In its editorial titled “Continuous Support for Yemen,” Al-Watan newspaper praised Qatar’s ongoing support for Yemen in achieving the aspirations of its people for security, stability and development. This support is based on two parallel paths: the first is Qatar’s full support for mediation efforts to resolve the Yemeni crisis through negotiations among Yemenis, based on the outcomes of the National Dialogue, the Gulf Initiative and relevant UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2216. The second path involves aiding the brotherly Yemeni people and alleviating their humanitarian suffering by providing various forms of assistance.
The newspaper pointed out that in November 2021, Qatar Fund for Development signed an agreement with the World Food Programme to provide a financial contribution of $90 million to help meet urgent food security needs in Yemen. This contribution supported more than 7 million Yemenis. Additionally, Qatar Charity and the International Organization for Migration sign
ed an agreement to provide rapid financial assistance to vulnerable families in Yemen. Furthermore, Silatech and the European Union signed a 10 million agreement to expand the Youth Entrepreneurship and Financial Inclusion project, which aims to promote economic empowerment for more than 40,000 young men and women across various Yemeni provinces, providing a source of income for them and their families.
Al-Watan concluded its editorial by highlighting the meeting of HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, the Chairperson of the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation and UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate, on Tuesday with HE Prime Minister of the sisterly Republic of Yemen Dr. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak.The meeting discussed Silatech’s efforts to economically empower youth in Yemen, as part of Qatar’s ongoing efforts on multiple fronts to support the Yemeni people.
Under the headline “Qatar’s Leadership in Protecting the Core of the Future,” Al-Arab newspaper said in its editorial that Children are the future of every
nation, the pillar of its revival, and the foundation upon which its progress is built. Therefore, protecting them from all dangers is an absolute necessity, no less important than providing various needs such as food, medicine, education and other essentials. This is something that the State of Qatar recognized early on, taking measures to protect children by enacting laws and regulations that strictly punish anyone who seeks to harm them in any way.
Officials and experts gathered at the Third National Forum for Human Rights, which concludes today in Doha, emphasized that Qatar has demonstrated a strong commitment to children’s rights through Qatar National Vision 2030. This vision aims to create a safe environment, provide quality education, and ensure the availability of essential services for children, while addressing all risks related to them. They also stressed the importance of implementing child protection programs in the digital world, ensuring legislative tools to support children, and conducting
social work and campaigns to protect them. Furthermore, they highlighted that Qatar is making significant progress in these areas, the newspaper added.
Al-Arab concluded by reaffirming that Qatar places great emphasis on addressing the threats children face in the digital world and is striving to protect them through the enforcement of laws and regulations. Qatar also provides awareness and guidance content aimed at preventing digital risks. Among these initiatives are the “Cybersecurity Curriculum Project” and the “Cyber Echo” project, which has reached over 140,000 students in more than 200 schools across various age groups through field visits.
English newspaper, The Peninsula, highlighted in its editorial the opening of the Third National Human Rights Forum, which stressed the need to develop a digital system that is more capable of protecting the rights and best interests of children, in a way that keeps pace with the rapid and changing growth in the digital world.
In its editorial titled “Harnessing
AI Ethically”, the newspaper referred to HE Minister of Social Development and Family Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad’s statements.
She said: “Our responsibility today is to develop solutions and mechanisms that enable us to move towards positive paths, in which we enjoy the digitization of life without being exploited by it.” Education plays a key role in mitigation. Teaching children digital literacy, the responsible use of AI, and how to critically evaluate online content can empower them to navigate AI-driven environments safely and responsibly, The Peninsula noted.
Embracing the power of AI and new technologies might be essential for future growth and to drive sustainable and inclusive development, The Peninsula concluded.
