Description
#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #AndreasKrieg #GoldSmugglingYou’ve heard about Dubai’s glittering skyline—but what’s buried beneath it?
In this explosive episode of The Tea, Dr. Andreas Krieg—defence analyst and expert on Gulf geopolitics—joins Myriam François to pull back the curtain on the UAE and Saudi Arabia’s growing regional empire.
🛑 From gold smuggled out of Sudan to fund militias and fuel genocide
🛑 From AI-powered smart cities in Saudi Arabia to the weaponisation of surveillance
🛑 From influencers selling the Dubai dream to activists rotting in Gulf prisons
🛑 From Gulf-backed Islamophobia campaigns to the global export of censorship
What happens when free speech is criminalised, dissent is silenced, and truth is turned into a weapon?
This is the war they don’t want you to see. This is the power network no one wants to name. Think you know the Middle East? Think again.
