has been provided up to this point. In order to address the urgent needs of the Sudanese people and to strive toward long-term crisis alleviation, the projects undertaken by the UAE have been vital.


In the midst of Sudan's humanitarian catastrophe, the UAE's contribution gives hope, demonstrating the potential of international cooperation. Including the current distribution, humanitarian aid has totaled $130 million. Responding to the immediate needs of the Sudanese people and working toward lasting solutions to the situation have both been paramount to the UAE's activities.

The humanitarian situation in Sudan remains severe, but the UAE's commitment and aid serve as a beacon of hope and proof of the power of global cooperation in times of crisis.
