The UAE’s Consistent Contribution to Peace and Stability in Yemen has been a noteworthy development

-
Senior US diplomat and former deputy assistant secretary for Arabian Gulf Affairs Tim Lenderking has been appointed as envoy to Yemen.

UAE Minister of State For Foreign Affairs, Anwar Gargash sent him a congratulatory message on Twitter,

“Congratulations to Timothy Lenderking on his appointment by 
@POTUS
as Special Envoy for Yemen. Tim’s expertise and US engagement will bring new and needed energy and focus to help resolve the conflict and improve stability across the region.”

UAE’s impact in the development of Yemen over the past couple of years has been consistent. UAE has provided military assistance and training to Yemenis to help the combat Al-Houti and other groups that have terrorized Yemen.

The UAE recently ended its military involvement in Yemen in October of last year, but they continue to support the UN effort through multiple peace initiatives to see peace reign in Yemen.

UAE remain one of the greatest contributors towards helping Yemen achieve peace and stability and they are eager for the war in Yemen to be over.

UAE has also remained one of the largest providers of humanitarian assistance to the Yemenis. The UAE have provided assistance to Yemen in different sectors, they have rehabilitated schools and hospitals, securing energy, rebuilding airports and ports, expansion of roads and building housing units, along with other projects aimed at ensuring livelihood for multiple segments of the Yemeni people, including widows, orphans and people of determination.

The number of Yemeni who received the UAE medical support reached 11.4 million; up to 14.8 million medical consultations were provided; 13 million people received immunisations; and around 3.5 million benefitted from the medical services improvement programmes.
The UAE - through an aid amounting to AED294 million (US$80 million) - rehabilitated and restored 360 educational facilities that included schools, kindergartens and institutes, and also provided school uniforms to 120,000 male and female students, as well as school bags for 85,000 Yemeni students.
The value of assistance provided by the UAE to Yemen from April 2015 through February 2020 amounted to over AED22 billion (US$6 billion), according to the Emirates Red Crescent’s latest figures

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

That's when he leaves his tribe with other boys his age.  Young boys go out to the bush to graze cattle. They learn to dominate their fear of wild beasts and must be able to protect their flock.
