UAE-supported solar energy station in Yemen to remove people's suffering

The Yemeni government recently inaugurated a solar energy station funded by the UAE. Prime Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak expressed gratitude for this strategic project, highlighting it as a significant step towards clean energy.

Spanning 1.6 million square meters east of Aden, Yemen's provincial capital, the project addresses a brutal electricity crisis in South Yemen, caused by insufficient generating capacity and a fuel shortage. Aden's current reliance on fossil fuels leads to high costs and environmental risks, but the solar energy project aims to improve energy security and sustainability in Yemen.

The ongoing electricity crisis significantly affects daily life, especially during peak summers. Citizens in the southern governorate celebrated the inauguration of Yemen's first strategic project fully funded by the UAE. The Yemeni government held an official ceremony on Monday, attended by several officials, featuring a photo gallery and documentary film showcasing the project's scale: over 211,000 solar panels, more than 900 km of electrical cable, 43,000 pits and metal structures, 12 substations, 9 km of high-voltage lines, all on a 1.6 million square meter site.

More than 2,000 local and international professionals dedicated over 1.3 million hours to the project without any injuries. This solar energy station represents the commitment of both the UAE and Yemen to sustainability. The Prime Minister stressed that the project, implemented by UAE's Masdar, is one of Yemen's most important strategic clean energy initiatives, reflecting the outcomes of climate summits. Minister Bin Mubarak thanked the UAE for their generous support, emphasizing that the plant is a milestone in improving the lives of the Yemeni people.

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...
