Saudi Arabia gives Qatar an ultimatum

67
The diplomatic scandal between Qatar and the countries that broke off official diplomatic relations with Doha the other day continues. The first statements appeared about what needs to be done by Qatar so that these countries reestablish their previous contacts with it.

Saudi Arabia gives Qatar an ultimatum


So, Saudi Arabia pushes 10 conditions immediately to Qatar, demanding that they be fulfilled within 24 hours - until tonight. Among the conditions are the breakdown of diplomatic relations with official Tehran, the refusal of financial assistance to the Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood movements (banned in the Russian Federation), the freezing of their accounts, and the expulsion of representatives of these organizations from the country.

Another requirement for Qatar is the need to change the information policy of the TV channel Al-Jazeera. In Riyadh, which previously closed the office of this TC in Saudi Arabia, they consider that Al-Jazeera conducts activities that are directed against the interests of the countries of the Persian Gulf. The conditions are formulated in a peculiar ultimatum format.

Against this background, it became known that the number of countries that broke off contacts with Qatar is growing. These countries now include the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. According to the representative of the Mauritanian Foreign Ministry, the state took this step due to the fact that it does not support the foreign policy of Qatar, which deals with the financing of international terrorist groups.

Recall that on the eve of the American media published an article stating that, in fact, "Qatar did not finance the militants, but ransomed representatives of the family of the Emir from hostages." The amount of "ransom" of those who went on falconry to the south of Iraq was 1 billion dollars.

        In December 2015, militants abducted Qatari hunters with falcons from a hunting camp in the Najaf desert in the southwest of the province of the same name near the border with Saudi Arabia. Almost immediately, officially unverified information appeared that among the abducted were members of the ruling family in Qatar. Negotiations on the release of the hostages lasted more than a year and ended with an agreement on the following conditions: the Qatar authorities pay $ 1 billion in exchange for 26 members of the royal family, as well as 50 militants captured by jihadists in Syria. After the transfer of funds, the hostages were transferred to the Ambassador of Qatar in Iraq.

        Not a Christian position. Do you want blood and slaughter between countries? Yes, I want more? Oh well, God will judge you.
        Then I remind you that Russia is now developing active cooperation with Qatar in the field of energy resources, just a couple of days before these events, some sort of agreement was reached.
        As for me, I don’t want blood for anyone, just don’t touch Russia. But wishing war to others, we will not become better.

                  It seems that the Saudis simply decided to crush Qatar, which has manifested itself over the past decades, for its excessive independence. Easy money got around the kids, so they decided to prove themselves as a player.

                    in my opinion, there is also a crisis in the Saudi economy, as well as a defeat in foreign policy. The current Saudi monarch needs at least some victory, he will establish himself.

                      And this is also possible.
                      But I think that without problems in foreign and domestic politics, the Saudis would do that.
                      Trump's visit, approval of the supply of arms from the United States ... In fact, the Americans showed Saudi Arabia that they needed it at the moment. So the monarch decided to put into operation all the little things in the region, choosing as the boy to beat the most arrogant and at the same time the richest.

                      Another thing, it is still unknown how the United States will react to this ... "I am so mysterious" (c). You can ask Saddam and Saakashvili on the topic "I misunderstood the signals from Washington."
                      For Saddam, this "misunderstanding" turned out to be fatal. After all, he was sure that he had received carte blanche from the Americans to capture Kuwait, from which, in fact, the problems that led him to the gallows began

              The USA needs peace and tranquility there. There are hydrocarbons, there are their military bases that control the transportation of hydrocarbons ...
              You have noticed how loyally the United States reacted to the suppression by Saudi Arabia with the allies of all the processes of the "Arab Spring" in the region. At the same time, actively supporting similar ones in other regions, even his longtime and devoted ally, Hosni Mubarak, did not regret it ...

              I got the impression that the US is in some kind of prostration from the escapades of the Saudis. Otherwise, the flywheel of pressure from them on Qatar would long ago have begun to unwind, at least information pressure. In general, such sudden movements are not at all in their style.

              Yes, and they used to play a dominant role, and not as it is now in this case.

                I completely agree with this. But I have this thought: is there an attempt of mattresses to apply the principle of "divide and conquer" in this region? To quarrel countries among themselves, maintaining control over hydrocarbons and preventing direct armed confrontation due to the presence of their bases? Just in their style.

                  On the contrary, they need a "Sunni monolith" in the region as a counterweight to Iran. To which the Trump administration is far more hostile than the Obama regime.
                  After all, it is not a fact that when it becomes necessary to invade Iran, the Americans will be able to encourage European allies to participate in such an adventure. Unless the Poles are with the Baltic states, but there is little sense in those. 8))).
                  And "in one snout" the Americans got out of the habit of fighting. By the way, that’s why they saturate the Sunni countries of the region with modern weapons, not paying attention to their absolute undemocracy and the real financing of terrorism. Including the September 11th attack.

This means that the Saudi-Qatari massacre will be initiated. If the Saudis, by the way owning 6% of the US assets fall apart and disappears, then the Yankees will be very happy.

      Middle East experts have long called the small, but very rich Qatar, among the main sponsors of radical groups, including the IG. However, similar accusations are being made against Saudi Arabia, which is now acting as the main prosecutor. But the Saudis clearly do not set the task of changing the policy of Qatar. Rather, they simply simply emotionally take the dirty linen out of the hut: personal enmity between the emir of Qatar and the Saudi royal house, which has reached the limit, also affects. ”

      Saudi Arabia handed over 100 million Saudi riyals to terrorists to continue the killing of the Syrian people.

      According to the Syrian information portal Ajel, the king of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abd al-Aziz, issued a decree to start a campaign to collect aid for the Syrian people throughout the country. At the same time, about 100 million Saudi rials collected to help Syrian refugees were spent on the purchase of weapons and military equipment for terrorists.
      According to a statement issued by the Kingdom’s administration, the successor to Saudi Arabia, Muhammad bin Naif and Minister of Defense Muhammad bin Salman, contributed 10 and 8 million Saudi riyals, respectively, during the course of the company.
      Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, Saudi Arabia has, under the guise of humanitarian aid, handed over various types of weapons and military equipment to terrorist groups in Syria.
      Recently, the Syrian army during the operation to liberate the city of Aleppo from terrorists found and confiscated a large number of weapons and medicines from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
      Saudi Arabia has also attempted to supply Grad systems and missile launchers to terrorists in Syria. Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adele al-Jubeyr, prior to the liberation of Aleppo, said that Saudi Arabia could provide missile defense terrorists and the necessary military equipment. "So, as mentioned above, they are all one field of berry."

      Ah yes the Arabs! Well done. So I want to say - but you won’t fight laughing Sudden outburst of righteous anger - Shiites paid more! The main question is how to pay? Well, not in cash (10 tons of paper!). Qatar has something to regret and think about. Its very existence as an independent state is a big question!

      Qatar is blown away and does everything, he has no other choice.

      --------------------------
      And why should he be blown away? Doha has a large American base. Well cuties pour, then make up. Normal: I don’t see any heroes ready to bomb Qatar.

        It is not for nothing that the Saudis and KO asked the United States to withdraw its base from Qatar. So they hope for a military solution.

        And why bomb, enough to block the air, which has already been done. Including food supplies that Qatar does not produce in quantities sufficient for food and the population, and many migrant workers

      “Qatar did not finance militants, but redeemed representatives of the emir’s family from hostages”
      Yeah, not financing. As the Caucasus did not finance in the 90s. And, is this "buying back" for a lot of money, is there any financing?

        Right It is necessary to support Qatar. To us, unlike the United States, discord in the region is beneficial.
        And if the locals also start shaking with arms muscles, then oil will go to growth, which is also very, very good ...
