In a heartfelt gesture that reflects the UAE's respect for its fallen heroes, Ajman announced the naming of several streets after 19 martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the nation.

This initiative comes under the directives of UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and was implemented by Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, through the Municipal and Planning Department.

On November 30, at 11.30am, the country fell silent in honour of the martyrs who gave their lives in service of the country. Flags were lowered nationwide from 8am as the Rulers, citizens and residents paid their homage on Commemoration Day.

The newly named streets will be located near the homes of the martyrs' families, ensuring that their memory remains deeply rooted within the community. This symbolic act serves not only as a tribute to their bravery but also as a source of pride and inspiration for future generations.

The decision reflects the UAE's unwavering commitment to honouring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the security and dignity of the nation. By embedding their names into the fabric of the city, Ajman ensures that their legacy will live on, reminding residents and visitors alike of the values of courage, loyalty, and patriotism.

The Ruler of Ajman stated that Commemoration Day is a profound national occasion that embodies the highest values of sacrifice and devotion. "This day honours men who were true to their duty and met it with honour, rising as martyrs on the fields of dignity and pride in defence of their homeland."

Sheikh Humaid added that the nation's martyrs set a shining example of courage and selflessness, raising the UAE's flag high and proud. Their sacrifices, he noted, laid the foundation for the security and stability the nation enjoys today, and continue to inspire future generations in serving and protecting their country.

He added,“The UAE will remain faithful to its martyrs, preserving their memory and guided by their sacrifices. Their heroism will remain a beacon lighting the way forward and instilling in generations to come the spirit of sacrifice and devotion.”
