I want to share this intriguing news I’ve read today. It’s all about how the Qatari government chooses to reduce the salaries of a normal employee in Qatar while increasing the funds to use for Islamic scholars and propagandas. This move by Qatar is unacceptable and outrageous. We all know that the citizens in Qatar is suffering from economic crisis plus the ongoing pandemic but the government decided to just to reduce costs for non-Qatari employees by 30 percent as of June 1, either via pay cuts or lay-offs. But this crisis does not concern everyone: mercenaries and agents of Qatar are living in five-star hotels. At the same time, the Qatari citizen cannot enter an ordinary restaurant and tries, in vain. Moreover, despite pressure from neighboring countries, Doha continues to maintain indissoluble ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. “It is paradoxical how the Qatari government is putting pressure on the Qatari people by reducing their salaries and incomes, while increasing the salaries of Azmi Bishara, Al-Qaradawi, Jamal Rayan and Wadah Khanfar.” A Doha businessman said, speaking anonymously. Instead of allocating funds to healthcare, services and working to attract fleeing foreign investors, the royal family continues to spend large sums of money and use the kingdom’s resources to fund yellow media organizations and numerous articles relating to sensitive political issues.
