The UAE consists of the emirates of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain. Before independence in 1971, the Emirates were known as the “Treaty Coast” or “Treaty States” because of the protectorate treaties that local rulers signed with the United Kingdom in the 19th century. The current political system is based on the 1971 constitution (the seventh emirate of Ras al-Khaimah was added in 1972). The state religion is Islam and Sharia is the main source of legislation. Arabic is the country's official language, but English is also widely spoken.

The International Monetary Fund classifies the UAE as a “high income developing economy”. The country is a founding member of the Gulf Cooperation Council and a member state of the Arab League, the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, OPEC and the World Trade Organization.

The UAE has around 10 million inhabitants, but only around 10 percent of them are nationals. The majority of the population are migrant workers; this is the second highest rate of migrant workers in the world after Qatar. Due to labor migration, 40 percent of all UAE residents come from India (28 percent) and Pakistan (12 percent) alone. Because migrants are predominantly men, the UAE also has the world's second-highest proportion of men in the total population.

The UAE is governed by authoritarian rule. Freedom of expression is severely restricted and serious human rights violations occur regularly in the United Arab Emirates, especially against women and migrant workers.

Bosna i Hercegovina - Pjevamo Zajedno

Bosnia is a southeastern European federal state. Geographically, it consists of the Bosnia region in the north - which occupies around 80 percent of the national territory - and the smaller Herzegovina region in the south. The federal state's political areas are the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republika Srpska and the Brčko District as a special administrative region. The state's capital and largest city is Sarajevo; other major cities are Banja Luka, Tuzla, Zenica, Bijeljina and Mostar.

The state in its current form emerged from the Dayton Agreement (1995) and, according to this, is the legal successor to the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was founded immediately after a referendum at the beginning of 1992 and was the only internationally recognized of a total of four state entities on the island during the Bosnian War territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Today Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of the two entities Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (populated mostly by Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats) and Republika Srpska (populated mostly by Bosnian Serbs). The Brčko special administrative region was subsequently created from parts of the pre-war Brčko municipality belonging to both entities and today functions as a condominium for both entities, but manages itself independently.

افغانستان (Afġānistān) - موږ په لاره یو (Mog Paa Lara Yo)

Afghanistan is a landlocked country at the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, bordering Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, the People's Republic of China, and Pakistan. Three-quarters of the country consists of inaccessible mountainous regions.

After the Soviet invasion in 1979, the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan supported and financed mujahideen against the Soviet-backed government. After the Soviet withdrawal and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the mujahideen defeated this government in 1992. However, the division of power failed due to rivalries; the fundamentalist Islamic Taliban militias came to power in 1997 and rigorously enforced a radical interpretation of Islam, particularly Sharia law. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in the United States, the Taliban regime, which had sheltered members of terrorist organizations, was overthrown in the War on Terror, which was largely led by the United States. Since then, this war, which was also waged in Afghanistan, has dominated events for a long time. The country established itself as a democratic, Islamic republic through the 2004 constitution during the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), but was ruled authoritarian throughout its existence. Following the withdrawal of international troops at the end of August 2021, the Taliban quickly regained control of the country and proclaimed the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. There, the Taliban rule in a totalitarian manner and commit even more massive human rights violations. Among them, there are many arbitrary arrests, torture, and killings. Women are oppressed, and freedom of expression is severely restricted. Afghanistan has ranked by far last in the global Democracy Index every year since 2021.

The country has been shaped by more than four decades of civil war. The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is considered catastrophic. Many people in Afghanistan live in extreme poverty and suffer from hunger.

República de Honduras - Al Estilo Catracho

Honduras is a country in Central America. Honduras borders Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The state name is derived from the Spanish word hondura, which means depth.

In 1821, the provincial oligarchy joined the uprising of the other Central American provinces against the Spanish crown. After only two years of being part of the Mexican Empire, they became independent within the confederation of the "United Provinces of Central America" (Central American Confederation). One of its leading figures, Francisco Morazán (1792–1842), revered as the "Central American Bolívar," came from Honduras. But even he could not prevent the breakaway of his home province and the collapse of the confederation in 1839. From the very beginning of "freedom," several factions of the oligarchy fought for power.

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
