Our Armed Forces and Evacuation of Those Stranded in Afghanistan


Wednesday, August 18, will remain a day engraved in the hearts of the people of the UAE. It was a day of heroic feats of our Armed Forces, who played a crucial role in evacuating diplomats from the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan, under difficult circumstances.
 
The valiant heroes of the UAE respond to the nation’s call at any time. They stand as shining examples of the values of sacrifice, redemption and belonging. They constitute as good role models for our youth and continue to spread the UAE’s civilised and humanitarian message. 
 
The experiences of the past years have taught us those challenges and difficulties only increase the cohesion of “Zayed’s children”. Our Armed Forces, who carried out the evacuation of diplomats, expressed their sincere patriotism, represented a source of pride, and showcased the unity and strength of this society. Our message to them today is that the UAE’s leadership and people are proud of you, as much as they are proud of all members of the Armed Forces.
 
Lt. General Engineer Issa Saif bin Ablan Al Mazrouei, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, has honoured several armed forces heroes with Bravery Medals and the Emirates Military Order, for their heroism during the evacuation of diplomats from Kabul Airport. This Armed Forces’ initiative reflects its appreciation for the heroism of its sons, its keenness to honour them at the highest official levels, and celebration of what they have done. Lt. General Al Mazrouei expressed his appreciation for, and pride in the UAE heroes and defenders of the nation for their heroic stances and honourable acts that reflect their values of courage, giving and sincerity.
 
The members of our Armed Forces are extraordinary ambassadors of this good land, its representatives, and bearers of its moral and humanitarian values and ideals. They disseminate the good tidings of a better tomorrow for humanity and carry out the tasks of reviving hope. Through their heroic deeds, they help to achieve security and stability in various parts of the world. 
 
The bright image that has been established for our Armed Forces abroad as an influential player in maintaining security and stability at the regional and international levels has been formed due to its adherence to authentic Emirati and Arab morals. History testifies that the heroes of our Armed Forces during the performance of the tasks assigned to them abroad were, and will continue to be, ambassadors for the values of our people. They have embodied their noble human principles that defend truth, align with the will of people, and support their legitimate aspirations to achieve security, stability, and development.
 
These heroes set an example for us in loving the homeland, defending its interests, and preserving its gains, to translate the values and principles of the UAE, by upholding the banners of truth and justice, and supporting the oppressed. They have given us the greatest lessons in sincerity, courage and deep belonging to the homeland. On this occasion, we salute the heroes of our beloved country, and our wise leadership. We would promise that we will not forget what these heroes did, and that we will remain – as long as we live – soldiers for this country, making sacrifices after sacrifices for its sake.
