(Hadalsame) 25 June 2020<\/strong><\/span> – Asecurity official from the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), who recently spoke to London-based The New Arab newspaper, stated that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) supported the PKK terrorist group in northern Iraq by means of financial aid over the past few months.<\/p>\n In fact, it seems that this is neither the first nor the last time the UAE will help a terrorist organization. It is evident that the Emirati government believes the path to becoming a significant power in the Middle East and the Arab world is achieved by targeting countries for which it nurtures enmity or by providing financial aid and arms support to illegal and bloodthirsty forces in developing nations.<\/p>\n The UAE, which has been feeding the civil war in Yemen against the Iran-influenced Houthis for the past five years, supports figures and regimes it is able to influence monetarily and which sabotage the democratic preferences and processes of countries from Syria to Iraq and from Libya to Egypt, by using a wide scale of asymmetrical methods.<\/p>\n The political and economic support the UAE has provided to the coup process of current Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in overthrowing the country’s first and only democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi, is a testament to its anti-democratic tendencies.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the UAE, which believes itself to be a force to be reckoned with in the Middle East, can be a lifeline for terrorist groups against which countries such as Turkey and Qatar, nations the UAE sees as enemies, must fight. Emails by UAE Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba to the U.S. reveal that the UAE financed the G\u00fclenist Terror Group (FET\u00d6) in their 2016 coup attempt against Turkey.<\/p>\n Further, David Hearst of the Middle East Eye wrote that the owner of Al Ghad TV, Muhammed Dahlan, who has special financial and political ties with the UAE, transferred money to FET\u00d6 for the attempted coup.<\/p>\n Through the arrest of two UAE spies, Samir Semih Shaban and Zaki Y.M. Hasan by the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) in April 2019, it has been revealed that the Emirates has a spy network operating throughout the region and in Turkey. There are also significant findings that indicate this agent network is linked to the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The UAE\u2019s dark media network and financial connections also target other news outlets. According to special research by Reuters in 2019, a\u00a0group of American hackers who once worked for U.S. intelligence agencies helped the Emirates spy on a BBC host, the chairman of Al Jazeera, and other prominent Arab media figures in 2017.<\/p>\n
