It is indeed heartbreaking news, but this development comes after it was announced on July 22, Saturday by the Presidential Court that Sheikh Saeed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was suffering from a health problem. Talking about this magnanimous figure, he was born in 1965 in Al Ain and was appointed as a representative of the Ruler of Abu Dhabi in the June of 2010. Besides being the representative of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, he was also appointed as the Under Secretary of the Department of Planning in Abu Dhabi. One must also keep in mind that he was a former member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council (ADEC), and also held the position of Chairman of the Maritime Port Authority.

With the royal family going through such a hard time, we really do hope that they have the strength to overcome this grief.
