UAE Cabinet pays tribute to nation's martyrs

Abu Dhabi - The Cabinet issued a statement in which it offered the condolences to the people of the UAE.

The Cabinet has extended the sincere condolences of the government and the people of the UAE on the martyrdom of the nation's 52 martyrs who fell while taking part in the Arab Coalition's Operation Restoring Hope, led by Saudi Arabia.
The Cabinet issued the following statement in which it offered the condolences to the people of the UAE on the heroic sacrifice made by the nation's martyrs:
"We offer condolences to ourselves, both the Government and the people of the UAE, on the martyrdom of 52 of our brave soldiers who have ascended to Paradise to write the new history of the UAE. We pray to the Almighty Allah to grant their souls rest in eternal peace, and bestow patience and solace on their families and the people of the UAE.
"The Cabinet also congratulates the people of the UAE for demonstrating the new spirit seen nationwide. It is the spirit of determination, victory, sacrifice, unity and cohesion with leaders. These days being experienced by our State will remain firm in the memory of our present and future generations.
"The Cabinet also confirms that these historic moments of our nation are pivotal moments in our journey as feelings and hearts unite, and ideas change to embrace a new way of national action, based on our readiness to make the ultimate sacrifice for the UAE. Emiratis have proven beyond doubt that they would not spare any effort or hesitate for even one moment to sacrifice their lives for the homeland and in defence of the right, and align behind the leaders."
"The blood of the martyrs will not go in vain, and their sacrifices will always remain in the memory of the nation. Their martyrdom will give us more resolve and determination to continue along the path of truth to restore hope to Yemen.
"Yemen will remain a strategic depth of the GCC and the first line of defence against foreign intervention, as well as an essential component of the GCC joint security. Hence, the defence of Yemen and restoration of legitimacy and stability is part and parcel of protecting the security and gains of all the Arab Gulf states.
"The UAE is keen to back the sisterly states to restore security and stability to the Arab region, particularly Yemen. It will continue all efforts to achieve that through supporting the United Nations' efforts to bring peace and stability."
