sheikh Khalifa
I hope the rumours are not true, but he may have passed away. A very sad for us all.

Re: sheikh Khalifa
Really? Where did you hear that?
Nothing on the wires or anywhere else I can see. |
Re: sheikh Khalifa
Not heard anything but wouldn't be surprised as it wouldn't be the first time the official notice was delayed.
I'm sure that deals are already being cut again though |

Re: sheikh Khalifa
It's not verified and I would hate to say anything that could be construed as disrespectful. There may be others on here who know, which is the reason for the post.
It's all a bit nervewracking. |

Fair comment, but haven't they already agreed succession in AD? It's been common knowledge that he hasn't been well for years and has been handing over various of his jobs/roles.
This ministry for that one etc etc The presidency is less than half of the power if not 10% |

Re: sheikh Khalifa
I also heard this yesterday but.. there is a big Maktoum wedding tonight so maybe that has delayed announcements, they wouldn't want to cancel !

Re: sheikh Khalifa
The mrs has come home saying the same thing.
Hopefully it's not the case and just a sad rumour. |

Me too. But apparently there's a religious day on 20th and apparently that's when etc apparently. Apparently.
I wonder if insurance covers cancellation due to something like national mourning period...? Anyway - I have no knowledge whether true or not - but have to think it's all rumour... |

It's always struck me here that they'll tell you what they want to tell you, when they want to tell you it...which does work both ways. The thing with this is I'd have expected some sort of news to say he's much better and doing well. But then again, that might just be cripplingly naive of me. Either way, hope he's alright. |

He was lead contender when Zayed died and it was a surprise to most that he didn't get the job then. To be fair he is pretty bloody well qualified and experienced not to mention his international connections are about as good as it gets. Heir apparent doesn't come close to it.

And even more coverage over the past few days. Just a matter of time until he takes over. I hear largely positive things about him so that bodes well.
For any other remarks I shall take Francis urquharts line and simply say "I couldn't possibly comment" |
Re: sheikh Khalifa
The word I heard at the weekend was the it’s going to be Ramadan before there will be any change. They’re going to keep Sheikh Khalifa on ice until then and engineer things around a specific, and significant date.

Re: sheikh Khalifa
Also of note, is that technically Dubai could take over the presidency?
That is not off the table. |

Re: sheikh Khalifa
nope but there's enough fire to be sure of a fire now

Re: sheikh Khalifa
Lots of helicopters flying around in my neck of the woods (live near a few palaces). May be nothing but 4 have flown over this morning.

Re: sheikh Khalifa
Would the Crown Prince be in Japan if it was imminent?
