Current affairs
UAE's successful Federation, a lesson for Yemen
By Moneer Al-Mawri

The current regime in Yemen tries to get closer to the Gulf States via imitating the negative aspects of those regimes in terms of bequeathing power to the sons and distributing wealth and resources to particular families and groups, but at the same time depriving the absolute majority of Yemeni citizens of benefiting from the natural resources in their homeland. These imitators don’t understand that the ruling dynasties in the Gulf did not once bear any malice against their peoples. Instead, they expend hard efforts for the sake of their peoples’ happiness and prosperity.

These dynasties, which we describe in Yemen as ‘nomadic’ managed to exploit returns from oil and other natural resources in favor of their peoples by establishing giant projects and providing all the basic services such as electricity, road networks, health and education. Except for Saudi Arabia, all the Gulf states are competing with the world’s superpowers in the sense of reached achievements and services offered for their people.
