Egypt - Nov 15

The United Arab Emirates formally designated the Muslim Brotherhood and local affiliates as terrorist groups, state news agency WAM reported on Saturday citing a cabinet decree. The UAE has also designated Nusra Front and the Islamic State as terrorist organizations, along with Shi'ite militant groups such as the Houthi movement in Yemen. This underscores concern in the U.S.-allied oil producer about political Islam and the influence of the Brotherhood, whose Sunni Islamist doctrines challenge dynastic rule. Source: Reuters
