Well summed up!
We weren't affected quite so badly on the night shift as Darax is reasonably quiet compared to the day shifts now with the heavy Island traffic and other non-sked Afghan, Iranian and former Soviet State traffic.
This one is a hot potato and I understand there may be limited dialogue until January when there is a conference in Cairo ....we'll see.
I guess the message to all concerned is please understand the complications we are now faced with and be patient. We (ATC in Dubai and UAE) are doing our best with a bad situation.
