A very foolish endeavour in a ****ing horrible country.
Tribalism isn't restricted to the middle east. We have it here, we hate the Scots and they hate us.[emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]this is what you will have a hard time convincing people of ........most of these countries are/were ruled with an iron fist but it suited western agenda to get rid of Saddam & Gaddafi thus destabilising an entire region and reduce the perceived , immediate risk to our Israeli buddies .......well how did that work out, i know for a fact there are some gargantuan building projects under way in Iraq and the Emirates using expat expertise , i play golf with a Geordie lad who has just come off a 5 year contract 3 months on 2 weeks off in Iraq , he has always been very cagey about what he does out there and one recent afternoon after a few too many coldies he told me he had to sign a non disclosure agreement with his employer (BP) and that he has over 200,000 USD tied up for 3 years dependant on him keeping certain aspects of his vocation quiet.
The part of your post i was alluding to is the tribalism , it is a massive problem in the developing world .
I really don't know why the UK keeps doing business with these disgusting backward, stone age Middle East states. Well OK, I do, oil and weapons, but it's about time we put our morals first.
This.
What an utter plonker.
Surprised he didn't nip off to Syria first to investigate Daesh's excution strategy.![]()

It was a joke; he dropped that woman in Iran in the shit when he was Home Secretary.
Yes, I realise that. This is not just about a naive academic, but also his naive supervisors at Durham University who today have said 'there would now have to be "some kind of moratorium" on sending students to do field work in the UAE and the wider Gulf region'. No Sh*t, Sherlock.
Maybe because the naive supervisors at Durham University think we live in a happy jazz handsy world.

I’m wondering why he would sign a confession written in Arabic when he couldn’t read Arabic so was unaware what he was signing?

You can't just go crashing around the world without having some sense of awareness of what might land you in deep shit in the country you're visiting.
