A Tweet about not forgetting the city’s roots and the rulers who helped it become what it is today
٥٠ عاما ليست شيئا في عمر الدول .. لكن مع زايد كل عام كان خمسين في العمل والانجاز .. رحم الله زايد وراشد .. يستذكر الوطن اليوم هذه الذكرى كي لا ننسى البدايات .. ولا ننسى صفاء النيات .. وكي نبقى مدركين أننا من الصحراء بدأنا وإلى الفضاء وصلنا .. ولسعادة شعبنا ورخائه عملنا .. pic.twitter.com/BZzTpb6T2l

Translation:
“50 years is not something in the age of a country…but with Zayed, every year was 50 years in work and achievement…may Zayed and Rashed rest in peace…today will remind the homeland of this anniversary so as not to forget the beginnings…and not to forget the good intentions…and to stay aware that we started from the desert and to space we reached…and to the happiness of our people and our prosperity.”
