Mohammed bin Zayed: The Untold Story of Middle East’s Most Powerful Ruler

Mohamed bin Zayed (MBZ) is one of the most powerful and controversial leaders in the modern Middle East.

He is a man who once told a US diplomat: “Middle East is not California. Democracy should not come here.”

He is a man whose decisions have shaped wars, toppled governments, crushed movements and redrawn regional alliances.

This documentary reveals the secret worldview, hidden fears and aggressive foreign policy of the UAE’s president.

From Egypt to Libya… from Yemen to Sudan… from covert intelligence cooperation with Israel to the Abraham Accords, MBZ’s fingerprints appear on some of the most defining events of the last decade.

What this documentary covers:

How MBZ sees democracy as a threat, and why
The WikiLeaks cables that exposed his real views
The fall of Egypt’s first elected government and the UAE-backed counter-revolution
UAE’s secret role in Libya’s civil war and support for Khalifa Haftar
The devastating UAE-Saudi intervention in Yemen
Sudan’s gold smuggling networks, the RSF militia and the UAE connection
The rise of a surveillance state inside the UAE
Pegasus spyware, arrests and the “Golden Cage” model
Why MBZ turned to Israel as a strategic ally
The real motives behind the Abraham Accords
How one ruler is rewriting the political map of the Middle East

MBZ has indeed transformed the UAE into an economic powerhouse. But the question is: at what cost?

Is his model sustainable or will the sands shift again?
