Arab Interior Ministers Council discusses enhancing security awareness and crime prevention

 

Tunisian President Kais Saied met with HH Lt General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of the UAE, and Arab Interior Ministers at Carthage Palace for the 41st session of the Arab Interior Ministers Council. The meeting discussed topics related to enhancing joint Arab action and coordination in the security and police fields. Representatives from the League of Arab States, the International Criminal Police Organisation, the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Naif Arab University for Security Sciences, and the Arab Police Sports Federation also attended.

The meetings focused on bolstering security cooperation among Arab countries, including a draft 9th Arab media plan for security awareness and crime prevention, a draft 11th Arab security plan, and a draft 8th phased plan for the Arab strategy for traffic safety. The discussions also focused on areas of cooperation with relevant regional and international organizations, technical reports, and interim plans for cooperation and coordination in confronting different security risks.

The 41st Arab Interior Ministers Council came against increasing tensions in the Gaza Strip and resumed negotiations in Qatar on exchanging the remaining Israeli hostages for a ceasefire in the five-month-long fighting. The Gaza crisis erupted on October 7 as Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on southern Israeli cities, killing 1,200 people and taking several others hostages.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
