For a long time the GCC’s reputation for personal safety and stability has been a key draw for global talent and investment.

Having previously made Abu Dhabi our home for 7 years and now living in Doha, I am keen to see how the diplomatic aftermath of this attack is dealt with. The #UN will condemn, but will there be any concrete action?

"#Russia's 'anti-#woke #visa' woos #Western #expatriates

#Moscow's "Shared Values Visa" welcomes #conservative migrants who are against #LGBTQ+ rights or globalism in general. Russia, meanwhile, uses the newcomers for #propaganda"
