Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Lieutenant-General Dhahi Khalfan, Deputy Chief of Dubai Police, shed light on a number of countries, some of which witnessed what became known as the “Arab Spring”.
This came in a series of tweets on Khalfan’s official Twitter page, in which he said: “It is unfortunate what we see of demonstrations there … they do not end … the lesson is not wealth … the lesson is the leadership.”
He said, “I was in Sudan one day… I wished that this river would pass through the Emirates… if we had it, we would have achieved food security for the entire Arab world.”
He added: “Libya is very rich…why do its people neglect the welfare of their people in order to fight over chairs?”
He continued, “What is left in Syria? Aleppo, the first city in history, was erased… and others… for what?”
And he continued: “The Iraqis… complained regarding Saddam… and entered into Saddam… for more than twenty years.”
