Saudia, Bahrain, UAE & Egypt cut diplomatic ties with Qatar

[idune]

Qatari intelligence had infiltrated the Yemeni government and the offices of Hadi and was leaking information about the Arab coalition to Iran, now that is perceived as abuse of friendship and even an act of conspiring with a perceived enemy state, namely Iran, that is how serious it is,,

stated reasons from these 4 countries are bunch of pure bs. Qatar had been funding terror goup as saudis since years now. Since, Qatar did not toe saudi line, it is being made an outcast. But still Oman, Kuwait did not say anything. Nonetheless, both Qatari and Saudis are involved in terror funding and sponsorship.

Al Saud is leading to Pan Pagan Arabism.

Breaking: Yemen severs its ties with Qatar .....

It seems the list is not complete yet.

Are you for real? Yemen is not a functioning country as saudis imposed war on them. How Yemen can maintain a tie with any country at the moment?

Yes they are our brothers, and you can see how both Saudis and Qataris reacted to the DECISION, no hostility between the people but some political differences and we believe this issue should be resolved ASAP. As you know it's better to place little economic sanction than firing missiles.

Right now I am seeing two outcomes.

1) Qatar falls by this action and mend there ways towards saud.
2) Qatar doesn't give up to pressure and feud accelerates to unprecedented level.

2nd one is more likely to me. If your kings can go that much further to cutting off ties out of the blue. I can only imagine what qatari king will do if his ego is hurt.

Four countries cut links with Qatar over 'terrorism' support

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of destabilising the region.

The countries say Qatar is supporting terrorist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Saudi state news agency SPA said Riyadh had closed its borders, severing land, sea and air contact with Qatar.

It cited officials as saying it was to "protect its national security from the dangers of terrorism and extremism".

Egypt has also closed its airspace and ports for all Qatari transportation, its foreign ministry said.

The United Arab Emirates has given Qatari diplomats 48 hours to leave the country. Abu Dhabi accuses Doha of "supporting, funding and embracing terrorism, extremism and sectarian organisations," state news agency WAM said.

Bahrain's state news agency said the country was cutting ties with Qatar because Doha was "shaking the security and stability of Bahrain and meddling in its affairs".

The Saudi-led Arab coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels also expelled Qatar from its alliance because of Doha's "practices that strengthen terrorism" and its support to groups "including al-Qaeda and Daesh [also known as the so-called Islamic State], as well as dealing with the rebel militias", according to SPA.

Qatar has provided its warplanes to carry out air strikes against the Houthi rebels.

Qatar has so far made no public comments on the latest developments.

The row comes almost two weeks after controversial comments attributed to the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, appeared online.

The government in Doha has dismissed them as fake, attributing the report to a "shameful cybercrime".

Hmmmm.....this might have a serious impact on Qatar's economy if this goes on for a long time. Both sides should calm down and sortg things out diplomatically. I'm sure a compromise can be reached.

 

[The SC]

Now add Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Tunisia and Pakistan, they have also cut their diplomatic relations with Qatar..
Some Europeans might follow suite, like France, Sweden, Greece, Armenia, Denmark and Belgium..

Hmmmm.....this might have a serious impact on Qatar's economy if this goes on for a long time. Both sides should calm down and sortg things out diplomatically. I'm sure a compromise can be reached.

Serious impact already stated to show:
After cutting off Egypt and the Gulf countries relations with Doha .. Qatar's stock market drops more than 6%

Few important factors, Qatar host US centcom and Turkish base(or to be). Saudis would not dare invasion like Bahrain. Besides, fault line is drawn and Saudi alliance is getting weaker by the day. Oman and Kuwait other GCC members so far kept quiet. UK after the terror attack, wants to put pressure in saudis. Trump got money he needs, US would not entangle itself in saudi led feud. Other regional elephants both Turkey and Iran (Iraq by extension) will lend support to Qatar. So, Qatar is not in any danger by any means. They just need to blow this over and correct itself from terror funding.

Qatar gets most of its food through Saudi Arabia, and you say Qatar is in no danger by any means..

in their mentality, NONE (including Qatar) of the GCC countries are at per with contemporary thinking.

 

[T-Rex]

I guess Qatar are the financiers of ISIS which also plays in favour of Iran. Qatar is doing the covert dirty work of Iran.

I am just guessing....

However this unravels I am more concerned about how this will impact pakistan ... hope we don't get caught in the middle of all this mess. Imagine a single missile from Qatar landing in Dubai... the entire castles build in sand will domino as foreigners who support that land run for the hills outta the region.

Saudi despots and their UAE minions funds Daesh and israel supplies weapons to them while Qatar supports MB and pro-democracy movement in Syria.

Qatar does not have to get food through saudis, it can import itself or other friendly countries can help them get it.

In fact, if Qatar plays its card right and get its act together, this will turn out to be cardinal mistake saudis have done.

 

[T-Rex]

Saudis and Emiratis really have a problem with Al Jazeera it seems, huh.

These scums have an aversion towards anything that might reveal the truth about their wicked life styles.

Thats true. But qatar is on the right track.
