Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan has Died
United Arab Emirates Founder and President Sheikh Zayid bin Sultan Al Nahyan has passed away at the age of 86 after a long struggle with illness, Abu Dhabi state television announced last night.
Sheikh Zayid was behind the unity of the 7 emirates that make up the UAE in 1971, and has been one of the greatest arab leaders throughout the years.
