Ch. Munir (ab)used his sources to the fullest (Sehbai has correct info) to get some sort of facilitation from UAE Govt., he has not only connections with Maktoum family but Nahayan family as well, in fact he had "special friendship" with Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan - had he been alive, N$ could have pulled a fast one through Ch Munir for sure.
2nd Gen Nahayan (Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan) have very little interest in our region's politics/business except for ADG (Abu Dhabi Group's investments).
Tomorrow will be an interesting day, as in the light of flimsy and frivolous objections of N$ could come up for discussion as well. They are as absurd as 6 year old kid playing on PS4 all night, forgetting to do his homework and next morning tells the teacher "we didn't have light at our house - all night, so couldn't do the homework" - well......actually even this kid's excuse is more plausible than Kh. Haris' ones!
