While in Cairo, the oppressed and the rebels to Mubarak Palace doors shake and pour into the capital of Yemen, the streets and squares with protesters and distributed in other Arab countries, militant slogans on the Internet, life goes on as usual in Abu Dhabi road. No bubbles, no cooking, nothing that would indicate imminent turmoil. It is also part of the Emirates Arabian Network, which extends from the western edge of Morocco to Oman.
However, with different conditions, not only relates to what the mixing of the population but also in relation to the form of government and the acceptance of the governing authorities.
As mentioned earlier, are only one fifth of the Indigenous population. Many of them have decent schools and visited a few years studying abroad. The locals it is usually very good, they benefit in many areas by a generous support of the state. For example, their water and electricity for 86 percent of the actual costs to be adopted (fairness, I must add here that pay only half of expats). When an Emirati Emirati marries a woman, the couple receives from the government around € 150,000 and a land with house.
well keep the enthusiasm for the current President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan in check, but his father Zayed, the Emirates had conducted over 30 years, was loved by the people, as if he were your own father.
It will be interesting to know how the Arab revolution recorded these days and weeks, the Emirati life spirit. For among the expatriates are not only Europeans, Asians, Australians, North and South Americans. The majority of Arab immigrants are from the Maghreb and Egypt. The local police force is riddled with Moroccans. And Egyptians are found in various positions and at different hierarchical levels, bank managers, pilots, lawyers as well as security staff or taxi driver. The processes they employ in their own country these days. They worry about friends and family. To Have and Good. With their fears, the hopes of overwhelming economic and political freedom and justice. Driven by a dream that has been consolidated over the decades in their souls.
The desperate self-immolation of the Tunisian greengrocer has long since expanded into an Arab conflagration. We all are witnesses to a self-liberation, like the one in the world not seen since the Wall fell in 1989. And it seems to me as I sat, with blurred sight, in a glass house in the middle.
