What's behind Mohammed Bin Zayed's war against religiously inspired opposition groups like the Muslim Brotherhood?
During the last decade, the UAE under the command of Abu Dhabi’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, has emerged as one of the most politically aggressive and ambitious countries in the Middle East.
In Yemen, while ostensibly fighting Houthi rebels to reinstate the government of President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the UAE is alsoinvolved in a clandestine campaign of assassinations targeting members of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated Islah party. Its official list of terrorist organisations includes charities and civil society groups, which reject ties to the Muslim Brotherhood but are nevertheless accused by the Emiratis of having links to the group.
“He used to work intensively with military and intelligence officers from Egypt in his time in the security sector who have imported the Islamist phobia to the UAE,” he told TRT World. The crown prince warned an American diplomat that if a free election were held in Dubai, “the Muslim Brotherhood will take over”.
Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan is said to be paranoid of the extent of Muslim Brotherhood influence within the UAE The crown prince’s fears appear to have been exacerbated after the Arab uprisings of 2011, in which a handful of autocrats were overthrown, and the Muslim Brotherhood emerged as a key political force, with resounding victories in Egypt’s parliamentary and presidential elections.
