“Tamim is the biggest plunderer; he is only interested in accumulating as much money as possible by meddling with state resources.” Sulaiti added, confirming that the continuation of Tamim’s leadership will thrust the whole nation into a dark tunnel.
Al-Murrah tribe
The tribal Sheikh Al-Murrah Taleb bin Muhammed Lahm bin Shraim has denounced Qatar for revoking his Qatari citizenship and that of other 55 members of the tribe in a video
Shraim has confirmed that Qatar has withdrawn their citizenships because his tribe has refused to insult Saudi Arabia especially the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, alongside with the Kingdom of Bahrain, when the Qatari regime asked them to.
A majority of tribe members were strong supporters of Sheikh Khalifa Al-Thani, the former Emir of Qatar who was deposed in 1995 in a coup by his son. Eight months after the coup, 119 Al-Murrah members attempted to overthrow the new Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Al-Thani, but failed.
Qatar has put many members of the Al-Murrah tribe in prison without trial, where they were subjected to torture and humiliation, and others were prevented from entering the country for long periods, which led to them dropping their nationalities.
Ruling family shaken from within
A prominent member of Qatar’s ruling family, and former Qatari foreign minister, Sheikh Sultan bin Suhaim repeated calls for a national meeting of elders of the ruling family to put an end to the current rift, that “[we] can no longer remain quiescent towards it.
Appearing on Sky News, bin Suhaim lamented the “proliferation of foreign troops in Doha” to vindicate the Qataris from their Arab siblings, calling Qataris to stand up against foreign intervention in their homeland.
Because of mistakes made by the Qatari government, he said, “I have all fears that the Qatari identity will be linked to terrorism.”
On Sunday, a day before Sheikh Sultan’s statement, the Qatari royal family member Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali Al-Thani issued a statement published on his official Twitter account regarding the current political crisis in the Arab Gulf region calling for the same demands.

“Qatar, Global Security and Stability” conference in London
On Thursday, Qatari opposition figures inaugurated the “Qatar, and Global Security and Stability” Conference that saw the attendance of members of parliamentarians and former state officials from different countries, who have dusted off the crimes and violations committed by the ever-encroaching Qatari regime.
Kahled Al Hail, an exiled Qatari opposition figure revealed that the Qatari regime attempted to inhibit the conference, accusing the ruling family of corruption, especially regarding the millions of dollars that Qatar splurged on World Cup venues.
Al Hail accused Iran of smuggling drugs into Qatar, which opened its markets for Iran and Turkey following the boycotting and embargoing decisions of the quartet countries.
British Member of Parliament (MP), Daniel Kawczynski, said that terrorism funding cannot happen without the knowledge of governments, and that the west realizes that local entities in the Middle East fund terror.
“We do not like the fact that Qatar supports Al Nusra Front in Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. It is allied with Iran, which claims that Bahrain is part of its territories. It supports the Houthis in Yemen,” American businessman Dov Zakheim, who served in the Reagan administration at the Department of Defense, said.
Lord Paddy Ashdown, Ambassador Bill Richardson, Iain Duncan Smith, John Simpson, Jamie Rubin, General Chuck Wald, Brigadier General Shlomo Brom, Dov Zakheim and MP Daniel Kawczynski joined leading Middle East commentators and members of the Qatari opposition to debate the past, present and likely future of Qatar.
