Emirate of Abu Dhabi

In November 2003, Sheikh Zayed appointed his son Mohamed as Deputy Crown Prince of
Abu Dhabi.[15][27] Upon the death of his father, Sheikh Mohamed became Crown Prince of
Abu Dhabi in November 2004 and was appointed Deputy Supreme Commander of the
UAE Armed Forces in January 2005.[28] Later that month, he was promoted to the rank of
General. Since December 2004 he has also been the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive
Council, which is responsible for the development and planning of the Emirate of Abu
Dhabi and is a member of the Supreme Petroleum Council.[29] He also served as a special
adviser to his older half-brother Khalifa bin Zayed, President of the UAE.
Mohamed and U.S. President
As a result of Sheikh Khalifa's ill health, Mohamed became the de facto ruler of Abu Dhabi George W. Bush at Camp David
and was responsible for welcoming foreign dignitaries in the capital district of the United
Arab Emirates in the city of Abu Dhabi.[30][31][32] On 13 May 2022, he became the ruler of
Abu Dhabi, following the death of his brother Khalifa.[12] On 14 May 2022, he was elected as the President of the United Arab
Emirates.[13]

UAE foreign policy

In 2018, Mohamed traveled to Ethiopia to meet Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ahead of the first installment of a $3 billion donation
from the UAE to Ethiopia, intended to tide over its foreign exchange shortage. Under Mohamed's encouragement and initiative, the
UAE raised funds to provide aid to Somalia during periods of drought.[33][34][35]
Mohamed is a supporter of Yemen's internationally recognized government after the Yemen
civil war and supported the Saudi-led, western-backed intervention in Yemen to drive out
Houthi militants after the Houthi takeover in Yemen.[36] During Mohamed's visit to France
in November 2018, a group of rights activists filed a lawsuit against the crown prince
accusing him of "war crimes and complicity in torture and inhumane treatment in Yemen".
The complaint filed on behalf of the French rights group AIDL said: "It’s in this capacity
that he has ordered bombings on Yemeni territory."[37]

United States

Mohamed regards the United States as his chief ally and has a strong relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
United States diplomats including US former Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis and US being received by Sheikh Mohamed
former national security advisor and counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke. As unpaid in Abu Dhabi
advisers, Mohamed consults them and follows their advice on combating terrorism and
enhancing the UAE's military strength and intelligence. Mohamed had an initially good
relationship with the Obama administration but the relationship deteriorated when
Barack Obama had not bothered to consult or even inform the UAE about the Iran
nuclear deal. The UAE had a lot at stake, having forced Dubai traders to give up their
lucrative business with Iran to comply with the sanctions. According to an Emirati
senior adviser “His Highness felt that the U.A.E. had made sacrifices and then been
excluded”. Mohamed continued talking to Obama regularly and offered him advice. He
warned him that the proposed remedy in Syria — Islamist rebels — could be worse
than Bashar al-Assad's tyranny. He also urged Obama to talk to the Russians about
working together on Syria. The relationship deteriorated further when Obama made
dismissive comments in a 2016 interview in The Atlantic, describing the gulf's rulers as Sheikh Mohamed representing the United
“free riders” who “do not have the ability to put out the flames on their own”. After the Arab Emirates in the NSS 2012
election of Donald Trump, Mohamed flew to New York to meet the president-elect's
team and canceled a parting lunch with Obama.[22][38]

Mohamed shared similar ideas with President Trump regarding Iran and the Muslim
Brotherhood, as Trump has sought to move strongly against both.[39] When Mohamed was
a child, his father Sheikh Zayed unknowingly assigned a prominent Muslim Brotherhood
member, Ezzedine Ibrahim, as Mohamed's tutor. His tutor attempted an indoctrination that
backfired. "I am an Arab, I am a Muslim and I pray. And in the 1970s and early 1980s I was
one of them," Mohamed told visiting American diplomats in 2007 to explain his distrust of
the Muslim Brotherhood, as they reported in a classified cable released by WikiLeaks. He
stated “I believe these guys have an agenda.”[10] Trump also shared Mohamed's views on Mohamed with U.S. Secretary of
Qatar, Libya and Saudi Arabia, even over the advice of cabinet officials or senior national Defense James Mattis, Abu Dhabi,
security staff.[40] In August 2020, Trump, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and February 2017
Sheikh Mohamed jointly announced the establishment of formal Israel–United Arab
Emirates relations.[41]

Russia

Mohamed maintains a strong relationship with Russia and its president Vladimir Putin, and
has brokered talks between Russia and the Trump administration. In 2016, Mohamed was
found involved in the Russian meddling of the US presidential elections, where his adviser
George Nader arranged a meeting for him and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
in Seychelles with the US and Russian delegates, including Erik Prince and Kirill
Dmitriev.[42] On 3 June 2019, Nader, who lobbied for the UAE and Saudi Arabia, was
arrested and charged with possession of child pornography.[43] A year later, he was
sentenced to ten years in prison on child sex charges.[44] Mohamed was named in the final Russian president Vladimir Putin
report of special counsel Robert Mueller on the alleged collusion between Trump campaign meeting with Sheikh Mohamed in
and Russia, which the investigation later concluded that there was no collusion between the Abu Dhabi in October 2019
meeting that occurred with Mohamed.[45] Mohamed's strong relationship with both Russia
and the United States, as well as the influence he wields across both countries, has led The
New York Times to label him as the Arab World's "most powerful ruler".[39]

Putin calls Mohamed an "old friend" and "a big friend of our country, a big friend of Russia". The two leaders talk with each other
on the phone regularly.[46] In an official state visit to the Emirates, Putin gifted Mohamed a Russian gyrfalcon. The UAE also
trained the first two Emirati astronauts Hazza Al Mansouri and Sultan Al Neyadi, and successfully launched the first Emirati and
first Arab Astronaut Hazza Al Mansouri to the International Space Station with Russian help.
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Mohamed refused to take phone calls with U.S. President Joe Biden when Biden was
trying to build international support for Ukraine and encourage greater oil production to contain a surge in oil prices.[47]

Turkey

In August 2021, Mohammed held talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to discuss reinforcing relations between their
two countries.[48] This came after years of each state supporting opposing sides in regional conflicts, such as that in Libya.[49]
Relations started to improve between the two regional rivals – the UAE and Turkey – following the fall of Afghanistan to the
Taliban and the withdrawal of the US troops.[50]

Nuclear energy

Under Mohamed's leadership, the UAE built the first peaceful nuclear power reactor, the Barakah nuclear power plant, in the
region.[51] The UAE and US signed a bilateral agreement for peaceful nuclear cooperation that enhances international standards of
nuclear non-proliferation.[52]
Mohamed was at the Nuclear Security Summit of 2012[53] and 2014, which were hosted by South
Korea and the Netherlands respectively.[54]

Religion in the UAE

Islam is the official religion of the UAE and there are laws against blasphemy, proselytizing
by non-Muslims, and conversions away from Islam. The constitution of the UAE guarantees
freedom of worship, unless it contradicts public policy or morals.[55] The UAE government
tightly controls and monitors Muslim practices.[56] A government permit is required to hold
a Quran lecture or distribute content related to Islam. All imams must receive their salaries
from the UAE government.[56]

Mohamed visited Pope Francis in 2016, and in February 2019, he welcomed Francis to the
UAE, marking the first papal visit to the Arabian Peninsula. Pope Francis's arrival coincided Sheikh Mohamed and Narendra Modi
with a conference entitled “Global Conference of Human Fraternity”. The conference are presented with Hindu literature,
featured talks and workshops about how to foster religious tolerance. As part of this visit, Abu Dhabi
Pope Francis held the first Papal Mass to be celebrated in the Arabian Peninsula at Zayed
Sports City in which 180,000 worshippers from 100 countries, including 4,000 Muslims,
were present.[57][58][59] Mohamed has criticized violent extremism.[60][61]

Domestic policy

Authoritarianism

Political scientists have characterized Mohamed bin Zayed as the strongman leader of an authoritarian regime,[6][7][8][9] as there are
no free and fair elections,[62] political and civil rights are limited,[63] free speech is restricted,[63][64] and there are no free and
independent media.[62] According to the human rights organizations Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the UAE
practices torture, arbitrary detention, and forced disappearance of citizens and residents.[65][63]

Political scientist Christopher Davidson has characterized Mohamed's tenure as de facto UAE leader as entailing a "a marked and
rapid intensification of autocratic-authoritarianism."[7] Democracy indicators show "recent and substantial efforts to tighten up
almost all remaining political and civic freedoms."[7] According to Andreas Krieg, Mohamed's political ideology holds that
strongman authoritarianism is the optimal governance system for the UAE.[6] Krieg writes:[6]

"MbZ envisaged the creation of a new Middle Eastern state... Statecraft would be the prerogative of the autocratic,
centralized ruler whose transactional relationship with his subordinates was supposed to be governed by both means of
accommodation and repression. The ideal strongman, from MbZ’s point of view, was in control of the security sector,
both military and law enforcement, and governed over a society emancipated from religious conservatism and
empowered by capitalist market structures... Abu Dhabi’s paranoia over political dissidence was further fuelled by the
developments of the Arab Spring to which MbZ internally reacted by further curtailing the freedom of speech, thought
and assembly in the country... MbZ’s fierce state has moved against any civil society activism in the country outside
state control."[6]
Economic policy

Scholars have characterized the UAE under Mohamed bin Zayed's regime as a rentier state.[66]

He heads the Abu Dhabi Council for Economic Development (ADCED),[67][68][69] and is the Deputy Chairman of the Abu Dhabi
Investment Authority (ADIA).[70] He is the chairman of the Mubadala Development Company[28] (an Emirati state-owned holding
company that can be characterized as a sovereign wealth fund)[67][71] and the Deputy Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Investment
Authority (the Sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi).[72][26] He is the head of the Tawazun Economic Council, formerly known as
UAE offsets programme bureau established in 1992[73] and is the head of the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge
which was established in 2005.[74][75]

According to The Intercept and referencing the hacked emails of Yousef Al Otiaba, an American citizen Khaled Hassen received a
$10 million in 2013 for an alleged torture settlement after a lawsuit presented in the federal court in L.A. against three top members
of the royal family of Abu Dhabi, including Mohamed bin Zayed.[76]

In June 2018, he approved a 3-year 50 billion AED stimulus package. He also commissioned a review of building regulations in an
effort to galvanize urban development.[77]

He is Vice Chairman of the Supreme Petroleum Council of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. The council is the primary
governing body of Abu Dhabi's hydrocarbon resources.[78][79][80]

Military
Mohamed served as an officer in the Amiri Guard (now known as Presidential Guard), as a
pilot in the UAE's Air Force, as Commander of the UAE Air Force and Air Defense, and as
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces. In 2005, he was appointed Deputy Supreme
Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and was accordingly promoted to Lt.
General.[81][82]

In the early 1990s, Mohamed told Richard Clarke, then an assistant secretary of state, that he
wanted to buy the F-16 fighter jet. Clarke replied that he must mean the F-16A, the model
the Pentagon sold to American allies. Mohamed said that instead he wanted a newer model Mohamed as Chief of Staff in his
he had read about in Aviation Week, with an advanced radar-and-weapons system. Clarke airforce military uniform greeting then
told him that that model did not exist yet; the military had not done the necessary research US Secretary of Defense William S.
and development. Mohamed said the UAE would pay for the research and development. Cohen in Abu Dhabi, 1997.
The subsequent negotiations went on for years, and according to Clarke “he ended up with a
better F-16 than the U.S. Air Force had”.[22]

Mohamed made jujitsu compulsory in schools. In 2014 he established the military draft, forcing young Emiratis to attend a year of
boot camp, initially running a pilot project within his own family and making his own daughters run as the sample size by making
them attend boot camp. He invited Maj. Gen. Mike Hindmarsh, the retired former head of Australia's Special Operations Command,
to help reorganize the Emirati military. According to the New York Times, as a result of Mohamed's vision, the United Arab Emirates
Armed Forces became the best equipped and trained military in the region apart from Israel.[22] Under Mohamed's leadership, the
United Arab Emirates Armed Forces also became commonly nicknamed as "Little Sparta" by United States Armed Forces General
and former US defense secretary James Mattis as a result of their active and effective military role despite their small active
personnel.[83]

According to a 2020 study, Mohamed's reforms successfully increased the effectiveness of the UAE military.[84]

Controversies
On 17 July 2020, a French investigating magistrate was appointed to carry out the probe targeting Mohamed bin Zayed for
"complicity in the acts of torture" citing the UAE's involvement in the Yemen civil war. The investigation was initially opened in
October 2019, after two complaints were filed against the Crown Prince during his official visit to Paris in November 2018. One of
the two complaints was filed with the constitution of civil party by six Yemenis, who claimed of being tortured, electrocuted and
burned by cigarettes in Yemeni detention centers controlled by the UAE armed forces.[85] A report by United Nations experts
highlighted that the attacks of the Saudi-led coalition, of which the UAE is a member, may have constituted war crimes, and that the
Emirati forces controlled two centres where torture has been carried out.[86]

In October 2021, Mohamed's name was featured alongside four other Emirati officials in an indictment of Thomas J. Barrack,
former adviser of Donald Trump. In July 2021, Barrack was arrested by the American authorities for failing to register as a foreign
lobbyist for the UAE, obstructing justice and lying to investigators.[87] Later, his seven-count indictment identified names of three
Emirati royals, who were hosts at Barrack's reception in December 2016. It included Mohamed bin Zayed, Tahnoun bin Zayed and
director of the Emirati intelligence service, Ali Mohammed Hammad Al Shamsi. Two other UAE officials named in the indictment
were Abdullah Khalifa Al Ghafli and Yousef Al Otaiba. Together, the officials were accused of giving Barrack the task to push the
Emirati interests with the US.[88]

Philanthropy
Mohamed has gifted 55 million AED to the UN Global Initiative to Fight Human
Trafficking,[89] committed to raise $100 million for the Reaching the Last Mile
Fund,[90] pledged $50 million for children vaccine efforts in Afghanistan and
Pakistan,[91][92][93][94] and contributed $30 million to the Roll Back Malaria
Partnership.[95][96][97] The University of Texas chair for scientific and medical
knowledge in cancer research is named after Mohamed as a result of a funding grant to
MD Anderson Cancer Center.[98] He organizes the Zayed Charity Marathon in New
York City since its inauguration in 2005. The race raises awareness about kidney
disease, and the proceeds go to the US's National Kidney Foundation.[99][100]

Mohamed bin Zayed has been involved in setting up art museums, such as Louvre Abu
2017
Dhabi in 2017 and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi in 2012, as well as cultural heritage
sites such as Qasr Al Hosn.[101][102][103][104]

Mohamed has been involved in efforts to protect wild falcons, bustards, and the Arabian Oryx. He donated $1 million to an initiative
aimed at preventing the power line-related deaths of wild birds, as part of launching of the 20-million-dollar Sheikh Mohamed Bin
Zayed Raptor Conservation Foundation.[105] He heads the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund.[106][107][108]

A species of woodlizard—Enyalioides binzayedi—was named after Mohamed as the creator of the Mohamed bin Zayed Species
Conservation Fund that provided financial support to the expeditions leading to the discovery of the species in the Cordillera Azul
National Park in Peru.[109][110] In 2017, Acer binzayedii, a rare species of maple tree found in the mountainous cloud forest of
Jalisco in Western Mexico, was named after him.[111]
