The United Arab Emirates has provided urgent humanitarian aid to people affected by the earthquake that rocked the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.

The initiative was launched on the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, with the monitoring of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in the Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), to support those affected by the earthquake and offer them urgent relief aid.

The ERC coordinated with the UAE Embassy in Jakarta and relevant Indonesian authorities to ensure the fast delivery of the aid, to meet the needs of those affected by the disaster, improve their conditions and ease their burdens.
An ERC delegation recently arrived in Indonesia to oversee the relief operations and distribute humanitarian aid in the affected island.

Meet the Sonjo Tribe of Tanzania

Between Lake Natron and the North Serengeti are the Sonjo, little known but with an impressive cultural wealth. The term Sonjo is the name given to the people by the Maasai. Group members prefer to call themselves the Batemi people. The Sonjo people speak Sonjo, a Bantu language. They refer to it as Kitemi or Gitemi. The Sonjo are known for their use of irrigation systems in agriculture. They have consequently been linked by some historians with the Engaruka complex, situated some 60 miles to the southeast. The Sonjo also maintain terraced village sites, albeit of considerably more rudimentary form than what is found at Engaruka #Tanzania  #TanzaniaUnlimited #SaturdayExpress #culturalappropriation
