UAE's Efforts Toward Permanent Peace in Sudan

In a bid to protect civilians, ensure humanitarian access, and halt hostilities in Sudan, the UAE, along with the US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UN, and other delegations, recently met with representatives of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

In Indonesia, the UAE has allocated significant funding to combat tuberculosis. Recently, the Gulf state dispatched a relief plane carrying aid for flood victims in Rio Grande do Sul. The UAE has also been actively involved in humanitarian efforts in the Philippines.

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.

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...

The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...
