'The UnitedArabEmirates are playing with fire and, more importantly, flouting international law...' writes SBoussois.
Doctor in political science, specialist in Euro-Arab relations, with the Cecid , author of"United Arab Emirates, conquering the world" .As the next host of COP28, scheduled for the end of 2023, the United Arab Emirates has become a mecca of international sanctions evasion, and both Russians and Syrians are taking advantage.
From November 30 to December 12, 2023, the United Arab Emirates Confederation will host COP28. Not only is Dubai, which is considered a major regional polluter, clearing its name in this field, but since the start of the offensive launched by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine and the imposition of international sanctions against Moscow, it has been engaging in a true “recycling” of Russian oligarchs.One might imagine that everything in Dubai is rosy and green.
On the Emirati-Russian front, everything seems to be going smoothly: for a year, hundreds of Russian companies have been created bypassing Western sanctions.And Dubai never refuses to shake an extended hand, especially when it is filled with dollars. To such an extent that in the UAE there is no law on financial transparency and all capital is welcome.
Dubai has become the global hub of the art of evading international sanctions, which Russia and Syria are shamelessly taking advantage of.one of the EU’s privileged economic partners in terms of armament and counterterrorism. Supposedly willing to help Europeans fight political Islam, the Emiratis continue to make them believe that they are the best model of development in the region, the Switzerland of the Middle East!Also receive offers from The Africa Report
