Amidst the controversy on whether or not\u00a0United Arab Emirates had extended Rs 700 crore to flood-hit Kerala,\u00a0The Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0reported that the Facebook page of UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan has featured a news report under the headline “UAE Pledges Rs-700-crore Kerala relief and rehabilitation”<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article went on to state that \u201csources familiar with the UAE said that it would be inconceivable that the official site of the President would post a canard and continue to keep it there for days. Some sources went to the extent of describing the post as “a virtual endorsement”<\/em>. So, is there truth behind the claim that an official site of the President of UAE has shared a news report about the Rs. 700 crore aid?<\/p>\n

It may be noted that this Facebook post copy-pasted the article published by The News Minute<\/em><\/a>, which reported on this alleged offer after a press conference by Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan.<\/p>\n

UAE Pledges rs-700 crore kerala relief and rehabilitation<\/p>\n

Coming as a major relief for Kerala, which is struggling to…<\/p>\n

Posted by Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan<\/a> on\u00a0Tuesday, August 21, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The news item led to expected speculation about the aid offer. \u201cWould the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Khalifa, reproduce a news\u00a0report of the\u00a0Rs 700 crore aid his country wanted to give Kerala on his\u00a0Facebook page if such an offer hadn’t been made in the first place?”<\/em> No, he wouldn’t\u00a0and he didn’t. That is because the President of the United Arab Emirates is not on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Even a cursory glance at the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan<\/em> page that posted the news report would reveal that this is not an official page of the President of the United Arab Emirates. The number of followers and the absence of the\u00a0verified blue tick on the page point to the fact that this cannot be the official page of a Head of State. The page information states that it is managed by one Christopher Butler who works at a finance company in Istanbul. The page posts news reports in English mainly related to Sheikh Khalifa and the UAE.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many leaders of the UAE government are active on social media. These include Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/a>, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai who has 9.35 million followers on Twitter and 3.8 million followers on Facebook. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan<\/a>, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE’s Armed Forces is also active on Twitter with close to 2 million followers.<\/p>\n

With the exception of occasional tweets, both them post exclusively in Arabic. This is basic check that\u00a0The Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0should have done before suggesting that a page with less than 6000 followers belongs to the President of United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0ought to have been extra careful when commenting on a news item as contentious as the Rs 700 crore aid to Kerala on the basis of an unverified social media account. Surprisingly, the news report made it to the front page of the paper without the most basic of fact checks. The so-called \u201csources\u201d of the publication seem uninformed to confirm that a post by an unverified page with less than 6000 followers could be \u201ca virtual endorsement\u201d of the aid. The \u201csources familiar with the UAE\u201d also did not spot that an \u201cofficial\u201d page that posts content exclusively in English simply cannot be the official page of the President of the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
