ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
NIGERIADOMINANT ANGLE
Abuja weighs how the UAE's exit reshapes Nigeria's own position in a weakened cartel
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Abuja craint qu'un OPEC fragmenté ne soit plus capable de défendre les prix planchers dont le budget nigérian est structurellement dépendant
- •Le Nigéria produit bien en dessous de sa capacité — une baisse des prix compenserait difficilement les volumes manquants
- •La perspective africaine sur les effets de débordement de la fracture OPEC reste absente des autres couvertures
BIASES
Cadrage national-anxieux qui occulte la capacité du Nigéria à diversifier ses revenusAngle presque exclusivement économique, sans dimension géopolitique
PAKISTANDOMINANT ANGLE
Islamabad reads the UAE's exit as the end of Arab solidarity and a signal of alliance realignment across the region
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Dawn reads the UAE exit as a repositioning vis-à-vis Riyadh — Abu Dhabi now wants equal standing with Saudi Arabia, refusing to play second fiddle
- •Anwar Gargash, UAE presidential advisor, publicly called the Arab and Gulf response to Iranian attacks 'the weakest in history' — an explicit political rupture signal
- •Dawn embeds the departure in OPEC's history as an instrument of Global South defense against Western oil markets: the fracture marks the end of producers' collective solidarity
