🛢️ Gulf Power Struggle: The Cold War of Three Princes – Documentary Geopolitical – AT
Three princes. Unlimited oil wealth. One explosive rivalry that reshaped the Middle East.
Between 2013 and 2015, three princes took the helm of the Gulf’s main oil monarchies: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. This new generation of rulers, among the richest and most powerful on the planet, imposed a new style of governance, a blend of violence, repression of all opposition, and a war of egos.
The first to come to power, the Emir of Qatar, Tamim al-Thani, 39, built his soft power on sports, controlling BeIN, the world’s leading sports broadcasting network, which secured him the hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, sparking envy among his neighbors. To consolidate his influence, he also controls Al Jazeera, whose role is considerable in this part of the world.
His neighbors accuse him of supporting Islamist groups and being too close to Iran… Facing him is Mohammed bin Salman, 33, known as MBS, the ambitious Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, who has led his country into a deadly war in Yemen.
