This morning on UAE X: Emirati Twitter lauded the reelection of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi for a third term in office with the hashtags #السيسي_شعب_مصر_اختاره (The Egyptian people chose El Sisi) and #الانتخابات الرياسيه (presidential elections) trending widely. Emiratis also paid their respects to Qataris for the #اليوم_الوطني_القطري (Qatari National Day). The Pakistani community in the UAE tuned in to former prime minister Imran Khan’s #PTIVirtualJalsa, making the hashtag trend.

Arabic had its moment: Emiratis expressed their pride for their mother tongue, making the hashtags #اليوم_العالمي_للغه_العربيه and #اللغه العربيه trend.
