Gulf states must counter misinformation campaigns | GulfNews.com:

"The recent economic developments in the Gulf topped the agenda at the symposium organised last week by the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research and the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies.

The situation is getting complex for many reasons. First, some local and foreign parties are exploiting some of the economic measures adopted by the GCC countries, especially after the collapse in oil prices, to boost their financial situation. Among these are reforms integral to stabilising the economic conditions and diversify sources of income. Unfortunately, these have been deliberately twisted for the purpose of incitement.

Second, there is Iran’s non-stop interventions in the GCC’s internal affairs and its continuing occupation of three UAE islands, as well as its support to the Houthi rebels in Yemen. These add salt to the region’s open wounds."
