Respect Qatars decision. They have accomodated you but now with World Cup, they have to stop for security or whatever reason. Dont go blaming Qatar, go find alternative to fly them elsewhere. They didnt coordinate? Neither did you

[mamamia]

anyone rationale enough should understand that this is temporary, Qatar is committed and will meet its commitment with its partner, now this partner should focus on stopping gun violence in their own soil otherwise these refugees who escaped safely from their war torn country find danger in what's supposed to be their sanctuary of peace...
