Mariam Al Nuaimi

Mariam Al Nuaimi is the byline of UAE Current's policy and public affairs desk. The desk covers federal and emirate-level decisions, residency and visa procedures, labour updates, education policy and the public services people use every day.

Its method is a careful reading of the official document first, then a plain explanation of what it changes. The desk separates a confirmed rule from a proposal, a consultation or a media report, and says which stage a decision has reached: announced, approved, published in the Official Gazette or in force.

Fact checks of widely shared government claims also sit with this desk. When a viral post about a new fine or visa rule does not match the authority's own notice, the article says so and links the notice.
