Twitter conflict between 971 and 966

The eminent UAE academic Abdul Khaleq Abdullah has once again raised the specter of Saudi activists on communication platforms Tuesday, saying that his country has become the most important in the region.

Abdullah, who has been an adviser to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, said through his personal account on Twitter that some say the 971 (the key to the UAE) is the most important international symbol in the region.

"Abu Dhabi welcomes the presidents of Armenia, the Maldives, Montenegro and Namibia, the Australian Defense Minister, the Special Envoy of the Chinese President, the list goes on and the migration season to the State of the International Code 971 continues," he added.

Two days ago, Abdullah said in another tirade that his country had received the heads of Mauritania, Mongolia, Mali, the Prime Minister of Uganda, the President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the Japanese Minister of Commerce, the Secretary of State of the United States, the Foreign Minister of Oman, the Secretary of the Cooperation Council and the Commander of US Forces in Afghanistan. "Some say that 971 is the most important international symbol in the region."

Saudi responses
The Saudi academic praise of the UAE is a provocation to the kingdom, which is the UAE's biggest neighbor and main partner in its military operations in Yemen.

Saudi militants attacked Abdul Khaleq Abdullah for his twittering. "We do not differ in the importance and prestige of the beloved UAE, but perhaps its importance comes after this code 966," said an account named Hilal al-Zawahir on Twitter.

"The UAE is dear to the hearts of the Saudis, it is a very important country, but the capital of the Arab decision remains Riyadh, and most importantly, there is no discussion about that," said an account with the name of Mohammed Al-Adawat on Twitter.

This is not the first time that the UAE's Abdullah Hafizah has raised the Saudis. He did the same on November 13 because of a tweet on Twitter saying that the UAE has become the new center of gravity in the Arab world.

He said at the time: "Even if some continue to incite, annoy, hate and disbelieve, the facts on the ground and the huge responsibilities that the UAE is currently facing towards the Arab nation indicate that Zayed's homeland, which will celebrate its 47th anniversary on December 2, has become the center of new gravity and the rising star of development. In the Arab space. "

Some were surprised by the contrast with the twinkle of the UAE academic eight months ago, in which Saudi Arabia was considered the center of Arab gravity.

"May the Arab and Muslim geopolitical center of gravity prepare to receive US President Trump tomorrow," he said on May 19, 2017.

He also angered the Saudis on another occasion on 17 November when he called for the release of Hutton al-Fassi, one of the detained activists in the kingdom, on charges of "contacting outside parties."
