”Condolences”

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed visits the families of Abdulhamid Sultan Al Hammadi and Mohammed Ali Al Bastaki to offer his condolences on Sunday. Wam

Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa, Adviser to the President, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, and Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohammed, the Abu Dhabi Ruler’s Representative in the Eastern Region, extended their condolences to the family of Al Kaabi, who was killed with four Emiratis in the terrorist attack on the headquarters of Kandahar’s governor last Tuesday.

Twelve people were killed in the attack and 18 injured, including the UAE Ambassador. The Emiratis were performing humanitarian and charitable duties at the time.

The uncle of Al Kaabi, who died at the age of 35, said the family were touched by the support of the leaders and their visit made them feel even more proud.

“Abdullah was a man made out of everything good in life, and good people never stay, they belong to a better place,” said Mohammed Al Kaabi. “He left three boys and three girls, and they all know how their father was a hero and will always be their hero.”

Al Kaabi had planned to continue his studies.

“He visited me more than a month ago and he was very satisfied with what he was doing and how he wanted to improve himself to improve the situation of others,” Mr Al Kaabi said.

The brother of Al Hammadi, 53, who was laid to rest in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, said his family appreciated the leaders’ support from their visits, phone calls and on social media.

“Their visit is considered a great honour to us and to Abdulhamid’s family. We treated them as part of the family, the way they like us to do,” said Hassan Al Hammadi, 42. “I wish to continue what my brother started and I ask our leaders to grant me that privilege, to serve the people in need and raise the country’s name up high.”

Ahmed Al Bastaki, a brother of martyr Al Bastaki, 62, said that the leaders’ visit made their mother proud.

“They talked with all of us and made us feel more happy and proud. Our mother was glad with their visit and they treated us like members of the family,” he said.

“We are proud of our brother and that he died holding the country’s name in his heart and showing to the rest of the world that we are a country of giving and givers.”

In their visits, the leaders prayed to Allah to bestow His mercy and eternal peace on the martyrs, and to grant their families patience and solace.
