History of the United Arab Emirates

The Iron Age in the United Arab Emirates hosted three periods other than the Iron Age. The Iron Age I ranged from 1,200 to 1,000 BC, the Iron Age II from 1,000 to 600 BC, and the Iron Age III from 600 to 300 BC. This period of human development in the region followed the era mleiha or late pre-Islamic, from the year 300 to. C. onwards to the Islamic era, which began with the culmination of the Ridda wars of the seventh century.

To some extent, the term "Iron Age" is incorrectly applied, as there are few proofs of any indigenous iron work outside of the findings in Muwailah, which are believed to be imports, and even the extensive evidence of found iron throughout the Iron Age found in Saruq. Al Hadid is dominated by the production of copper and tin.

The findings of the important Tell Abraq site in Umm al-Qaywayn have been crucial in the division of the three periods of the Iron Age in the United Arab Emirates.

The States of the Truce, also known as Oman of the Truce, refer to the current territories of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Baréin. Before the arrival of the British Empire on the Arabian peninsula, there was so much piracy on the coast, that the area was known as the "costa of pirates". When the British began to be interested in the products that existed in the territory, they had a hearing with the head of the Arab tribe of the place. Thus it was decided that the British empire would take over the territory in exchange for the security of the region, for the high piracy that existed. After a while the British changed the name of the coast by "states of the Truce" in 1892. After becoming British territory, he was annexed to other territories (Catar and Baréin).

The dispute of Buraimi was a series of attempts to influence the loyalties of the tribes and communities within and around the oasis of Buraimi (Oman) in the 1940s and 1950s, which culminated in an armed conflict between the forces and loyal tribes to Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Truce States (now the United Arab Emirates), which erupted as a result of a territorial dispute over the Tawam area, today It was an attempted Saudi invasion of Buraimi's oasis. Its roots were the division of tribal areas and communities that took place in the States of the Truce when oil companies sought concessions to explore the interior.

The desert areas controlled by Ibn Saúd, which would comprise the territories that became Saudi Arabia in 1932, and by the States of the Truce, under British protectorate since 1892, came into contact in the 1920s. By the 1927 Jeddah treaty, Ibn Saúd agreed not to threaten areas under British protection in exchange for recognition of its control over Hiyaz and Néyed.

After the independence of the Arab Emirates in 1971, Sultan Emirati Zayed signed a border agreement with Saudi king Faial on 21 August 1974. The route left the villages of the al-Breimi oases region, bordering Oman, and a large part of the al-Zafra desert to the emirates, while Saudi Arabia gained coastal access between the territories of Qatar and the emirate of Abu Dhabi, south-east of Khawr al-Udayd Bay, and control of the Shaybah oil field.

It was made public in 1995 during its deposit with the United Nations. Ratified in 1993 by Saudi Arabia, it is not for the United Arab Emirates.

In the middle of the years 2000, after the death of Sultan Zayed, the Emirati authorities questioned the 1974 agreement. The ministries of that country use a map extending the territory of the federation to the land border of Qatar. The 1974 route and its maritime consequences impacted, for example, the Dolphin Gas Project of pipeline between the Emirates, Catar and Oman.

Sterling Airways flight 296 crashed on 14 March 1972 against the crest of a mountain near Kalba (United Arab Emirates) as he approached Dubai. It was a charter flight from Colombo to Copenhagen (Denmark) with scales in Bombay (India), Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Ankara (Turkey). The 106 passengers and 6 crew members on board died in the accident, the cause was attributed to a pilot error. The flight was operated by a Sud Aviation Caravelle, OY-STL plate.

To date, it is the most deadly air disaster involving a Sud Aviation Caravelle, the most deadly air disaster in the history of the United Arab Emirates along with Gulf Air Flight 771 detonated 11 years later, leaving the same figures and the most fatal air accident involved a Danish aircraft

(The United Arab Emirates is a federal state formed by seven Emirates, in which (each emirate has a strong independence). In this way, (every ruler chooses the pace of transition between a traditional state) to another of a modern economy. The seven emires of the UAE form the supreme council, the principal organ of government. Every five years, two of them are elected president and vice president of the council. Although not official, the president of the country is by inheritance a Sheikh of the emirate of Abu Dhabi and the Prime Minister, the Sheikh of the Emirate of Dubai. Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan was the president of the Emirates from its foundation until his death on November 2, 2004. His eldest son, Jalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan was president until May 13, 2022, the current president is Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahayan.

(The Supreme Council is also responsible for electing the members of the Council of Ministers, while the Federal National Council is the federal legislative body composed of 560 members of whom 364 are elected by the Emirati citizens and the rest are appointed by the rulers of each emirate. The Federal National Council is responsible for reviewing the laws proposed by the government. There is also a federal judicial system, which all states have joined except Dubai and Ras Al-Jaymah. All emirates impart Islamic and secular law for civil, criminal and macaquise cases

The United Arab Emirates has been one of the countries with the greatest population growth, due not only to high birth and a steady improvement in living conditions, but above all to a strong migration from other countries—especially Islamic countries.

The United Arab Emirates has an open economy with high per capita GDP and trade surpluses. Successful efforts to diversify the economy reduced the share of oil and natural gas in gross domestic product to only 25%. Since the discovery of oil in the Emirates in 1960, the country has undergone a profound transformation from a region of poor principalities in the middle of the desert to a modern country with a high standard of living. Government spending expanded job creation, and infrastructure expansion increased the economic involvement of the private sector. The territory of Emirates is in its entirety desert. Traditional economic activities are therefore limited to the collection of dates, fishing and the breeding of camels. In the middle of the centuryXX. the whole of the Emirates was one of the poorest regions on the planet. However, oil exports discovered significant reserves of oil and natural gas in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

NATO countries and partners in the region such as Catar, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan participating in the military mission in Libya have carried out more than 21,660 air patrols since the start of the operation, at the end of March, including some 8,140 attack missions in search of a specific target to destroy.

On 27 September 2014, United States aircraft, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan attacked seven times facilities of the terrorist group in Aleppo, Raqa and Kobane in Syria, and three areas in the south-west of Erbil.

On 6 February 2015, the Moroccan planes participating in the coalition against Islamic State ceased bombing against their positions in Iraq and Syria, after the United Arab Emirates did so, even if they did not officially confirm it, U.S. sources disclosed to them. New York Timeswithout being at any time demented, the Emirati planes stopped participating in the bombings since the capture of the Jordanian pilot Moaz Kasasbeh was known.

On 15 November and following the attacks of Paris in November 2015, French aviation launched a bombardment of the group's objectives in Raqa, the self-proclaimed capital of the Caliphate in eastern Syria. Ten French planes dropped 20 bombs on precise targets, which included two training camps. The operation was carried out in coordination with the US forces. The bombing included the participation of 10 combat aircraft, which acted simultaneously, from bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. France had mobilized its Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier on 5 November to the Gulf to increase the level of its operations.

Two days later France also carried consecutive attacks against Islamic State in Raqa its capital, until 17 November are at least 15 attacks by French bombers on Raqa.

The intervention took place at the request of the Yemeni government, following a strike attack on its provisional capital, Aden after an uprising in the framework of the Arab Spring in 2011, which forced then President Ali Abdullah Saleh to hand over power to Vice President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi. It was thought that a political transition would lead peace to the country, but this transition failed and there was a struggle of power among the supporters of Saleh, the rebel movement of the Huti, and the forces of Hadi. Saleh, a Yemeni president who had ruled the country for more than 30 years, joined the Huti to drive Hadi out of the Yemeni government. Since 2014, Saleh and the Huts controlled the capital, which was left in the hands of only the Huts after Saleh's murder.

In 2015 Saudi Arabia, alarmed by the progress of the Huti, a group that it considers militarily supported by Iran, launched an air military campaign to restore the Hadi government, which had called for an intervention to recover the capital and eliminate the Huti threat. In addition, Saudi Arabia was threatened by Iran, the Shii regional power and its main competitor in the Middle East.

The main countries that formed the international coalition to overthrow the Huti were the Sunni Arab States, including Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Baréin, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Sudan and Senegal. Some of these countries only participated in air raids, but others also sent troops to Yemen to fight for land.

The Saudi Arabian coalition has received logistical and intelligence support from the United States, the United Kingdom and France.

The Document on the Human Fraternity for World Peace and Common Convivence, also known as the Abu Dhabi Declaration, was signed by Pope Francis and the Great Iman of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on 4 February 2019.

The document underlines the obligation of Muslims and Christians to ensure that every human person is cared for. He calls on intellectual leaders and the media to promote peace at this time of danger because of "religious and national extremism". It also calls for an end to wars, terrorism and violence in general, especially those on religious grounds.

To achieve the objectives of the document, the Supreme Committee for Human Fraternity was established in Abu Dhabi on 20 August 2019 with Christians, Muslims and Jews.

Following the signing of the document, the House of the Abrahamic Family was designed to house a mosque, a church, a synagogue and an educational centre on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi.

The principles of compassion and human solidarity embodied in this text are the same ones that later inspired the resolution that he installed on 4 February as the International Day of Human Fraternity, as the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, has stated on different occasions. Finally, the Document on Human Fraternity also influenced the encyclical Fratelli tutti, as Pope Francis recognizes in the same text by stating that to write it was inspired by his meeting with Ahmed el-Tayeb in 2019.

The peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel (or the Abraham Agreements) was agreed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel on 13 August 2020. After signing the agreement, the UAE is the third Arab country, after Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994, to sign a peace agreement with Israel, as well as the first country in the Persian Gulf to do so. The treaty normalizes relations between the two countries. At the same time, Israel agreed to suspend plans for the annexation of the Jordan Valley. This agreement was ratified and signed between Israel and the UAE on 15 September 2020 in the White House.

On 19 January, the first case in the UAE was confirmed in a 73-year-old Chinese woman who came to the country on holidays with her family from Wuhan. The family of 4, a 36-year-old mother, a 38-year-old father, a 10-year-old son and a 73-year-old grandmother arrived in the Emirates on 16 January and brought the grandmother to a doctor with flu-like symptoms on 23 January, where it was discovered that the family was infected. The announcement led to the sale of masks in the UAE.

On 31 January, the fifth case of coronavirus in the US was confirmed, in someone who had traveled from Wuhan to Dubai.
