UNITED ARAB EMIRATES DESIGNATES MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AS TERRORIST GROUP
THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES HAS FORMALLY DESIGNATED THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND LOCAL AFFILIATES AS TERRORIST GROUPS, STATE NEWS AGENCY WAM REPORTED ON SATURDAY CITING A CABINET DECREE
The Gulf Arab state has also designated Nusra Front and the Islamic State, whose fighters are battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as terrorist organizations, along with other Shi’ite militant groups such as the Houthi movement in Yemen.
Saturday’s move echoes a similar move by Saudi Arabia in March and could increase pressure on Qatar whose backing for the group has sparked a row with fellow Gulf monarchies.
It also underscores concern in the U.S.-allied oil producer about political Islam and the influence of the Brotherhood, whose Sunni Islamist doctrines challenge the principle of dynastic rule.
The UAE has designated al-Islah group, which is a local Islamist group banned in the UAE for its alleged link to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, as a terrorist group.
