Sky News Arabia has been accused of broadcasting propaganda and whitewashing genocide in Sudan
Sky is considering terminating its joint venture with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after accusations it is involved in broadcasting propaganda and genocide denial.
Sky is in talks with its partner in the UAE on Sky News Arabia over the potential termination next year of the licence to use its brand.
In 2010, Sky News struck a deal with IMI – the investment vehicle controlled by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the vice-president of the UAE and owner of Manchester City – to launch the 24-hour Arabic language news and current affairs service licensing the Sky brand.
Sky executives have become increasingly concerned over the position Sky News Arabia has taken on news in the region.
