the operator of the port has more to say about the comings and goings thereand happens to be the SAME ONE AS BEFORE THIS DEAL WAS REACHED! The same people! Who doesn't understand this? The company that employees these operators was just purchased by the UAE. Beyond that, NOTHING CHANGES! Or do you think that the UAE is going to risk profits just so some fanatic can get their way? These people are bankers. They are democratic, industrious and not fanatical nuts like wahabi Muslims.

You are getting played.

ever been involved in a merger? sure, the same people work there the first day after it closes. but 2 years later, its another story, the acquiring company slowly filters their own people in from the top.

You say nothing changes? UAE will be in charge of security personnel. Hiring security personnel. That does not mean changes? So, I'm stupid and don't understand?

and the other major thing that changes after an acqusition - who hires the subcontractors that do alot of the work. that chain of command instantly moves to the acquiring company.
