SAUDI ARABIA LEAD COALISTION BULLYING QATAR

SAUDI ARABIA LEAD COALISTION BULLYING QATAR

Qatar have continued to receive more pressure from Saudi Arabia Coalition group, consisting of UAE, Egypt & Bahrain on top of the already forced embargos.

It has been stated that they have been given thirteen demands that the Saudi Arabian Coalition (SAC) wish them to meet. When you actually read the demands, it becomes evident that the SAC is trying to flex its muscle and take control of its neighbouring sovereign state of Qatar through bully tactics.

They demands are actually are contradictive to say the least. They indicate that the Sovereign State is funding and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic Terrorist organisations. They wish to take Al Jazeera News Channel out of service as it is seen as a platform for the brotherhood to raise their voice. In addition, they do not want Turkey to be based in the region and want the Sovereign State to stop talking to its neighbour state Iran.

If you take all this into consideration with the ongoing issues in the Middle East and have spent time in the regions. Then it would become no surprise to hear and is evident that every one of the countries in the region support the Islamic extremist groups one way or another. Saudi Arabia with the support of the Americans have been supporting the extremist groups for years, they actually brought the extremist groups to the world stage and give them the voice in the first place.

If you have every visited the UAE, then you would know that this is SIN City of the Islamic world, it is a bit like Ibiza on steroids. If they had an opportunity to build casinos they would, however, that would be step to far. Ask the question, how does this country get away with braking every code that extremists despise and is based on the western world values. A majority of the Saudi people, who are governed by strict laws based on the faith use UAE as their paradise to go and drink and fornicate. They have never been targeted by any extremist groups, why is this, could funding have a part to play or protection.

Again the construction of the UAE, especially Dubai was fuelled by the people of the neighbour across the water known as Iran, as well as the Russians. They brought their monies into the UAE and there has been a lot of trade done in the past and probably continuing today with Iran, nothing has been said. So, this coalition need to stop flexing their muscles.

The only thing that is evident here, is Qatar has been open with its views and actually not hiding behind smoke and mirrors as the SAC continue to do.

Out of all the countries surrounding Saudi Arabia, the only country that could probably continue without any financial assistance from Saudi Arabia is Qatar, all the other countries that have took the side of Saudi Arabia need some sort of financial insurance and need to stay close and not speak out.

Unfortunately, Qatar is being lead and growing under the current Emir (Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani) and his family. They continue to grow and could become a new global power in the Middle East that the Saudi Arabia does not desire, they have started to set their own policies for growth of their nation and people. They have not supressed their women or inflicted heartache on their people of Qatar.

Remember, Al Saud Family was brought to power by an Islamic Scholar and the doctored Islamic faith of Wahhabism, they aim to continue the domination of the Middle East and cannot be seen having a neighbouring sovereign state speaking out and stepping out of their rules.

The demands they have put across and a ten day ultimatum to act, is absurd to say the least. Reading the demands actually just emphasises that Saudi Arabia wants control over its neighbouring sovereign state and wants to control the media in the region to ensure the people continue to follow their rules.

Now let’s be honest, a majority of the countries around the globe are guilty of financing the extremist groups around the world. Actually, the Syria conflict, the US & Alliances must be still supporting the extremist groups, who form the rebel forces fighting the Sovereign State forces in Syria, as US is still supplying arms to the rebel forces.

The 13 demands in full

  1. Curb diplomatic ties with Iran and close its diplomatic missions there. Expel members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and cut off any joint military cooperation with Iran. Only trade and commerce with Iran that complies with US and international sanctions will be permitted. Iran have been locked out of the global trade for many years by the US Sanctions. However, everyone is trading with them one way or another behind closed doors. Let’s support diplomatic talks and paving ways forward for a better world and open up trade
  2. Sever all ties to “terrorist organisations”, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State, al-Qaida and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Formally declare those entities as terrorist groups. These so-called terrorist organisations, were breed and formed by the Saudi Arabia Ruling family, who are the terrorist groups, if there are possibilities to bring an end to these continued wars then let someone take the lead. Remember the Saudi Arabian, UAE and other regions see them as a threat to their power and wealth, as it ideologically opposes hereditary rule. Unfortunately, these so called royal families in the middle east were leading families in the geographical area and appointed many years ago as head governs
  3. Shut down al-Jazeera and its affiliate stations. WHY, because they give the clear view of what is really going on in the world and not the propaganda that Saudi Arabia wants to spread, because they oppose the policies of the Saudi Arabian Government
  4. Shut down news outlets that Qatar funds, directly and indirectly, including Arabi21, Rassd, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed and Middle East Eye. Again why, they are a news channel that are regulated and freedom of information should be supported and encouraged.
  5. Immediately terminate the Turkish military presence in Qatar and end any joint military cooperation with Turkey inside Qatar. Turkey are a member of NATO, there should be more cooperation with defence forces, it poses no threat as they are in an alliance with NATO Forces
  6. Stop all means of funding for individuals, groups or organisations that have been designated as terrorists by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, the US and other countries. Who are the designated terrorists, they are continued to be funded by the stated countries, and it is known fact that nobody actually knows, which group is supported by who.
  7. Hand over “terrorist figures” and wanted individuals from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain to their countries of origin. Freeze their assets, and provide any desired information about their residency, movements and finances. What evidence is there on the individuals implicating that they are terrorists. Just because a country states they are a terrorist does not make them a terrorist. What is the evidence and case to freeze assets and deport, this was done during the invasion of Iraq & Afghanistan. Thousands were flown to Guantánamo Bay as terrorist and released as no evidence.
  8. End interference in sovereign countries’ internal affairs. Stop granting citizenship to wanted nationals from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain. Revoke Qatari citizenship for existing nationals where such citizenship violates those countries’ laws. If citizens are fleeing their mother countries and seeking asylum in another country then reason must be asked why. This is contradictive to say the least, as all the neighbouring countries mentioned have interfered with the sovereign state of Qatar
  9. Stop all contacts with the political opposition in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain. Hand over all files detailing Qatar’s prior contacts with and support for those opposition groups. This just indicates that the Sovereign State Leaders are concerned that their potential powers are in the balance as people they represent are unhappy with their continued reign and there are opposition willing to speak out and challenge the continued leadership. Continued talks should be encouraged with the political opposition, as it would assist and encourage the leaders to change their ways for the better of their people they represent
  10. Pay reparations and compensation for loss of life and other, financial losses caused by Qatar’s policies in recent years. The sum will be determined in coordination with Qatar. This seems to be just a cheeky demand, considering the loss caused by Saudi Arabia & America Polices since 1944 and use of the extremist groups in 1981 in Afghanistan
  11. Consent to monthly audits for the first year after agreeing to the demands, then once per quarter during the second year. For the following 10 years, Qatar would be monitored annually for compliance.
  12. Align itself with the other Gulf and Arab countries militarily, politically, socially and economically, as well as on economic matters, in line with an agreement reached with Saudi Arabia in 2014.
  13. Agree to all the demands within 10 days of it being submitted to Qatar, or the list becomes invalid.

Item 11 & 12 is ridiculous the Sovereign State of Qatar, has done nothing different to any other state in the Middle East or across the globe. A country should be run for the best of its people, if the policies of neighbouring countries are not acceptable then a country should not be bullied into submission. It seems that the policies agreed in 2014 was to the benefit of one country in the Middle East, times change and policies change. Unfortunately, if a country is growing and establishing policies to better its people and they do not align with the agreements then they should be punished but the other countries. If they take the lead then the other countries should sit and learn from them and work with them.

US President Donald Trump has openly stated the US is neutral, let’s be honest here, he is playing games and stoking the fire from behind the scene. His loyalty is towards Saudi Arabia camp.

The biggest funder for the terrorists, unfortunately has been Saudi Arabia and US, tens of billions has been spent on the doctrine of Islam known as Wahhabism by Saudi Arabian Royal Family. Which is not the true word of Prophet Muhammad as passed down by Allāh.

Then you have the US supplying rebel forces weapons in the conflict in Syria as they did in the other conflicts, which end up being used to kill their own and allied forces troops.

It seems there is a big brother syndrome in place here, this could be escalated and this term “War on Terrorism” & “Terrorist” is used to bring people and countries inline needs to stop. It is bullying, no wonder the only leaders not really bending over to these continued tactics is Russia and China, who need to step in and support Qatar. If you do not bend to the Policies of the United States or Saudi Arabia, it seems the Western World will all come against you. Unfortunately, no difference to the tactics bullies participate in the school play yard.

Maybe time for the new elected Saudi Arabian Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to actually sit with the Qatar Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and talk about the future. As Saudi Arabia has a young population and will need to develop the country for them, unfortunately change is on the cards for the region but this bully tactics is not the way forward.
