CONDOLENCES FOR THE DEATH OF SAEED BIN AHMED AL OTAIBA
|
29 May 2024
One of the last links to the old world in Abu Dhabi, before the transformation brought about by oil and gas, was severed with the passing of Saeed bin Ahmed Al Otaiba.
He is believed to have been born around 1916, at a time before birth certificates, and only seven years after the death of Sheikh Zayed the First, who had ruled Abu Dhabi since 1855. During his lifetime he saw seven rulers of Abu Dhabi and every aspect of life in the emirate and the UAE transformed.
The world he was born into had remained largely unchanged for centuries, where wealth and influence centred on the Arabian Gulf pearl trade.
The Otaiba family was one of the leading pearl traders in Abu Dhabi: by the 19th century, Khalid bin Abdullah had created a fleet of over 80 ships and earned the unofficial title of "pearl king".
Al Otaiba would also make his contribution over more than a century of life and work. Born in Al Dhahr, Abu Dhabi, his schooling included reading, writing, learning and reciting the Koran.
He began working as a pearl merchant, later expanding to other commodities when the pearl industry declined in the 1930s due to the arrival of Japanese artificial pearls.
After the formation of the UAE in 1971, he worked to establish Sheikh Zayed's economic vision for the country, becoming president of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Industry and Commerce and president-elect of the Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, also remembered the pioneer, the ‘living memory of the capital’, in a statement published in X.
According to the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed, a street, named Saeed Bin Ahmed Al Otaiba Street, was named after him.

LEGALITY DAY IN MEMORY OF GIOVANNI FALCONE

23 May 2024
With these words by Giovanni Falcone, Secretary-General Michele Capasso and Senator Giuseppe Lumia opened a day of commemoration and commitment that saw the United States of the World headquarters and the Museum of Peace take centre stage with the participation of many young people.
"1992, said Lumia, was the bloodiest year of the Mafia offensive against State institutions. The Mafia killed Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the two magistrates most active in the fight against Cosa Nostra. In the Capaci massacre, which took place exactly 32 years ago, Falcone was killed along with his wife, Francesca Morvillo, and the three men of his escort, Rocco Di Cillo, Vito Schifani, and Antonio Montinaro; in the Via D'Amelio massacre in Palermo, Borsellino and the five men of his escort, Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, and Claudio Traina, lost their lives".

Mrs. Antonia Salzano Acutis recalled on that occasion the importance of the "United States of the World", which brings together 181 countries and more than 16,000 civil society organisations united to save the Earth and ensure Peace.
"The nomination to the memory of Carlo Acutis," we said on that occasion, "constitutes an important step in the path of Love and Peace undertaken for 35 years.
Mother Antonia on that occasion, donated a relic of her son to the Peace Museum, which is even more precious to us all today.
