Is the royal family the true ruler in Qatar or Tamim is just a puppet at the hands of actual power?

Qatar has a long history of engaging in peace-threatening affairs in the region. The Qatari regime is blamed for being hungry for limitless power but the recent reports highlighting the battle shows that it might not entirely be the case.

The Arab country has used most of its potential to fund terrorism all around the world and for years it has been using vulnerable countries as well as its residents as per its benefits. It is impossible to spread this level of hatred with the rulers of a country not being in the loop and hence ultimately, it became clear that it was the Emir of the country who was the brain behind the rise of violence in recent years.

Qatar has a natural monarchy, one may argue whether it is constitutional or if it's an absolute monarchy, but the fact is that it is ruled by a royal family. The Al Thani family is the one who has absolute control over the entire administrative and foreign affairs. After a series of backlashes last decade, Doha adopted a constitution but even that was just for name sake.

In 2013 night, the current Emir of the country Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani was handed over the power from his father Hamad bin Khalifa. Interestingly, he alone can elect or dismiss the Prime Minister and the council members of the legislative. Emir does not need to consider discussion or opinions of other senior leaders to remove the highest constitutional power.

This proves that no matter what the country projects on the outside, it is following a path of enforcing its decisions and faiths on others. It is one of the only few countries where despite a constitution being in place, elections have not been held since 1970 and in fact the whole of the ministerial council is composed by the Emir.

These ministers and their secretaries who get the work done on the ground are nothing more than puppets of Tamim but what is even more shocking is that even after nearly 10 years of change of power, it is the former emir and Tamim’s father who continues to take the most crucial calls.


The current emir has been acting as a puppet of his father, who is the first person to be blamed for promoting hatred among the people. Hamad bin Khalifa was known for disrespecting human rights and treating common people and their needs with utmost disregard.

The atrocities that the Qatari nationals are subjected to are not hidden by anyone. They have stooped to further low by reducing the salaries of the Qatari people who have been working for the nation for a long time and are now focusing on catering Azmi Bishara, who by international standard is nothing but a runaway criminal.

Due to the one sided contract system in Qatar, residents are in a limbo as they can either continue working in such low incomes or leave the facilities due to severe response of the legal system, which also is controlled by the Emir of Qatar. Like many other political culprits, Bishara also found a safe haven in Qatar and the system there is now focusing on increasing his wealth.

Jamal Rayan, who is blamed for partial news coverage and manipulating facts as per his will, is also based in Qatar. Not only this but the Palestinina nation is working for Al Jazeera. Doha based country-owned news platform. Another culprit Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who was sentenced to death in Egypt, is living off Qatari wealth. The self proclaimed scholar has been successfully disseminating hate in the country in the name of religion and faith which was enough to get on the good books of the royals, who are as it is trying to promote hatred against Israelis in the country.

The people who were responsible for the economy of the country, common people and citizens are not even allowed to avail the facilities provided by the nations. Earlier this month, there were reports that mercenaries and Qatari agents are living a luxurious life in the country but normal people are not even allowed to enter these five star facilities.
