In this video, CS Aden Duale says that he has requested William Ruto to sack 4 of the 8 Kikuyu Cabinet Secretaries. For avoidance of doubt , here is the Somali version.
Sanadkaan, doorashadan, hadda fiiri, golaha wasiirada, sideed (8) waxaa weeye nimankaan dhagaxdhax, Soomali iyo xoola dhaqada iyo kuddi ani kali ah ayaa fadhiya meesha. Waxay iska dhigaan ba wadanka inay leeyahiin. Hadda William Ruto waxaan dhahay nimankaan sideedaan, waa in nus la fiijiya.
This year, the election, look now, in the Cabinet, 8 are stone stone. ( this is a derogatory word for Kikuyus)
The Somali and the pastoralists, it is only me sitting there. They behave as if the country belongs to them only. Now, I have told William Ruto, these 8 men, half of them must be chased.

I flew with @KenyaAirways last week, and it was the WORST EXPERIENCE ever.

1. The plane was parked a gate away from where passengers were called to board. A gate away. So why use that gate then? Heaven alone knows.

And get this - we had to walk on the skybridge, outside the airport building, down the flight of stairs into the tarmac and make our trek to the aeroplane to board the plane… OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT BUILDING, AND it was raining.

Yes, raining!

So all the passengers had to WALK IN THE RAIN to board the plane.

And we then had to wait outside for the passengers ahead of us to board. So, the rest of us WAITED IN THE RAIN.

We eventually boarded, drenched!

Absolutely crazy.

2. The staff at the boarding gate were chewing gum, talking amongst themselves, and treating passengers as if they were doing us a favour.

Gum.
Loud laughing.
Rolling eyes and demanding clients.
Kuningi nje.

3. My bag was badly damaged — really badly. While the bag is expensive (no need to get into the cost or the brand), they say I should have the bag delivered to them so they can take it to “their assessor” to decide whether to replace or repair it.

By the way, the bag is so badly damaged that it can't be fixed.

I fly… A lot.

I have already boarded over 40 flights this year. Last year, I travelled to over 20 countries.
I live in airports & airlines.

I regularly have unpleasant experiences on commercial flights.

I am not a sissy. I don’t complain. You take the good with the bad.

But I can tell you this for free: this KQ experience was horrendous.

It would have been more pleasant to pour Tabasco sauce into my naked eye & then blindly stir into a lunar eclipse.

Anyway, back to your regular scheduled program.

SPEECH BY DR. SULTAN AL JABER, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC, Executive Chairman of XRG, at the Middle East Institute MEI

SPEECH BY DR. SULTAN AL JABER AT MEI, WEDNESDAY, 25 MARCH 2026

Thank you, Marjorie, for that very kind introduction. You made me sound like someone I would like to meet.
General Abizaid, Ambassador Jones, distinguished guests, partners and friends.

Allow me to begin by congratulating the entire MEI family on your 80th anniversary. Eight decades of building bridges between the Middle East and the United States. Eight decades of dialogue. Eight decades of deepening trust. That is a legacy worth recognizing.

Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, friends. I will not stand here and pretend this is a normal evening, because it’s not.

On February 28, my country, the United Arab Emirates, came under attack. An illegal, unprovoked, unjustified, terrorist attack. Over two thousand two hundred missiles and drones, that is over 60 per cent of everything that has been launched at the Gulf, aimed at our cities, our ports, our people.

We did not seek this conflict. We worked hard to prevent it. But when it came, we were ready. Our defences held. Our people stood firm. Our country kept running.

And my President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, said it plainly: "The UAE is no easy prey, and we will emerge stronger than before." And I can tell you, that is exactly what is going to happen.
I stand before you tonight as a proud son of my nation. A nation that did not flinch. A nation that did not freeze. A nation that stayed focused on progress, even as it defended itself from attack.

And I am proud to be here. In Washington. Because even in a time of conflict, the UAE does not retreat from the world. We step up. We show up and we continue to build bridges.

Iran wanted to export fear. Instead, they exported clarity. And it gave us the opportunity to show the world who we really are.

Excellencies, awards are interesting things. Usually, they have one name on them. But they never belong to just one person.

They are the sum of all those who helped shape you, guided you and believed in you.

So I accept this recognition with deep gratitude and great humility.

Yet, I honestly cannot accept it for myself alone.
Everything I know about leadership, I learned from one person. His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. His vision has shaped every chapter of my journey. And I mean every chapter.

His Highness doesn't talk about leadership. He embodies it.

Performing under pressure. Delivering stability when it matters most. Protecting all people from harm — citizens, residents and visitors alike. And ensuring the nation keeps moving forward, no matter what.
And here is what I find remarkable: That leadership did not stay at the top. It moved through an entire nation.
We see it in our armed forces and civil defence, who are keeping the country protected and safe under sustained attack.

In nurses who stay at their posts while missiles and drones fly overhead.

In engineers who keep the lights on when it would have been easy to stop.

No one ordered them to be brave. They simply were.
Excellencies, the last few weeks have reminded us of a fundamental truth: Energy security is not a slogan. It is the difference between lights on and lights off.

And that difference runs through one narrow waterway. The Strait of Hormuz.

Nearly a fifth of the world's oil. A third of its fertilizer. And vast flows of the raw materials that keep the global economy running, all passing through a single chokepoint.

When Hormuz is open, the world barely thinks about it. When it is threatened, every economy on earth feels it.
Slower growth. Higher prices. And the most vulnerable pay first.

So let me repeat what I said on Monday, because it bears repeating: Weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz is not an act of aggression against one nation. It is economic terrorism against every nation, every consumer, every family that depends on affordable energy and food.

When Iran holds Hormuz hostage, every nation pays the ransom, at the gas pump, at the grocery store, at the pharmacy.

No country can be allowed to destabilize the global economy in this way. Not now. Not ever.

And I genuinely struggle to understand why the world tolerates what can only be defined as extortion on a global scale

Colleagues, you learn who your real partners are when the pressure rises. Not in what they say, but in what they do and how they show up.

And nowhere is that clearer than in the relationship between the UAE and the United States.

Across security, trade, investment, technology, energy, healthcare, education and more…our partnership is not one of convenience. It is a partnership of conviction. Tested in peacetime. Proven under fire.
And partnerships like this matter now more than ever, because our region stands at a crossroads.

Two futures are competing for the Middle East.
One exports instability. The other builds industry.
One invests in proxies. The other invests in progress.

One seeks to build bombs, the other seeks to build bridges.

The UAE made its choice a long time ago. We chose openness over isolation, dialogue over discord, commerce over conflict.

I said a moment ago that you learn who your real partners are when the pressure rises. The same is true for nations.

Pressure does not build character. It reveals it.
So, if you allow me a moment, I would like to convey this message to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed.
Your Highness, over the past weeks, in conversations with UAE visitors and residents, and with leaders, investors, and partners from around the world, including here in Washington, one message has been consistent:

The world now knows exactly what the UAE exemplifies:
Wisdom. Integrity. Dignity. Resilience. And Compassion.

This is your vision brought to life. This is your leadership in action. This is what the world witnessed, when it mattered most. And this is the consistency of character that defines the UAE.

So tonight, I accept the Middle East Institute’s distinguished leadership award on behalf of a nation that builds. A nation that partners. And a nation that steps up and shows up when it matters most.
In closing, allow me to thank my family, my anchor for always being there for me.

I also want to acknowledge the many partners, mentors, colleagues and friends in this room tonight.
Some of you have been with me since the beginning. Some of you joined along the way.

All of you have shaped whatever success I have had.
From the bottom of my heart: I thank you. I will treasure this. But more than that, I will treasure the relationships that made it possible. Thank you.

Conflict and hunger are exploding in South Sudan. 1.2M people have already been displaced and the fighting shows no signs of stopping.

@WFP is doing whatever it takes to deliver life-saving food to those most in need—but aid workers must be protected and safe access guaranteed.
