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

Really? Where did you hear that?

Nothing on the wires or anywhere else I can see.

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

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.

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.

Yanni there is always a deal to be cut

This ministry for that one etc etc
The presidency is less than half of the power if not 10%

The missus heard something similar today at work.

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 !

people were texting me about "these rumours" think they wre getting wire crossed with the education guy on that same day... i have heard that he is doing better and recovering well.

yes this was the case the last time....

The mrs has come home saying the same thing.

Hopefully it's not the case and just a sad rumour.

more pan pipe rumours for the weekend

I heard that too... but my locals haven't heard anything..... expat rumours then

Probably

Valentine's Day might get cancelled then. Every cloud...
