MBZ, la face cachee des Emirats arabes

As discreet as he is ambitious, Mohammed Ben Zayed - known as MBZ - is the new strong man of the Persian Gulf. At the head of the United Arab Emirates, he is at the heart of all the conflicts that are shaking the region: the coup in Egypt, war in Yemen, counter-revolution in Sudan. Thanks to the unlimited financial power offered by its hydrocarbon resources, the palace of MBZ is the new center of gravity of the Middle East. Its latest geopolitical coup was the recognition of Israel, which gives it access to advanced military technologies to better fight against Iranian influence in the region and monitor its opponents.
