Being lost
Published in Alriyadh on 14 - 07 - 2017

Qatar's crisis still persists because of the Qatari government's stubbornness which will ultimately take it to an unknown disastrous fate.
Since the start of the crisis, Qatar has lost way. Qatari officials act haphazardly. They take decisions based on hasty uncalculated reactions. They resort to illogical justifications. Although the demands of the countries calling for the combat of terrorism prove to be legitimate and are established with evidence beyond doubts, Qatar still insists on its position depending on old and renewed alliances. Thereby, Qatar tries to release itself from a crisis in which it has been trapped because of its own fault. Qatar pretends to forget that such alliances are temporary. They should have not been concluded unless such countries had found such alliances serving their own interests while the interest of Qatar is found nowhere in such alliances. The said countries seek to take advantage of the crisis to serve their own interests and then they will get rid of Qatar.
Qatar alone will harvest the negative outcome of its leadership's disorderly thinking. Sooner or later, the crisis will end. Nonetheless, its consequences will remain. There is no trust at all in the Qatari leadership in view of its negative practices dating back to more than twenty years ago. Numerous opportunities were given to Qatar to amend its pro-terrorist behavior, stop harboring terrorists and refrain from spreading the discourse of hatred and seditions. Every single item of the foregoing must lead to the boycotting of Qatar. What about them altogether?
Even the mediation efforts are still exerted in vain. They are echoed only with stubbornness, arrogance and sticking to the wrong path under fable pretexts including fore mostly 'sovereignty' as if Qatar alone possesses the right of sovereignty in a paradox leaving observers puzzled. Indeed, Qatar is experienced in contravening the sovereignty of other countries, whether the GCC members states or at the Arab level.
