Thousands Qatari welcome back Sheikh in show of unity

Thousands of people gathered in central Doha to welcome back the emir of Qatar following his trips in Europe and the UN General Assembly, in a show of unity in the wake of a nearly four-month diplomatic crisis in the Gulf.

Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani returned to the Qatari capital on Sunday after concluding his first foreign trip since the major crisis erupted on June 5 when a Saudi-led group of Arab countries cut ties with Qatar and imposed a land, sea and air blockade on it.

The show of unity was also aimed at refuting rumours from other Gulf media outlets that Qataris are looking for a change of leadership.

"This display of passion and patriotic fervour among the Qataris is really quite unprecedented," Ahelbarra said.
