How the Internet of things is changing the world

The internet of things solutions (IoT) portrays the network of physical objects—“gears”—that are implanted with sensory systems, software, and additional equipment for the function of linking and swapping data with further devices and structures over the internet. These machines range from commonplace domestic things to hi-tech engineering gears.

At the present time, voluminous companies from dissimilar divisions are accepting this technology to make things easier, develop, mechanize and manage different procedures. Following, we exhibit some of the astonishing real-world uses of the internet of thinking:

1. Wearables

Virtual spectacles, health bands to observe for instance calorie spending and heartbeats, or GPS tracing belts, are just some instances of the internet of things company’s devices that we have been expanding for some period this day and age. Businesses for example Google, Apple, Samsung and others have established and familiarized the internet of things companies in Abu Dhabi.

US-China Rivalry: Gulf States Struggle to Hedge Their Bets

by James M. Dorsey

An initial version of this story was first published in Inside Arabia

A podcast version of this story is available on Soundcloud, Itunes, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, Spreaker, Pocket Casts, Tumblr, Podbean, Audecibel, Patreon and Castbox.

The Trump administration’s quest to curb relationships between its allies in the Middle East and China offers a preview of how big power rivalry in the region is likely to unfold. It also suggests the limits on the United States’ ability to reduce its commitment to regional security.

While much of the focus in recent weeks has been on Israel’s relations with China, the real litmus test of the United States’ ability to counter the People’s Republic’s growing footprint in the Middle East is likely to be in the Gulf.

In talks last month with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Israeli leaders made clear that while wanting to maintain close relations with China they would not risk jeopardizing their long-standing ties to the United States, their closest ally and supporter of their controversial annexationist policies.

Within days of Mr. Pompeo’s visit, Israel awarded a tender for the world’s largest desalination plant to an Israeli company rather than a competing Chinese firm.

Similarly, Israeli officials say that Israel is unlikely to buy Chinese telecommunication giant Huawei’s 5G offering because of security considerations of its own. The US has been campaigning against integration of Huawei components into networks of its allies.

The real Israeli test may come next year when China takes over the management of Haifa port that is often frequented by ships of the US Sixth Fleet. US officials have suggested that Chinese control of the port could impact the US Navy’s willingness to use Haifa’s facilities.

In contrast to Israel, the US is likely to find the going tougher in persuading Gulf states to limit their engagement with China, including with Huawei, which already has significant operations in the region.

Like Israel, United Arab Emirates officials have sought to convey to the US that they see relations with the United States as indispensable even though that has yet to be put to a test when it comes to China.

“The United States is our single most important strategic partnership. Sometimes people, when they think of our relationship with the US, they just look at the political/military angle. But this relationship is really much, much wider,” said UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash.  Such a relationship, he added, is to be found in “IT, in business, investment, in soft power, in the presence of institutions such as NYU Abu Dhabi, in people like me who spent some of the best years of their lives in America.”

Mr. Gargash was speaking after Mr. Pompeo’s visit to Israel and after a senior official issued a direct warning to Gulf states.

“These states have to weigh the value of their partnership with the United States. We want our partner nations to do due diligence,” said US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David Schenker.

Describing Chinese aid as “predatory,” Mr. Schenker warned that Huawei’s participation in 5G infrastructure in the Gulf would make it difficult for American and Gulf forces to communicate. Huawei has signed agreements with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.

“We’re not forcing countries to choose between the United States and the PRC,” Mr. Schenker said, referring to the People’s Republic of China. “Countries can and should maintain healthy relationships with both, but we want to highlight the costs” that come with certain engagements with China.

Earlier, an unidentified senior US official warned that Gulf states “risk rupturing the long-term strategic relationship they have with the US.”

The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet operates out of Bahrain while Qatar hosts the forward headquarters of the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM).

In a message to Israel that was also intended for the Gulf, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman laid out US concerns.

“For two countries as close to each other as Israel and the US, when they cooperate and exchange intelligence and other secrets for their mutual protection on such a robust level, both countries need to be really careful about exposing that level of cooperation to a foreign power that may have a different agenda,” he said.

Mr. Friedman asserted that China uses investments and infrastructure projects to “infiltrate” countries. “These [Chinese] companies have the ability to flick various switches and gain access to the most sensitive communications.”

The US Embassy in Abu Dhabi, in a shot across the Gulf’s bow, last month rejected a UAE offer to donate hundreds of coronavirus tests for screening of its staff.

The snub was designed to put a dent in China’s health silk road diplomacy centered on its experience with the pandemic and ability to manufacture personal protective and medical equipment.

A US official said the tests were rejected because they were either Chinese-made or involved BGI, a Chinese genomics company active in the Gulf, which raised concerns about patient privacy.

The US softened the blow when the prestigious Ohio-based Cleveland Clinic sent 40 nurses and doctor to its Abu Dhabi subsidiary. The Abu Dhabi facility was tasked with treating the UAE’s most severe cases of coronavirus.

The seemingly escalating US effort to box in China is hampered by the fact that no US company produces a 5G alternative. “5G is the future. To reconsider Huawei, the US has to offer an alternative. So far, it hasn’t done so,” said a Gulf official.

The same dilemma applies to the United States’ desire to reduce its commitments in the Middle East. In its global rivalry with China, the US cannot afford to create the kind of void that China and Russia would not be able or willing to fill in the short-term.

“It’s a toss-up,” a Gulf analyst said. “The US can’t compete on 5G and China and Russia can’t compete on security. This is a situation and a set of relationships that requires careful management. The problem is that big power leaders show little inclination to find a middle ground. That leaves Gulf states grappling for ways to hedge their bets.”

Dr. James M. Dorsey is an award-winning journalist and a senior fellow at Nanyang Technological University’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore. He is also an adjunct senior research fellow at the National University of Singapore’s Middle East Institute and co-director of the University of Wuerzburg’s Institute of Fan Culture in Germany.

NMC Health placed under UK court supervision

All of NMC Health’s operations might be supervised by Uk court appointees. Picture Credit score: DailyKhaleej Archive

Dubai: Abu Dhabi primarily based NMC Health has been placed under the UK court’s supervision. The court will now appoint directors to supervise the entire administration and operations of the UAE’s largest healthcare operator.

The present Board of Administrators of NMC “cease to have decision-making powers with immediate effect”. These powers switch to the Directors who’re liable for the day-to-day operating of NMC.

However “all hospitals, medical centres, care facilities and other operations in the group are not subject to the administration procedure – so their current activities will not change,” an announcement issued Thursday confirmed. 

A court within the UK got here into the image as a result of NMC Health is listed on London Inventory Trade, and thus certain by UK guidelines governing public firms. It listed on the LSE in 2012.

This follows an attraction filed by ADCB with the UK court for “joint administration” of NMC Health, after it was discovered that the hospital operator had $6.6 billion in financial institution debt and was in no place to pay it off.

UAE banks mixed have exposures of Dh10 billion plus, with ADCB having the best at Dh3.6 billion.

In an announcement after the UK court dominated in favour, ADCB issued an announcement: “ADCB and different key collectors have concluded that an administration course of is probably the most appropriate route to make sure a rescue and turnaround of NMC Health PLC and its subsidiaries.

“And to guarantee continuity of operations for sufferers, healthcare staff and different stakeholders. An administration is a course of designed for a speedy enterprise restoration and is subsequently distinct from liquidation.

“The true picture of the financial difficulties faced by NMC only became apparent through a series of announcements by the Company since February 2020, including the uncovering of over $4 billion of previously undisclosed debts,” ADCB stated in an announcement instantly after the UK court order.

“Contrary to the information the Group provided to ADCB and in breach of the various loan covenants and commitments, following these revelations, the Bank learned that it was among over 80 major regional and international financial institutions that extended credit to the Group.”

Not on, however…

This place was contested by Faisal Belhoul, who had taken over as Govt Chairman, lower than two weeks in the past at NMC Health. He had stated repeatedly these previous few days that an organization getting placed under administration would result in worth destruction.

However with new revelation of NMC’s general perilous debt place. There have been few takers among the many banks to take up Belhoul’s place.

Even then, efforts had been on till Wednesday to try to get ADCB to alter its thoughts on joint administration. However late on Wednesday, Belhoul threw within the towel, stating that with no deal possible with ADCB, being placed under administration was the one choice.

Faisal Belhoul, solely lately confirmed as Govt Chairman, was keen to do no matter it takes to show round NMC. However having the corporate under administration was not one thing he needed. Belhoul will nonetheless have a decisive function to play, along with his 9% stake. Picture Credit score: DailyKhaleej Archive

Enter the Administrator

Who would be the NMC directors?

The UK court has appointed personnel from turnaround advisory agency Alvarez & Marsal to take “immediate control”. The agency will work on behalf of all stakeholders.

“Their priority is to ensure stability and the continuation of uninterrupted healthcare services at the Group’s medical facilities,” ADCB stated in an announcement. “The joint administrators are also tasked with implementing robust governance, conducting a full, transparent investigation into suspected previous irregular financial activity and taking adequate steps to initiate the recovery of any missing assets and funds.”

No extra of the affected person strategy. ADCB needed to ratchet up the authorized choices, and getting the UK court concerned was probably the most logical step in that path. Picture Credit score: DailyKhaleej Archive

Expose them

ADCB’s stance on the topic was made clear in Thursday’s assertion – “This proactive strategy to put the Group in administration was taken in response to latest developments, together with the revelation of beforehand undisclosed liabilities of over $four billion, which suggests a major threat of insolvency.

“NMC may have concealed material information from creditors, shareholders, rating agencies and regulators. It also recently disclosed suspected fraudulent activity, which has impacted the Group’s financial position and the interests of ADCB and other key stakeholders.”

Fraud, insolvency

That ADCB takes up the 2 phrases – fraud and insolvency – in the identical assertion exhibits the stance it’ll take. Banks could have began dropping their endurance with the gradual tempo that inner investigations had been going down at NMC. (The investigations had been introduced effectively earlier than Belhoul got here into the image by taking 9 per cent stake by means of considered one of his funding autos.)

Asset stripping and extra?

With NMC in administration, will the main focus be on making an attempt to dump these property which can be deemed as non-core and retain the hospitals and different healthcare providers? In recent times, NMC had expanded into territories outdoors of the UAE, and had additionally made a string of high-profile acquisitions. (A few of these purchases had been made paying “top-dollar” and much above their market worth on the time, in line with some bankers within the know.)

NMC presently has a employees energy of 15,000 plus throughout its community. Will there be a discount in these employees numbers in some unspecified time in the future is a query that’s there on everybody’s minds. To date, NMC has managed to retain its core workforce of medical doctors, nurses and different key personnel.

Phrases of reassurance

ADCB was fast to make its stance clear on what subsequent. “The Bank has committed to extend short-term working capital facilities to the Company when the joint administrators commence their work,” the assertion stated. 

“ADCB would like to express its appreciation for the Group’s doctors, nurses and other critical care providers and employees, who are working tirelessly to serve local communities in challenging circumstances. The Bank will continue to coordinate with other creditors to support NMC at this critical time for the Group, its employees and patients.”

NMC as a pioneer

Since its arrange within the mid-1970s, NMC established its credentials as a key non-public healthcare enterprise. By means of the 1990s and the final decade, it cemented that place by means of a sequence of growth, together with a number of speciality hospitals in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

It now has 194 medical services throughout 19 nations, in line with the ADCB assertion and has touched the “lives of the majority of UAE residents”.

Abu Dhabi primarily based billionaire Dr. B.R. Shetty was the founding father of NMC Health and UAE Trade Home, two powerhouses of their respective classes. Each entities are actually under investigation. Picture Credit score: DailyKhaleej Archive

NMC was additionally the flagship round which Dr. B.R. Shetty constructed up a enterprise empire within the UAE and elsewhere. Now, with NMC going into administration – and a step away from full-scale insolvency – the UAE arm of that empire is in relative tatters.

The opposite arm, UAE Trade Centre, can also be under investigation, this time by UAE Central Financial institution.

And it solely took three months and 15 days for the entire edifice to crack. 

Dr. B.R. Shetty outlines his plans

“Out of respect for due course of and to permit the assorted investigations to rapidly and independently undertake their mandates, I’ve refrained, so far, from making any intensive public statements.

Nevertheless, as I’ve stated beforehand, I’m rigorously enterprise my very own investigations of the data obtainable to me, and I’ll make these findings generally known as quickly as doable, and within the correct and applicable method.

I’m extraordinarily keen and decided to carry to gentle the complete information, and the entire reality, round what has transpired to all stakeholders as rapidly as doable. That is particularly pressing to be able to carry a lot wanted help and reassurance to the hundreds of devoted medical doctors, nurses and healthcare staff of NMC Health, and in gentle of the present public well being disaster.”

– Anjana Kumar, Chief Reporter

The Most Effective Method To Improve Your Decision-making

The quality of your basic leadership abilities has an immediate bearing on your prosperity, regardless of whether you're dealing with a group of clinical application authorities or considering your next pharmaceutical deals profession move. 

Basic leadership can be full of danger, and individuals respond to basic leadership weight in fiercely various ways - some dread the most exceedingly terrible so stay incapacitated by uncertainty, while others are breezily presumptuous and think little of negative results. 

Fortunately, you can drastically improve your basic leadership aptitudes by following some strong procedures. 

1. Guide out the conceivable outcomes. 

Regardless of whether you're in pharmaceutical deals and considering new changes or choosing whether to fire that failing to meet expectations application expert, mapping things out features the best game-plan. 

Get a bit of paper and a pen and rundown all the potential arrangements and potential deterrents and results. At that point rank them all together dependent on the advantages and disadvantages of every option. When you have a reasonable game-plan, choose fearlessly upon it, at that point convey it and execute it as essentially and neatly as would be prudent. 

This procedure enables you to see unmistakably before you pick which choice is the best discerning decision and diminishes the impact of inclination on your basic leadership. 

2. Question all that you think you know. 

Pomposity is perilous. However, we approach nearly all that we do with a specific degree of trust in our current information. The issue is, that certainty isn't constantly defended. 

Drill down to the fundamentals and evaluate whether the data you are putting together your choice with respect to is genuinely solid. 

You may have heard that restorative delegates at a contending organization get a higher rate of commission. Be that as it may, would you say you are certain? Where did you hear this? Is it generally the case, or was that an outstanding superior worker who arranged that rate? 

What's more, for what reason is the director so sure that three months is an adequate timeframe for the new worker to have substantiated themselves? 

Here's the place a fair individual very much familiar with the business may probably cast some light. In the cases we've portrayed, a medicinal rep should connect with a real existence science selection representative with involvement in pharma deals to get some answers concerning commission rates, and the director should call an HR expert or an increasingly senior clinical application pro to ask to what extent 

it regularly takes for an application pro to wind up capable. 

On the off chance that you question your previously established inclinations, do your examination completely, and depend on the skill of others, and you'll commit fewer errors. 

3. Be exceptionally careful about your predisposition (and that of everyone around you.) 

Very frequently we end up favoring one choice over another, not on the grounds that it is the better choice, but since it is the one we need to take, where it counts. We constantly overestimate the positives and belittle the negatives, so we concoct the outcome that we truly need. 

Along these lines, we legitimize terminating the application expert since they committed an error, yet this is on the grounds that we don't care for them by and by, or we move to that new deals employment to improve our profession, yet in truth, it may be on the grounds that we are battling in our present job. 

Our subjective inclination is phenomenally solid, so it's essential to guide out every one of the advantages and disadvantages of paper and rate them sensibly, just as getting counsel from other fair individuals. 

This doesn't simply apply to your basic leadership - it's very regular for groups to get amped up for the game-plan they've thought of, over another may be the better alternative. Furthermore, when you approach individuals for counsel, recollect that they're coming at the issue with their own arrangement of inclinations. So be alert for indications of predisposition in your group as well. 

Some group preparing on recognizing predispositions can be amazingly useful. 

4. Recognize your dangers and most pessimistic scenario situations. 

For the administrator thinking about the application authority's rejection, this may be if the application master makes an objection about you. Have you pursued fair treatment and counseled HR? 

For the restorative rep thinking about the transition to another organization, your most dire outcome imaginable may have acknowledged a lower base pay or commission rate at the new job or being given a less beneficial domain than you right now have. 

All choices include some major disadvantages. Your main responsibility is to anticipate what the expenses might be as well as could be expected, and afterward make harmony with that cost. 

5. Review your past basic leadership. 

It is very horrendous to think back on times we've failed, which leads to a large number of us to attempt to never reconsider it! 

Plunk down and glance back on occasion when you've settled on the off-base choice. What did you realize? All the more significantly, what was your procedure when you were settling on the choice? Did you surge it? Is it accurate to say that you were an enthusiastic chief at that time? Did you accept the best and neglect to get ready for the most noticeably awful? 

Does that time feel somewhat like this time? What would you be able to do to abstain from committing another error? 

6. Try not to enable yourself to stall out in choice. 

Now and again we get deadened despite a choice. Yet, recall, not doing anything at all is a choice as well - it's only a poor one. 

There are three regular reasons for loss of motion in basic leadership: 

1. The dread of settling on the off-base decision. 

2. A terrible choice in the past is influencing your certainty. 

3. Sensing that you need more data to settle on an educated decision. 

Taking a gander at those three reasons for inaction, you should acknowledge three things consequently: 

1. Dread is anything but a sufficient motivation to abstain from acting. Inaction is as yet a decision. 

2. Everybody's committed errors previously. Fruitful individuals know to gain from them. 

3. You can generally discover more data. However, don't fall into the snare of waiting to be a flat out master on everything that goes over your work area before settling on your choice - this will incapacitate you. It can take a very long time to gather genuine aptitude, and it is fiercely ridiculous to expect this standard for each choice you make. Figure out how to perceive when you have enough data to settle on a deliberate choice. 

7. Casing all choices in light of your huge objectives. 

Does this choice draw you nearer to your group or individual objective? Is it a structure square or is it a diversion? 

8. Improve your passionate mindfulness. 

Notice when your feelings are getting the high ground, similar to when your pressure reaction is activated, or when you wind up aggravated, despondent or overpowered.

Generation Crypto  Freelance journalist Jess Klein writes about an emerging psychographic of people who see the world through the lens of decentralization. In a series of eight profiles, Klein examines “Generation Crypto,” a diffuse grouping of people of all ages, races and sexes, bound together as “children of Satoshi.” 

SpankChain’s Ameen Soleimani is the subject of this excerpted profile. Read the full series here. 

It was only February when the founder of the blockchain sex worker platform SpankChain, Ameen Soleimani, helped throw a coronavirus-themed party at an Airbnb-ed church during the ETHDenver conference in Colorado – drinking Corona beers with his “shitcoin trading friends, protocol developers, and bitcoin OGs” – but it feels like a lifetime ago.

It was weeks before several of the conference’s attendees went on to EthCC in Paris and got infected with the coronavirus, and one week before Soleimani convinced his mom to take a mass shopping trip to Costco to prepare for a lockdown in California that hadn’t started yet. “I probably could have done more to raise awareness and make people take it seriously,” he says of the church party.

But still, he was prepared. In addition to the Costco trip, he stockpiled drugs including chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine – both under testing to see how effective they could be in treating COVID-19 patients, though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cautioned against using them at home – and even bought an oxygen tank. “On the off-chance my mom is dying of coronavirus … I’d rather have an oxygen concentrator than $400,” he reasons. 

A couple months out from moving out of the apartment he’d shared with SpankChain co-Founder Wills de Vogelaere in Los Angeles’s Venice Beach, Soleimani has been isolating at an Ethereum friend’s mansion in West Hollywood. The friend isn’t there – it’s just Soleimani, two other friends, a heated pool and a steam room. “I sort of hit the quarantine jackpot,” he says.

Like many others in his industry, Soleimani was able to prepare so thoroughly thanks to a combination of a global network and shared prepper mentalities. “I’ve been in a Telegram ‘Doomsday Prepper’ group for, like, a month and a half,” he says, where members share “raw feeds from doctors’ Twitters” and the like. “It turns out to be better intel, a lot of the time, than if you listen to the World Health Organization.”

Being a young entrepreneur in the crypto space generally means avoiding the establishment ethos for a more progressive outlook. For instance, Soleimani posted his first porn video to PornHub back in January. Starring him and SpankChain adviser/adult film star Brenna Sparks, it features the pair “role playing” as themselves (a boss hooking up with his sexy adviser). It took a year for Soleimani to muster the courage to post it online but he has no regrets – it’s helping normalize the stigmatized industry his company operates in, he figures. 

“The old guard is like: He’s ruined his career, he’s fucked, nobody will take him seriously,” says Soleimani. Meanwhile, younger people in the space found the move iconic and admirable.

Soleimani sees this divide as indicative of business culture moving forward, particularly in the crypto space. “Eventually the old people will die, the rules will go with them and newer generations will set the cultural norms,” he said in February. “As entrepreneurs, it’s part of our role to bring those new concepts into the world.” 

In light of the pandemic, this makes for an exceptionally bleak and insensitive take. But in a world where people are only dressing from the waist up for conference calls, rolling with changing cultural norms has become inevitable.

New NMC Executive Chairman Announces Stabilisation Strategy for UAE’s Largest Private Healthcare Provider

Abu Dhabi, 4 April 2020: One week into his new role as Executive Chairman of the UAE’s largest private healthcare provider NMC Health Plc, Faisal Belhoul today set out his commitments to the company, its healthcare workforce and their patients, and its shareholders and creditors. 

Helping NMC achieve operational and financial stability to provide vital medical services in the nation’s fight against COVID-19 

Belhoul underscored NMC’s critical role in the provision of healthcare in the UAE, which makes the continuance of operations a national priority, particularly as the country and the world battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

The executive chairman stated his immediate priority was to achieve operational and financial stability to provide frontline care in the battle against COVID-19, and to prioritise payments to its healthcare workers and critical suppliers. As the largest private healthcare company in the UAE, the group operates more than 200 facilities including 14 centres of excellence, has more than 2,200 hospital beds and a staff of 2,000 doctors in 20 countries. The NMC Group is currently treating hundreds of people suspected of having COVID-19 and in the UAE has screened more than 10,000 workers for the virus in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Prevention and the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. The screening programme will include 90 staff testing as many as 200,000 labourers across the Northern Emirates. 

Belhoul stated that under its new leadership, NMC Health plc has the ability and commitment to provide vital healthcare services to the community at this critical time, strengthen the company’s business fundamentals and increase the value of the NMC Group’s business – and consequently returns, to creditors and shareholders.

Belhoul praised the thousands of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals at NMC for their continued dedication. “I commit to showing the same levels of support for our team as they show for their patients. The service they provide is invaluable, and their contribution to this country cannot be overstated,” he said. 

New Executive Chairman calls for temporary standstill from creditors to allow time to prepare and activate recovery plan 

Belhoul also called for patience and prudence from his creditors – calling for a temporary standstill to debt repayments to allow the new management team to prepare and activate a recovery plan which would provide greater value for all parties. He also thanked those lenders who had voiced their support for his appointment, adding: “There are considerable downsides to the company and its creditors if we were to be placed into administration. This would cause instability to the operating businesses of the NMC Group, creating additional pressure on the group’s liquidity and reducing value for all creditors.  This would be damaging not only to the interests of creditors but, in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, would potentially put lives at risk.”

Commitment to transparency, fair payment of creditors and recovery of misused funds 

NMC’s new executive chairman also stated that he fully understood the duties owed to the company’s creditors as the primary economic stakeholders in the NMC Group and vowed that he would do all in his power to cooperate with authorities in the UAE and UK to recover misused funds and ensure those involved in any wrongdoing were prosecuted. “I recognise the position in which the NMC Group finds itself and, as executive chairman, I will be undertaking a review to strengthen governance and control structures and achieve operational stability for the NMC Group as quickly as possible,” said Belhoul. “We are working in full cooperation and in close dialogue with authorities in the UAE and UK, including the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and will vigorously chase down the perpetrators for return of these funds.” 

NMC has committed to treating all creditors equally and not taking actions that prejudice the position of certain creditors relative to others. “Departing from these principles by acceding to the demands of any individual creditor would jeopardise the operating businesses of the NMC Group, increasing the risk of customers and suppliers terminating contracts or re-negotiating terms and putting even more pressure on the group’s liquidity,” said Belhoul. 

To bring independence and transparency to the finance and treasury functions, the board has also appointed PwC to advise on liquidity and operational matters and appointed Moelis as its independent financial advisor to determine the extent of, and assist in the restructuring of, the NMC Group’s debt.

Belhoul’s appointment was made after the company’s non-executive directors uncovered alleged theft and excess undisclosed borrowings by former directors of the company. Belhoul is one of the most highly regarded healthcare business leaders in the region. He is the founder of Ithmar Capital Partners and currently serves as its Chairman and also founded Amanat Holdings PJSC, one of the GCC’s largest integrated healthcare and education publicly listed investment companies. In addition, Belhoul was chairman of the board for a number of business groups and associations, including the UAE Private Hospitals Council and the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Equipment Business Group and was a board member of Al Noor, an FTSE 250 company.

The Upstart Saudi Prince Who’s Throwing Caution to the Winds

By Ben Hubbard and David D. Kirkpatrick, NY Times, Nov. 14, 2017

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia--With the tacit backing of his father, Saudi Arabia’s 32-year-old crown prince has established himself as the most powerful figure in the Arab world, rushing into confrontations on all sides at once.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the arrest of 11 princes in his royal family and nearly 200 members of the Saudi business elite, and has begun to take power from the kingdom’s conservative clerics. He has blockaded neighboring Qatar, accused Iran of acts of war and encouraged the resignation of Lebanon’s prime minister. And in Yemen, his armed forces are fighting an intractable war that created a humanitarian crisis.

The crown prince has moved so quickly that American officials and others worry that he is destabilizing the region. Signs of potential blowback are growing.

Investors, nervous about his plans, have been moving money out of the kingdom. Prince Mohammed has sought to counter the capital flight by squeezing detainees and others to surrender assets. He has presented the arrests as a campaign against corruption, but his targets call it a shakedown, and he has turned for advice to a former Egyptian security chief who has been pilloried at home for brutality and graft.

Prince Mohammed’s supporters say he is simply taking the drastic measures needed to turn around the kingdom’s graft-ridden and oil-dependent economy while pushing back against Iranian aggression.

But analysts around the region debate whether the headlong rush might be driven more by a desire to consolidate power before a possible royal succession, desperation for cash to pay for his plans or simply unchecked ambition to put his stamp on the broader Middle East. And despite President Trump’s enthusiasm for the prince, some in the State Department, the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies say they fear that his impulsiveness could both set back his own goals and destabilize the region.

“He’s decided he doesn’t do anything cautiously,” said Philip Gordon, the White House Middle East coordinator under President Barack Obama. But, Mr. Gordon said, “if the crown prince alienates too many other princes and other pillars of the regime, pursues costly regional conflicts and scares off foreign investors, he could undermine the prospects for the very reforms he is trying to implement.”

The extrajudicial arrests have spooked investors enough, analysts say, to extinguish the prince’s plans for an public stock offering of Aramco, the Saudi state oil company, in New York or London next year. It had been a centerpiece of his overhaul.

The crown prince’s threats against Iran and Lebanon have raised the specter of wars that the Saudi military, already bogged down in Yemen, is ill-equipped to fight. Riyadh would be forced to depend on the United States or Israel in any new conflict.

His corruption purge at home, meanwhile, risks alienating parts of the royal family and the financial elite at a moment that would appear to demand unity, either to smooth a succession or to face off against Iran. As many as 17 people detained in the anti-corruption campaign have required medical treatment for abuse by their captors, according to a doctor from the nearest hospital and an American official tracking the situation.

The former Egyptian security chief, Habib el-Adli, said by one of his advisers and a former Egyptian interior minister to be advising Prince Mohammed, earned a reputation for brutality and torture under President Hosni Mubarak. His lawyers say he plans to appeal his recent sentence in absentia in Egypt to seven years in prison on charges of corruption.

With the decline in the price of oil in recent years, Saudi Arabia has frozen projects and spent more than a third of its financial reserves, draining them to about $475 billion this fall from a peak of $737 billion in August 2014. At that burn rate, the kingdom has only a few years to lift its revenue or slash its spending to forestall a financial crisis.

Against that backdrop, the prince’s supporters argue that the anti-corruption campaign aims to recapture hundreds of billions of dollars that have leaked from the state budget through graft and self-dealing--money he needs to fund his development plans.

Prince Mohammed had appealed to the kingdom’s wealthy for months to invest in his modernization program. But some groused that his plans--like a new $500 billion business hub “for the dreamers of the world,” built from scratch and fueled entirely by clean energy--were ill-conceived and grandiose, and instead of investing at home they quietly moved their assets abroad.

Now, he is no longer merely asking. The Saudi government is pressing some of those detained and others still at large to sign over large sums in exchange for better treatment, according to an American official briefed on the crackdown and associates of the royal family. Employees of some of those arrested had been summoned months before to answer questions about their bosses, a sign that the purge was planned well in advance.

A senior Saudi official defending the crackdown said this week that it was meant to show that the old rules of business in the kingdom had changed.

“Corruption is at every level, and there are hundreds of billions of riyals that are lost from the national economy every year,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive government matters. “The point here was mainly to shock the system, to send a message that this will not be tolerated anymore and that nobody is immune.”

Corruption has been so endemic for so long--from inflated government contracts for large projects to simple bribes to obtain passports--that countless Saudis have participated. Yet, some princes with reputations for conspicuous corruption appear to have been left alone, raising questions about who is being targeted, and why.

Other signs suggest that Prince Mohammed may also be seeking to thwart perceived rivals. In June, he and his father stripped the titles of crown prince and interior minister from Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, 58, temporarily confining him to his palace. Admirers of the ousted crown prince were relieved last week when a video surfaced showing him moving freely through a family funeral, receiving kisses on his shoulder in a show of deference and loyalty from a procession of well-wishers.

That display of his continued popularity, however, may have been too much for the younger Prince Mohammed, who the next day ordered the seizure of the former crown prince’s assets, along with those of his wife and daughters, according to two family associates.

Some American officials suspect that Prince Mohammed may be rushing to lock down the levers of power in anticipation of a formal abdication by his father, King Salman, who scholars and Western officials say could be suffering from dementia.

When President Trump visited Riyadh for a summit meeting last summer, the king remained seated as he struggled to read a prepared statement. His speech was at times weak, halting or slurred. He seldom speaks publicly. Saudi officials, however, insist his mental capacities are sound.

Many, including current and former American diplomats, say Prince Mohammed’s boldness also reflects his conviction that he has the support of Mr. Trump.

Even in the last days of the Obama administration, another Persian Gulf royal who had already forged deep ties around Washington, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi began to promote his Saudi counterpart to the incoming Trump team as a useful ally. Both princes appear to have formed a particular bond with Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, who at 36 is a contemporary of the young Saudi prince.

Mr. Trump chose Saudi Arabia for the first foreign trip of his presidency, and Prince Mohammed and Mr. Kushner have built such a strong rapport that other American officials say they are not briefed on what the two discuss.

“Jared is a bit of a black hole,” said one State Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss frustration with the White House. “There is no sense of the positions he has advocated. We can only guess, based on what he has done and where he has been.”

The official added: “The Emiratis and the Saudis have been very careful to cultivate him and bring him along” toward their “confrontational posture in the region.”

A White House official who also insisted on anonymity disputed the characterization of Mr. Kushner, saying he regularly briefed the State Department and National Security Council on his trips and conversations.

Mr. Kushner made his third visit to the kingdom this year--this time unannounced until his return to Washington--in late October, when American officials say he stayed up late talking with Prince Mohammed at his ranch. The sweep of arrests unfolded days later, and Mr. Trump was quick to applaud, although several White House officials said the Saudis gave Mr. Kushner no heads up on what was about to take place.

“I have great confidence in King Salman and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, they know exactly what they are doing,” President Trump said on Twitter after the arrests had begun. “Some of those they are harshly treating have been ‘milking’ their country for years.”

Ms. Baeshen, the embassy spokeswoman, said that Saudi Arabia and the United States “enjoy a wide range of cooperative discussions” but that “domestic affairs are just that: domestic affairs.”

The State Department official, though, said that its diplomats, the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency all felt “growing alarm” that Prince Mohammed “is behaving recklessly without sufficient consideration to the likely consequences of his behavior, and that has the potential to damage U.S. interests.”

Abu Dhabi, UAE: When he was a child, Abdulrahman Al Qahtani would ask his cousins what they would be when they were older. The answers were always the same. Engineer. Doctor. Manager. Businessman. Mr Al Qahtani wanted to do 3-D design and motion design. His father was unimpressed. “He told me, ‘Ok it is your choice. But if you do and nobody employees you, I won’t employ you either’.” Mr Al Qahtani chose to keep his family happy and majored in finance, but once he completes his degree next semester he will work as web designer. “The funny thing is, three years later, my father now knows the value of this sector and 3-D design and he asks me, ‘why didn’t you chose to go into that major’?” Mr Al Qahtani is one of 1,259 participants at WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017, which begins on Saturday. In the 44th edition of the event, young professionals will compete in 51 skills including stonemasonry, cabinet making, baking and bricklaying. On Thursday, competitors visited private and public schools across Abu Dhabi. Each of the 58 competing countries was paired with a different school, where pupils studied the culture and history of the school they hosted. One School One Country is a WorldSkill tradition to promote cultural exchange but in multicultural Abu Dhabi participants carried another message: vocational training matters. This may be self-evident. After all, what country can run without its mechanics, carpenters, cooks and computer programmers? Yet in the Gulf, these types of jobs are typically done by foreign labour and often carry a social stigma. The Saudi team was greeted at the British School Al Khubairat with a reception hall packed with pupils. One performed the cello, another the clarinet. The Saudi guests explained how vocational training is essential to economic and social development in the Gulf. “We need these this in our country because all these vocations are done by people from overseas,” said Afra Allayati, 38, a team leader for Saudi’s WorldSkills team and vice dean at the Technical College for Girls in Jeddah. “Now the government want to develop the country and its independence. People understand it’s very important to work and become knowledgeable in these areas,” she said. “It’s also the need of the country. We need electricians, we need computer engineers, we need tailors. Think about your country and think about how you can give back from your studies.” Government support for vocational learning has slowly started to change social attitudes, said the Saudi team. “In in the Gulf region, before it wouldn’t be as acceptable to major in graphic design or web design as majoring in business administration or engineering,” said Mr Al Qahtani, who will represent Saudi in graphic design technology. “They would say you are a mere designer. Now, since the Saudi government started e- government where everything is focused on the web, holding companies have focused on this sector.” His teammate Khalid Abdulkarim, agreed. “I think there is a big change happening right now, people start to actually do things they didn’t use before,” said the 21-year-old, who will compete in aircraft maintenance. “They actually start to study these fields and it’s improving now.” A growing number of schools are offering vocational training. Al Bateen Academy, which was visited by 36 members of the Swiss team, is in the planning and development stage of a vocational curriculum that will start in 2018. “You have to look at the Abu Dhabi economic vision for 2030 and the competencies and the values that they want learners across the UAE to possess,” said the school principal David Hutson. “Universities and employers do not just simply want grades and knowledge, they want students to be able to apply their understanding and their skills to real situations. It’s trying to develop an economy and learners with a deep knowledge and understanding of their subject who have the skills that employers seek.” British School Al Khubairat is in the second year of its vocational training programme. “The world needs a variety of skills,” said its headmaster Mark Leppard. “People study in different ways and different qualifications offer that. Abu Dhabi is pushing vocational education tremendously and the UAE is pushing it. You have to have a balance. “My advice to parents when children are choosing their GCSEs or high school exams and a levels is for the children to be able to follow their passion and that way you will genuinely getting them loving what they do.” The 44th edition of WorldSkills begins on Saturday, October 14. Competitions run at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from October 15 to 18 and are open to the public. © The National via Edarabia.com
