From the UAE English papers, farewells to Sheikh Saqr of Ras al-Khaimah:
The National emphasizes his role as the last of the UAE's founding fathers, while
Gulf News offers a review of his long life. Certainly in his 92 Hijri years (about 90 Gregorian) he saw his territory grow from a remote pearl fishery to a constituent part of a modern state. (For a somewhat less adulatory appreciation,
try The Daily Telegraph.)
Also, two profiles of the new ruler, Sheikh Sa‘ud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, again from
The National and
Gulf News.
