Somaliland President Musa Bihi has sent a message of condolence to United Arab Emirates following the death of the country’s president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Friday, May 13.
In his condolence message Bihi said he is deeply saddened by the death of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
“On behalf of the people and government of Somaliland, I send my heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the government and people of the UAE. May Allah rest his soul in peace.
Also sending his condolences from Hargeisa was the former Somaliland representative to UAE Bashe Omar who said that the loss of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan was big.
“It is with great sorrow and deep sadness to hear of the death of UAE president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Our condolences to the government and the people of the UAE,” Bashe said.
Bashe added: “We pray that the almighty Allah will grant the bereaved families, leaders and the people of UAE the strength and courage to overcome this great loss.”
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the UAE government have been Somaliland’s key development allies, helping in the expansion of the Berbera Port and several other infrastructural projects in Somaliland.
His modernization policies helped transform his country into a regional powerhouse.
“The Ministry of Presidential Affairs mourn the people of the UAE, the Arab and Islamic nations, and the whole world. The leader of the nation and the patron of its march, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, passed away to the Lord’s side today, Friday, May 13,” it was reported.
“The Ministry of Presidential Affairs announces an official mourning and flags to be flown at half-mast for the late His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, may God have mercy on him, for a period of 40 days, starting today, and suspending work in ministries, departments, federal and local institutions, and the private sector for 3 days, starting today (Friday),”
Sheikh Khalifa’s role had been largely ceremonial since he suffered a stroke and underwent surgery in 2014. His brother and Abu Dhabi’s crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, has been widely seen as the de-facto leader of the UAE, handling day-to-day affairs for the Gulf state.
Sheikh Khalifa was appointed as the second president of the UAE in 2004, succeeding his father and founder of the nation, Sheikh Zayed al Nahyan.
Born in 1948 in the Eastern Region of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa was the eldest son of Sheikh Zayed. Prior to his role as president, he was crown prince of Abu Dhabi and headed Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council, which drafts oil policy.
