Exclamation

The filing of this lawsuit is new, though the accusation is rather old international news that has been around for years. It has long been published of in magazines, & there is also film documentary.

It appears that the accusations are based upon some very solid facts of evidence. A Google search will pull up much more information in regard to the plights of the child camel jockies.

I have heard him speak english before but he while accepting the award he was studdering a little and having a heard time speaking english.

Kalifa bin Saeed, Rashid bin Saeed, and Ahmed bin Saeed are brothers. Therefore, Ahmed is the uncle of the offspring of both Kalifa and Rashid.

Default What can be the reason ?

Do any one know if Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum ( The uncle of Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum ) is single or married ? I heard rumours saying he is married to a foreigner lady but he haven't announced officially and that he also have a child from her is this true ? If not why dont he get married even though when he is already 46 years old ? Do he have any personal fortune ?

i've a doubt that is out of this context. with Sheikh Maktoum's death, shouldn't be Sheikh Hamdan the ruler? He's older than Sheikh Mohammed ...

Not always is the succession one of age. Derivation often occurs. Sheikh Mohammed was the Crown Prince and thus the heir designate. Sometimes the Crown Prince can change as has happened over the past few years in Qatar, Sharjah, and Ras al Khamaih.

Why we not open one forum where we discuss and post pictures of Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum children or better we open one forum which will be opened for about every member linked with Al Maktoum Family ? Because i have seen that Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid and His older brother Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum together with their uncle Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum are leading Dubai in to a visionary hub for every field so why dont we meet together to follow them up with photo's and news together of all three as family news ?
Their uncle Sheikh Khalifa Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is still alive or dead do any one know ?
