RAS AL KHAIMAH 6th November 2015 (WAM) -- H.H. Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras al-Khaimah has praised the historic victories achieved by the UAE Armed Forces taking part in the Saudi-led coalition's Operation Restoring Hope in Yemen.

In a speech marking the announcement of the imminent return of UAE Armed Forces' first batch from Yemen and the readiness of the second batch to join the Arab coalition forces Sheikh Saud hailed the heroism of the UAE Armed Forces who sacrificed their lives in the battlefield to defend the right and justice in Yemen.

Sheikh Saud said "Today when we receive our heroes of the first batch we see off with feeling of pride and awe the second batch to participate in the Arab coalition forces to complement the victories achieved so far by the first batch as well as the humanitarian and relief role in order to restore the stability to the sisterly Arab country in which powers of evil are working to impose their control by force."

He went on to say "The victories accomplished by the UAE Armed Forces in Yemen give us a sense of pride. They have dedicated themselves for the sake of the homeland and proven their competency in the battlefields. This sacrifice reflects the commitment and belonging to the homeland as well as loyalty to the wise leadership that instilled the love of the country and readiness to sacrifice in them for the sake of the nation's stability."

The RAK Ruler reiterated "Our historic role in Yemen is not only the military side but also touches the humanitarian and relief aspect so as to alleviate the suffering of the people of Yemen provide medical services and food during the unfolding events in Yemen. These efforts complement the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan who led the development and housing projects in Yemen - the legacy sustained and cherished by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan."

"We bid adieu to the second batch of the new armed forces wishing the Almighty Allah to support them. We also pray to the Almighty Allah to bestow His mercy on the martyrs'' he added.
