Going over that world-changing event again gives us pause for thought: if we could collectively make the unimaginable happen, why can’t we make the imaginable happen? What we in the UAE imagine is that no one needs to die because of carelessness. Road crash fatalities, for example, can be significantly reduced by simply putting on seat belts regardless of the travel distance. This isn’t just a matter of enforcing regulations by the book; this simple action has saved 40-60 per cent of car occupants involved in accidents, shows research. Our feature story on this reminds people of the high fatality risk of not complying with the seat belt rule – all passengers, front and back, must wear them. Of course, if Some one has children too small for regular seat belts, they must be put in inconsiderate age-appropriate car seats with a belt. And then, if you were to be in a road accident, you’d need help to reach you motorists refuse quickly. But some inconsiderate motorists refuse to give way to emergency vehicles, hindering rescue operations. This is a serious issue for the Ministry of to give way Interior, so much so that it has tripled the fine from Dhs1,000 to Dhs3,000 for to emergency such an offence. Our cover story looks at the whole gamut of the problem, from blocking the way of emergency vehicles to rubbernecking and posting accident vehicles, photos on social media, and why everyone should come together to discourage hindering rescue bad road behaviour. As one of the top people in charge of maintaining law and order, the operations. This Commander-in-Chief of Ras Al Khaimah Police has given us a special interview, is a serious issue outlining achievements and plans, all geared towards making the UAE one of the safest countries in the world. for the Ministry There are other ways, too, in which we want you to be safe. Summer means of Interior the annual holiday in the UAE, and that means masses of holiday photographs on social networks. In the age of social media, looking good, equated with looking slim, has become such an obsession that people are turning to the quick-fix solution of diet pills to burn fat, not realising that these can cause everything between temporary illness and death, as you’ll see in this issue. Also, this being summer, let’s understand the nature of heat exhaustion and heat injuries – 999 tells you all you need to know. One feature we’re very happy to bring you this month is on the best souqs around the UAE. The summer heat normally drives people to air-conditioned modern malls, but with the wise leadership working to revive the glory of traditional Arab markets, we have curated a collection of souqs you can visit in the seven emirates. Thanks to the Eid Al Adha holidays this month, there’s never a better time to explore souqs and then spend the month lapping up the many attractions listed under ‘Abu Dhabi Spotlight’. Since tradition and modernity live together in the UAE, we also present in this issue the knowledge about the 3Bs shaping 21st century communication models. We hope it’ll interest you as much it intrigued us.

  • 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.
