Check this Kuwait rocket program. Maybe once this advances it can get funding and become pan Arab launch vehicle. It can also cater to African market if succesful.
Kuwait’s Space Rocket
The Kuwait Space Rocket ( KSR ) is a suborbital launch vehicle to be developed and launched in Kuwait. The project will be the first step towards starting a space industry in the country and a launch service provider in the GCC region.
In a time period of two years we aim to test and successfully launch KSR up to 100 km in the atmosphere, This launch will be a historical first for the GCC. Our plan is to develop KSR to be a suborbital research platform, and then afterwards use it as a stepping stone to develop a smallsat launch provider.
Hopefully they get sufficient funding, this looks more like indigenous program than the UAE one, am I correct?
