Intelligence Online magazine reports on a struggle within the ruling family in Abu Dhabi for control of companies and assets. According to the report, the one who has the upper hand is Tahanon Ben Zayed, the National Security Adviser, and the brother of the de facto ruler Muhammad bin Zayed.
Tahanon runs the "Abu Dhabi Holding Company" ADQ, which is expanding its interests. In addition, Tahanon recently took over Edge, a holding company in the military and security industry, while pushing his brother, Mansour. Under Tahanon's control are other companies engaged in the field of cyber and electronic warfare.
This is not the first time the media in the West has attached importance to the rising power of Tahanon.
