Qatari Liberation Front demands army to ‘save the country’

Cairo – 7 June 2017: The Qatari Liberation Front issued statement, Wednesday, demanding the Qatari army to step in the current political situation and to ‘save the country and confront Al-Hamad government.’

“Doha government is not a legitimate political system anymore, and that the army should step in to save the country from corruption, and stop the ‘unjustified arresting campaigns’ launched by the government since more than a week,” the statement said
On Monday, following the escalating events between Qatar and the Gulf States, the Liberation Front published a statement saying that Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, is not considered anymore the country Emir, and that he lost his legitimacy.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Libya and Yemen decided to cut all diplomatic ties with Qatar for its “continuous support for terrorism,” closing their airspace and seaports for Qatari transportation, on Monday.

Tensions between Qatar and the other Arab states started after Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani directed a message to four Arab countries in which he attacked Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE for their attitudes towards Iran.

The Liberation Front does not have a lot of history regarding the Qatari politics; however the statement issued with the Front’s name was originally published on the Facebook account of an Egyptian, Qatari-Based journalist called Nagi Abbas according to sputnik news, Tuesday.
