UAE’s Alarming Pivot: From Normalization to Support for Terrorism in Muslim Nations, Sparking Global Concern
ALGIERS, August 14, 2023- The United Arab Emirates’ recent engagement with the Zionist entity through the process of normalization has sparked a wave of concerns, with accusations of the UAE’s involvement in supporting terrorism in Islamic countries. Amid these accusations, the Emirati “Sky News” channel has come under scrutiny for promoting agendas that diverge from the interests of Arab and Islamic nations.
The Emirati “Sky News” channel’s ongoing campaign against Algeria has raised eyebrows, reflecting the underlying agenda of its president, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and his associates. Their alignment with the path of accommodation for the Zionist entity, evidenced by their spearheading of normalization efforts, has positioned them against any Arab or Islamic nations that advocate for the rights of the Palestinian people. This approach, pursued by Bin Zayed’s administration, has prompted the channel to engage in what can be described as smear tactics aimed at delegitimizing Algeria.
A recent development that intensified the tension between the Emirates and Algeria was the visit of Ahmed Attaf, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad, to the United States. This visit, which carried substantial implications for diplomatic relations, rattled the Bin Zayed administration, leading to a conspicuous response from their media outlet, “Sky News.” The channel’s correspondent, Joe Tabet, seized the opportunity to dissect Attaf’s visit, highlighting a statement from the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The statement conveyed high regard for the historical camaraderie and cooperation between Algeria and the United States, with both nations acknowledging the flourishing exchange of ideas, deepening economic ties, and bright prospects rooted in friendship, trust, and comprehension.
The Emirati leadership’s discomfort was palpable in their response to the statement. The overt mention of the “strong political will” shared between Ahmed Attaf and his American counterpart, Antony Blinken, to elevate the Algerian-American partnership to unprecedented heights struck a chord of unease. This phrase, laden with commitment and ambition, exemplified the momentum behind Algeria’s diplomatic efforts and echoed the solidifying relationships that Bin Zayed’s administration has found itself at odds with. The palpable disquiet of the Emirates in the face of this burgeoning alliance underscores the geopolitical intricacies at play and reveals the depth of the political currents shaping the region.
The meeting served as a pivotal platform for comprehensive discussions on international developments, fostering an exchange of analyses and perspectives. Of particular focus were the complex situations in Niger, Mali, and Libya. During the discussions, both nations underscored the alignment of their positions and shared commitment towards pursuing peaceful resolutions for these crises. This concerted effort aims to shield the region from the perilous ramifications of resorting to military measures. As deliberations unfolded, the multifaceted Palestinian issue was brought to the fore, magnified by the impediments curtailing the prospects of rejuvenating the stagnant political process.
In unity, the two ministers lent their unwavering backing to the tireless endeavors of the United Nations’ Personal Envoy, Staffan de Mistura. A spotlight was also cast on the evolving landscape of the Western Sahara situation, where the call echoed to embolden the conflict parties to engage genuinely, devoid of preconditions, in the diplomatic avenue charted under the United Nations’ guidance.
However, in stark contrast to the official declarations made by the diplomatic leaders of Algeria and America, who eloquently articulated their shared aspiration to cultivate an auspicious path for the Algerian-American partnership, the Emirati Sky News channel propagated an opposing narrative. The channel’s actions manifested a disturbing tendency to manipulate and distort global public opinion, all in service of advancing the agendas of the Zionist entity. In doing so, it laid bare an agenda driven by deceit and misrepresentation to serve the agenda of the Zionist entity.
In his intervention, Joe Tabet made sweeping claims about the intricate political dynamics between two nations, raising eyebrows with his assertions that lacked substantiated evidence. Tabet’ statements appeared to paint a picture of profound political turmoil in the relationship, suggesting a rift between the United States and Algeria while leaving the veracity of his remarks open to question. His insinuation that Washington’s unease with Algeria’s alignment with Russia echoed throughout his discourse, as he endorsed a pro-Ukraine stance while asserting that the Abraham Accords had become a source of misunderstanding between the two countries. His remarks took an even more controversial turn as he implied Algerian parties’ endorsement of armed groups in the Sahel, a claim presented against the backdrop of an ostensibly cordial exchange between Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf and his American counterpart.
In incorporating Algerian journalist Fadila Souici into their narrative, Sky News took a calculated step by utilizing a figure previously embroiled in controversy. Souici’s comment was succinct but weighty, particularly in light of her history with the channel. Having been tasked with contentious assignments in the past, Souici’s involvement in a previous normalization dialogue had led to extensive backlash from her fellow Algerians. This decision by Sky News to feature Souici in their coverage invoked questions of editorial intent, casting a shadow over the channel’s role and motivation. The insinuation of Souici’s involvement in potentially divisive tasks and the subsequent connection drawn between her and a past normalization dialogue served to add layers of complexity to the discourse, inviting scrutiny of the channel’s alignment and agenda.
The landscape further unraveled as the UAE took center stage as a key player in promoting normalization with the Zionist entity. The nation’ strategy of forging ties with the Zionist entity, portrayed by some as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause, stirred controversy and raised ethical questions.
This approach appears to prioritize political expediency over the plight of the Palestinian people, relegating their struggle to a mere “dollar” auction. Astonishingly, while advocating for such normalization, the UAE has concurrently launched attacks on countries that have chosen to align themselves with the Palestinian cause, as exemplified by its actions against Algeria. The UAE’s coordination with foreign entities to establish diplomatic headquarters in the occupied city of El-Ayoun, facilitated by questionable bribes sponsored by Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, reflects a worrying trend of putting pressure on countries supporting Palestine. Even media outlets like Sky News have become entangled in these questionable endeavors, as evidenced by the controversial interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by the Algerian journalist Fadila Souissi.
Many experts believe that the selection of this particular journalist for the interview was far from arbitrary; rather, it was a calculated move aimed at undermining Algeria’ steadfast support for Palestine under the banner of justice and empathy. As a reminder of their principled stance, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has reiterated Algeria’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, echoing their determination to advocate for Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations and confront any efforts to silence their voice.
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune emphatically declared, “Algeria’ steadfast commitment to the full realization of its independence remains resolute, intricately entwined with the fervent pursuit of Palestine’s independence. The unyielding principle driving our nation underscores that our journey to complete sovereignty is intertwined with the liberation of Palestine. We stand unwavering, for the strength of Palestine emanates from its unity – a beacon that illuminates the path to its rightful independence.”
Furthermore, President Tebboune sternly remarked, “Algeria’s pursuit of autonomy came at a profound cost, a testament to our unyielding determination. While colonialism seeks to reemerge veiled in new guises, its aspirations will falter; the resolute awakening of African peoples serves as an impenetrable shield against such endeavors. The past has sculpted our awareness, and together, as a united continent, we shall defy any attempt to reverse the course of progress.”
Unraveling Complex Geopolitics: Exploring Evidence of Emirati Intelligence Involvement in Various Conflict Zones
Delving deeper, these observers posit that the UAE’s involvement has directly contributed to the dire situations in Yemen, Libya, Syria, and the African coast. The evidence of being a vehicle for the Zionist entity’s disruptive ambitions is particularly striking. According to this narrative, the UAE collaborates with the Zionist entity to sow discord and upheaval in targeted Arab and Islamic states, compelling them to accede to concessions that culminate in a controversial normalization with the Zionist entity.
Furthermore, the cooperation between UAE intelligence and Makhzen intelligence in Africa adds another layer of complexity to these accusations. While the UAE and its partners strive to implement their strategies across the African continent, their efforts have encountered staunch resistance from countries like Algeria and South Africa, effectively curbing any significant breakthroughs.
