    My question to Lusaka times and any Lusaka times blogger is; Who is the President / ruler of the UAE? BECAUSE it seems confusing here in this LT article it’s like we have two different name of people under one position. assist me the correct position and answer.

    • Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the president of UAE and “ruler of Abu Dhabi” Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the Prime minster of UAE and the ruler of Dubai. UAE is made up of seven emirates each having its own ruler. More like Federal system of governance
