Qatar’s Ambassador to Brazil, Mohammed bin Ahmad Al Haiki, stressed that the strategy of the siege countries to suffocate Qatar economically and politically has failed and reached a dead end. He added that now was the time for the countries to track back and take a rational approach to the current GCC crisis.
Al Haiki said in an interview with Correio Braziliense that the demands of the siege countries cannot be implemented, adding that the siege countries must listen to the wise voices such as those of the State of Kuwait and the Sultanate of Oman. He stressed that conditions now favour Qatar, whose efforts were based on honesty in contrast to the besieging parties who built their position on fabrications.
He said that they directed many bad accusations but failed to offer one piece of evidence to support their claims, stressing that campaigns based on lies and fabrications cannot last long without being uncovered. The ambassador noted that the siege countries retracted their 13 dictations that violated international law and an infringed on Qatar’s sovereignty.
The ambassador added that their intentions were not to counter terrorism, because terrorism found fertile ground in the countries accusing Qatar
of it.
