“power struggle”
During the past months, there has been much speculation regarding the possibility of appointing Sheikh Khaled as Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, especially in light of his prominent appearance in many political meetings.
Although his appointment was expected, many considered that the recent decisions strengthen the centralization of power in Abu Dhabi, and that they reflect a trend in most Gulf countries towards giving priority to sons over brothers in the matter of succession.
Therefore, some criticized Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed’s appointment of his eldest son as crown prince in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, describing it as “exclusion” of his brothers, while others warned that this step portends that “the Gulf will destroy itself with greed and power struggles.”
An “old diplomat” account said in a tweet: “Mohamed bin Zayed decides it for his son, Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed, and removes his brothers from power.”
