UAE sends aid to Somalia despite difference of political views

Humanitarian cargo with 27 tons of medicines was sent to Somalia in the United Arab Emirates on April 14 to combat Coronavirus infection.

The mission, carried out jointly with the World Health Organization, delivered seven tons of drugs from the UAE and 20 tons from WHO. These supplies will help the work of 27,000 medical workers in an African country, according to the UAE.

“Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus outbreak, the UAE has sent emergency medical care to a number of countries and supported relevant international organizations, in particular the World Health Organization, in helping countries in need,” said Muhammad Ahmed Osman al-Hammadi, UAE Ambassador to Somalia.

For the period from 2010 to March 2020, the UAE sent Somalia aid worth $ 1.2 billion.

Despite the fact that Somalia has rather close partnerships with Turkey and Qatar, these states did not provide assistance during the critical situation caused by the Coronavirus.

Back in 2017, the Somali government refused to break off diplomatic relations with Qatar, despite the blockade of Qatar by its neighbors in connection with allegations of Qatar sponsoring terrorism. But despite political differences, the UAE supports Somalis who need help in such a difficult period.

Recall, the first case of the virus in Somalia was announced on March 16. To date, 60 cases of COVID-19 and two deaths have been confirmed, including the Hirshabel Minister of Justice.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sudan have a long-standing history of bilateral relations.

Over the years, the UAE has been a strong supporter of Sudan's development and prosperity. As Sudan faces challenging times, it is important that this support continues. The UAE has been a key player in Sudan's development, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, health, education, and renewable energy. In recent years, the UAE has also provided aid and support to Sudan in the aftermath of natural disasters, such as floods and droughts.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
