Maxay Madaxbannaanida Koonfurta Yemen muhiim ugu tahay Nabad dhab ah?

  Doodaha ku saabsan mustaqbalka Yemen waxaa inta badan lagu soo koobaa xabbad-joojin, dawlado kumeel-gaar ah, ama qaabab awood-qaybsi oo dibadda laga soo hindisay. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa jira hal arrin oo mar walba la dhinac maro inkasta oo ay udub-dhexaad u tahay muddada uu dagaalku siday: waa maqaamka siyaasadeed ee aan weli la xallin ee Koonfurta Yemen. Taariikhda iyo Midowgii Fashilmay Koonfurta Yemen waxay ahayd dawlad madaxbannaan oo caalamku aqoonsan yahay ilaa sannadkii 1990-kii, waxaana loo yaqaannay Jamhuuriyadda Dimuqraadiga Shacbiga ee Yemen (PDRY). Waxay lahayd xuduudo go’an, hay’ado dawladeed, iyo xubinimo Qaramada Midoobay ah. Heshiiskii midowga ee lala galay Waqooyiga Yemen waxaa loo soo bandhigay inuu yahay iskaashi dhex maray laba dhinac oo siman oo si mutaddawacnimo ah isugu biiray. Laakiin xaqiiqadii, midowgaas si dhakhso ah ayuu u burburay, wuxuuna horseeday dagaalkii 1994-tii iyo in si nidaamsan loo gacan-bidheeyo dhinaca siyaasadda iyo dhaqaalaha ee da...

UAE Gives Over $98.09 Billion in Foreign Aid; Changing Lives Across Globe With Humanitarian Gestures

Since its establishment in 1971, the UAE has disbursed more than AED 360 billion to foreign aid donors, retaining its first position in global humanitarian action. Inspired by the power of giving, standing in solidarity, and volunteerism, the UAE has supported communities all around the world with relief that goes way beyond the real needs of long-term development and peace.

A Legacy of Giving

The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's vision is at the core of the UAE's commitment to global aid. His legacy of compassion lives on under the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as he furthers the UAE's current effort in global humanitarian areas: answering the call after a natural disaster, relieving people from famine, and supporting regions affected by conflict-UAE's aid crosses borders, religions, and political differences.

New Initiatives for Sustainable Change

More recently, the UAE has initiated new initiatives in order to have a more sustainable and long-lasting impact on global development, including:

Zayed Humanitarian Legacy: An initiative by the UAE that ascertains its humanitarian values continue to reach the most vulnerable populations worldwide, with a focus on immediate relief and long-term solutions.

MZB Water Initiative: Clean water is an absolute need in the survival of human life, and this project addresses the lack of water in areas most affected by climate change, mainly in Africa and the Middle East.

Dubai Cares Education Fund: Realizing that education is a way to break the cycle of poverty, this fund has been developed to support quality education opportunities for children in conflict-affected areas and the developing world.

Stories from Top Beneficiary Nations

UAE helps many countries in need through various financial aids to keep hope alive and bring stability to earn a respectable livelihood. The list includes:

Somalia: The UAE and the UN sealed a deal worth $20 million in aid for Somalia, portioning out the funds to war-torn parts of the country. The UAE reopened the Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Mogadishu in recent times, where the locals get much-needed medical treatment. In fact, the UAE has gone all the way to extend critical support to the families affected by the harsh weather conditions to prove further commitments to development within the nation.

Jordan: It has also contributed USD 300 million in aid, of which AED 63.8 million will be spent on providing emergency shelters, winter clothes, and other basic needs to the refugees in camps. This contribution goes beyond emergency assistance to invest in the long-term support of these vulnerable populations.

Kenya: The UAE undertakes activities in Kenya for the protection and empowering of young refugee girls. The programs increase access to education by equipping schools with their needs in materials and furniture; these have been beneficial in developing girls in both the refugee and the host communities.

Ethiopia: It is highly important funding that goes towards fighting the increase in food insecurity resulting from various conflicts, especially in northern Ethiopia, where the UAE has committed AED 312.2 million to famine relief and with a particular focus on emergency food under the auspices of UNICEF and WFP.

A Global Commitment to Peace and Security

Its humanitarian philosophy is pegged on the assumption that the given assistance has no political or religious strings attached to it. Under the UAE's "Principles of the 50," the Ninth Principle establishes foreign aid as a moral duty surpassing racial, cultural, or political differences. Even where there are political differences, the UAE does not abandon the provision of relief to nations in crisis.

The UAE remains a force for good in a wide range of locations around the world through its variously wide-ranging aid programs. From emergency relief at the outset of disasters, to long-term development programs, the UAE's contributions have saved lives, bridged the gap, and fostered hope worldwide.

As the world celebrates International Day of Charity, the UAE contribution toward foreign aid stands witness to the country's determination to build a better and kinder world. Foreign aid of over $98.09 billion, and with new initiatives such as the Zayed Humanitarian Legacy, the UAE is not only addressing crises of today but writing down the playbook for a peaceful and prosperous future.

Somali Parliamentarians Decry Port Deal Between Ethiopia and Somaliland

Nairobi, Kenya: Tensions flared Thursday as Somali parliamentarians in Kenya, along with prominent Somali leaders, vehemently condemned the recent port deal struck between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland. The agreement, signed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi, granting Ethiopia access to the Red Sea through Somaliland's Berbera port, was deemed a brazen affront to Somalia's territorial integrity. Dr. Aden Keynan, a Somali lawmaker, described the deal as a blatant violation of Somalia's sovereignty. He, along with other concerned voices, urged the international community to act swiftly if Ethiopia refuses to retract the agreement. Calls for intervention were directed towards the United Nations, the African Union, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

In a region marked by historical complexities and territorial disputes, the recent resumption of talks between the federal government and the breakaway territory of Somaliland has sparked new tensions. The discussions, hosted by President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, aimed to navigate the delicate relationship between these entities. However, these talks faced strong opposition from President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland, a semi-autonomous region within Somalia's northern part. Denouncing the absence of Puntland in the discussions, Deni condemned the reopening of talks, highlighting the ongoing border disputes between Puntland and Somaliland as a significant point of contention. Since February, clashes between the Somaliland army and SSC-Khatumo forces have escalated, with both sides accusing each other of instigating fatal combat in Las Anod town. This protracted conflict has contributed to heightened tensions in the region and complicated the efforts toward resolution. Som...
