Dr.
Sultan bin Ahmed Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State and Chairman of the Board
of the National Media Council, NMC, has said that the United Arab Emirates is
fighting a war against extremism, stressing that the UAE will stand ready in
the face of any threat to its national security and the security of the region.
During
an interview carried by a number of satellite stations of Abu Dhabi and Dubai
TV along with Al Arabiya channel, Dr. Al Jaber said, "The death of a
constellation of our soldiers taking part in the Arab Coalition's Operation
Restoring Hope will only strengthen our determination and resolve to continue
performing our moral and military duty to liberate Yemen from rebel
militias."
He
added, "We have started seeing signs of victory through successful attacks
and victories achieved by the courage of our troops."
Dr.
Al Jaber paid tribute to the brave souls of the martyrs, expressing his sincere
condolences and sympathy to the UAE’s wise leadership, the Armed Forces and the
families of the martyrs.
He
stressed that the main objective of the UAE’s participation in the Arab
coalition led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is to back the legitimate
government of Yemen and to achieve security and stability in Yemen and the
region.
Speaking
about the UAE’s attention and focus on the economic and social development
issues with its involvement in the war, Dr. Al Jaber said that stability and
security are the essential pillars of economic and social development and that
the economic superiority and leading development model achieved by the UAE in
various fields will not continue without the courage and sacrifices of its
sons.
Commenting
on the performance of national media organisations to cover the war in Yemen,
he said that the National Media Council is in continuous and direct contact
with media institutions and stakeholders, adding, "I have personally
witnessed the ability of our national media to assume its role and
responsibilities in difficult circumstances and adversity through maintaining
credibility as it delivers the right messages with utmost transparency and precision
at this sensitive time."
He
stressed his confidence that Emirati media professionals have a national sense,
full knowledge and awareness which in turn would entitle them to carry out
their tasks in the best way.
Speaking
about the aid and relief that, since the start of Operation Decisive Storm and
then Operation Restore Hope, the UAE confirmed will accompany military support
for the Yemeni legitimacy by providing help and support to the Yemeni people,
and whether there will be any change in the priorities of the UAE after this
day, Al Jaber stressed that the priorities are the same without any change and
"our goal is to liberate Yemen and restore legitimacy."
He
added that His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu
Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, confirmed that
liberating Yemen from the coup militias is our goal.
