🎓 Dem Emirat Scharja kommt in der Gegenwart besondere Bedeutung zu. Es ist das Einzige Emirat, dass sowohl Zugang zum Persichen Golf als auch zum Golf von Oman hat. Der Podcast geht der Frage nach, wie das Eigenverständnis des Emirates innerhalb der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate ist. Mehrere Wochen haben wir vor Ort recherchiert und haben aus unseren Interviews eine spannende Reportage gemacht. Der Podcast entstand vor dem Krieg zwischen den USA und Iran, durch das auch das Emirat Scharja sein Unschuld verloren hat.
/🎓 The Emirate of Sharjah holds particular significance today. It is the only emirate with access to both the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The podcast explores how the emirate sees itself within the United Arab Emirates. We spent several weeks conducting research on the ground and have turned our interviews into a fascinating report. The podcast was produced before the war between the US and Iran, as a result of which the Emirate of Sharjah has also lost its innocence.
تكتسب إمارة الشارقة في الوقت الحاضر أهمية خاصة. فهي الإمارة الوحيدة التي تطل على كل من الخليج الفارسي وخليج عمان. يتناول هذا البودكاست السؤال حول كيفية فهم الإمارة لذاتها ضمن دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. لقد أجرينا أبحاثًا ميدانية على مدى عدة أسابيع، وأعددنا تقريرًا مثيرًا للاهتمام استنادًا إلى المقابلات التي أجريناها. تم إنتاج هذا البودكاست قبل اندلاع الحرب بين الولايات المتحدة وإيران، التي أدت إلى فقدان إمارة شاريا لبراءتها.
