Suspicion about Afghan evacuee having links with ISIS, Daesh grow in Qatar

  Qatar has been excelling in turning things in its favor for years. Despite the certain thing   possessing a threat in the region, Qatar remains adamant about having to fetch out benefits from a particular resource and exploit it to the maximum and it has become even more evident in the last few days. Seeking shelter, many Afghan refugees flew to Qatar and plan to stay there till some other permanent arrangements are not made. In the name of giving them facilities, Qatar merely gave them a tent, where hundreds of people were asked to use one washroom. Not only does this highlight human rights violations in the country but also the inhumane approach Qatar is capable of taking against people. Even now, when reports about some of the Afghan evacuees having link with terror bodies like ISIS and Daesh came into the picture, one would assume that Qatar will take some calls keeping the safety of the region in mind but on the contrary, the country is focused towards finding ways ...

Qatar under scanner after Washington Examiner expose`, America discreetly moves up its investigation

After a massive Washington Examiner expose about Qatar terror funding, America has chosen to stand still and did not refute the claims of Qatar funding the Iranian Revolutionary Guards with the state department earlier launching an inquiry into an Israeli government report revealing details about the funding activity. Iranian Revolutionary Guards are classified as a terrorist organization operating in the Middle East region and despite the United States revealing the threats that the organization possesses in the country, the emir of Qatar has chosen to completely dismiss the commands and continued to fund the terror group. The state department had asserted that it is looking into the report and carrying out research about the allegations. On one hand, the US considers Qatar to be one of its allies but Qatar has been taking advantage of the trust of the United States and using it to its convenience to spread hatred and violence in the region. But this time America seems to be taking th...

Qatar silently increases regional damages caused by its activities. What is it hiding?

  The Middle East for years has been a controversial geographical region. From regional disputes to militant activities and to state funded terrorism, everythig collectively moved towards destroying the peace of the region. One of the major reasons why this belt keeps getting way more attention than other regions is the resources it shows off. There is no doubt that the area is rich--both in terms of wealth and land. But given the blessing it has, some nations try to bring peace to the region and extend a helping hand to the more vulnerable communities while the others believe in power. On top the last of the power hungry rulers is Qatar. Qatar is notorious for its behaviour in the region that has often led to increase in violence and human rights abuses in the region. And it is only fair that given the current circumstances that the world takes stand and refuses to turn a blind eye towards Qatar and take a step that curbs the violent activities it has been doing. The power o...

Qatar gifts an airbus to Iran’s president-elect hoping to further strengthen ties

  Ebrahim Raisi is Iran’s newly elected president despite his records and history, some of the countries have come out to support his leadership and maintain diplomatic ties. But one of the most shocking gestures shown is by Qatar. The Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Than has gifted an Airbus A380 aircraft to the newly elected president-elect of Iran. The move is a sign that Qatar wants to build a healthy relationship with Iran and its newly elected president but this is contrary to what the official of Qatar suggested earlier. They had pointed out that since the name of Iran came into the state funded terrorisms list, it has limited its ties with the country. Iran was called out for supporting violence in the region and creating an atmosphere of unrest in the country. Qatar too was dragged into the matter and since then remained strict towards the country. But now, this gesture shown by the Emir of Qatar proves that there is not even the slightest truth in this. Qata...

Qatar continues funding Palestinian terror and anti-Israel groups

  A ton of reports have suggested earlier that Qatar has been funding anti-Israel groups and encouraging Palestinian terror in the conflicted zone. But despite a lot of regional pressure, Doha is continuing to support such extreme sentiments towards a community.   Qatar had always stood against Israel and gone to great lengths to do anything to harm the Jewish state. It was only last month when the Department of the Education revealed that the Arab country had made undisclosed donations to Cornell, Georgetown, Harvard, Yale and several other universities.   But what was noticeable difference in these donations was its irregularity. The irregularity was further highlighted by Institute for study of Global Anti-Semitism and Policy, who stepped into the process on motivation from the federal government who also already taken a lot of these irregularities in the donations.   The study was conducted to highlight the source of campus anti -Israel activism and analyses the ...

  Qatar authorities have released a statement saying that they have identified the parents of the baby found near a garbage tin in an Airport in Qatar. The matter received a lot of attention worldwide because the Qatari authorities were accused of sexually assaulting women belonging from different nationalities and especially triggered people in Australia. More than a dozens of women were invasively searched in the airport where the Qatari authorities found an abandoned baby and targeted women from around 10 flights and examined them without their consent to identify if they were the ones to leave the baby behind.   On Monday, a statement released by the Qatari prosecutor read that an unspecified number of Qatar airport staff and authorities were detained for carrying out these examinations. These authorities can be charged with sentences up to three years in prison. As for the identity of the mother, the prosecutor revealed that she has been charged with attempt to murd...

Qatar continues to neglect the violence on domestic workers

  It has been over a decade that allegations on Qatar over neglecting the health and safety of domestic workers and it was only in the year 2017 that Qatar passed a law to safeguard the interests of these workers but does it make any difference? There are tons of media reports that have suggested that Qatar is doing nothing to prevent this treatment towards domestic employers. In a report by Amnesty International , close to 40 women have on record said that they have faced physical and verbal abuse. The extent of these abuses includes degrading treatment, shouting and insults. One of the domestic workers said, “Madam will say ‘[you are] a monster, I will cut your tongue’. I am scared. She will tell me ‘I will kill you’, always bad words. I am only a [maid], and I can’t do anything.” Atrocities like spitting, beating, kicking and punching are way too common in these households, said another worker. “Madam started shouting at all [the maids]… she started spitting on us and slap...
