The world's attention has been on Qatar in recent days, after seven countries, especially in the Middle East, cut off diplomatic ties after being accused of supporting extremism and terrorism.
Qatar has been a key player, both regionally and globally, in recent years, marked by the success of the country hosting the 2022 World Cup.
Beyond that, the state-owned Al-Jazeera television station, established itself as one of the leading international media.
In politics, Qatar seeks to become the main sponsor of peace talks between the rival parties in Afghanistan.
This condition was clearly different some decades ago, where Qatar was then one of the poorest areas of the Gulf.

Several decades ago, Qatar was nothing more than a fisherman's territory that entered the British protectorates. The country became independent in 1971 and soon discovered one of the largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) reserves in the world, number three after Russia and Iran.

Receipts from oil and gas make the country's average per capita income more than US $ 100,000, far beyond the United States or the United Kingdom.

Coupled with traffic congestion, it can be understood if the citizens of the city become stressed and increasingly impatient.

Several decades ago Qatar was a fishing area, now one of the richest countries in the world thanks to the acceptance of LNG exports.
According to local media, about 40% of marriages in Qatar end in divorce. More than two thirds of people, adults and children, are overweight.
Some circles are also concerned about the generation gap because now almost all children are raised by nannies from Indonesia, the Philippines, or Nepal.
