BMI: United Arab Emirates Defence and Security Report (Feb-12)

2012-03-20 16:13:00 (читать в оригинале)

Having navigated its way through the turmoil of the Arab Spring with less difficulty than perhaps any other Arab government, the main concern for the leaders of the United Arab Emirates in 2012 will be the threat of instability resulting from conflict between Iran and the US and/or Israel. Internally, the UAE was not entirely untroubled by regional events in 2011. However, small-scale online protests failed to inspire wider demonstrations, and the imprisonment of several online activists in November 2011 similarly provoked little public reaction. Elections in September 2011 ? only the second in the UAE?s history ? arguably demonstrated that the UAE is gradually inching its way towards greater democracy, for all that the poll concerned elections for the ineffectual Federal National Council and was open to relatively few voters.In the end, though, the events of the Arab Spring may have been most significant from the UAE?s perspective in terms of the Emirates? intervention in Libya, where UAE fighter aircraft contributed to the UN no-fly zone. The UAE began to reap the rewards of its anti-Qadhafi stance in January 2012 when the new Libyan government signed a wide-ranging bilateral agreement with the UAE that will cover trade, security and other areas of mutual interest.In BMI?s view, therefore, the outlook for the UAE is stable, barring shocks to the economy or to its external security. In 2012, Iran appears to represent the greatest threat to the UAE on both fronts, with senior UAE officials publicly stating that an Iran conflict, and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz ? which Tehran has threatened ? might create serious problems for the country. However, the government has been examining a contingency plan of exporting the UAE?s oil through ports in the Gulf of Oman, thus bypassing any Iranian blockade. It has also been noted that, though the UAE is already near full production capacity, sanctions against Iranian oil exports could actually help the U
