This week on The Thinking Muslim, we are joined once again by Sami Hamdi for a timely discussion on shifting power dynamics in the Muslim world. He examines Saudi Arabia under Mohammed bin Salman, particularly MBS’s relationship with the UAE and Mohammed bin Zayed, and the implications of this alliance for Yemen, Somaliland, and wider regional politics, including Israel. We also discuss the kidnapping involving Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, situating it within broader questions of power, coercion, and international politics.
