Last month, the world witnessed the Haj season while millions of pilgrims streamed in large numbers from across the globe conveying intentionally or unintentionally their countries’ identities and societies’ traditions and cultures’ characteristics. We could spot these distinctive features in their faces, habits and dresses, while other people looked old and young. - On the 12th of August, countries around the world celebrated the Inter- national Youth Day, and the UAE wise leadership had particular directions to build the generation of the Emirati youth on solid foundations deeply embedded in tradition and identity of this nation. The initiative launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan he received the young Emirati people at Al Bahr Palace in Abu Dhabi. The 28th of August marked the UAE celebration of the Emirati Women’s Day. The month of September marks pupils go-back to school and the start of the journey of learning. This month, we will be celebrating the Prophet’s Migration calling on people to recall the everlasting motto: The true Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe, and a Muhajir (Emigrant) is the one who refrains from what Allah has forbidden.” - Haj has a multitude of national, spiritual and human meanings and significance, and our pilgrims return to the homeland rewarded by Allah where they witnessed moments of spiritual manifestation in the holy sites.

  • Why Arab-Muslim Women in War Matters: a Case Study Analysis of Women in the United Arab Emirates' Armed Forces
    Lund University SIMV07 Graduate School Spring 2015 Master of Science in Global Studies Supervisor: Erik Ringmar Department of Political Science Why Arab-Muslim Women in War Matters: A Case Study Analysis of Women in the United Arab Emirates' Armed Forces By: Natalie Marie-Louise Nolte Lund University Natalie Marie-Louise Nolte Power with, or the ability to act in concert, pooling (symbolic or material) power, resources, and/or knowledge, suggests that a model of state behavior in which we understand actions and responses to actions dichotomously does not tell the whole story - Sjöberg, 2013, p. 115. ii Lund University Natalie Marie-Louise Nolte Abstract Knowledge about women’s participation in combat roles, yet alone in national armed forces in the Arab countries is very limited. Although more women are acquiring access to combat roles worldwide, most scholarly investigations have focused on servicewomen in the West. As the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is emerging as a rampant participant in international relations and it contributes forces to global security agendas, the objective of this thesis is to describe the inclusion of women in the United Arab Emirates’ Armed Forces. The study uses the case example of Major Mariam Al Mansouri who is the United Arab Emirates’ first female air force fighter pilot and whom dropped bombs for the intergovernmental Anti-ISIL Coalition in July/August 2014. The case study was used to describe aspects of the issues that surround the participation of females in the military of a Muslim country. Furthermore, the case study was chosen because when the participation of Major Al Mansouri was made public, it received a very gender-based coverage by the media and scholars particularly from the West.
