UAE Cuts UK Study Funding Over Radicalization Fears

The United Arab Emirates has halted state funding for Emirati citizens pursuing studies in the UK due to concerns over Islamist radicalization, particularly by the Muslim Brotherhood. This move affects around 8,500 students, as the UAE now favors top universities in the US and Europe. The decision is part of strained relations between the two nations, with the UAE cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood since the Arab Spring. The UK maintains its campuses are secure, but the UAE has not commented on the matter. Checkout Solipillow.com
