'Qatar Stronger Than the Blockade' released
'Qatar Stronger Than the Blockade', a book by Saleh bin Afsan al-Kuwari, Editor-in-Chief of local Arabic daily Arrayah, was launched at a ceremony in the newspaper's office Monday. The book is a compilation of the articles and editorials al-Kuwari has written since June 5 last year when a blockade was unjustly imposed on Qatar by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt.
In addition to the articles of al-Kuwari, the book contains cartoons and caricatures by Mohamed Abdullatif. The articles in the book expose and analyse the sinister plot against Qatar throughout the past year and the efforts to tarnish the reputation of the country and undermine its high standing. It also gave detailed commentaries on the real causes behind the unjust blockade and gave reasonable and logical responses to the attempts of the media of the blockading countries to spread rumours, which eventually failed in its mission as they were found to be fabricated and false.Speaking at the launch ceremony, the author pointed out that the book refutes all the claims posted against Qatar such as the country supports terrorism. It also deals with attempts of the siege countries to undermine the Qatari economy, the role of the blockading countries in separating joint GCC families and their attempts to create divisions and dissent among Qatari tribes.
