Oh, the brotherly countries are having another spat, are they? That's usually why they print these things in their papers. I believe the Arabic expression is "unleashing the dogs", which gives a fair reflection of the Arab view of the Press.

With Sheikh Khalifa safely on-side in Qatar, it is hard to see what support Abdelaziz is supposed to have. I presume this is just one of the anti-Qatar articles in Arab News.

If you remember, since that article, Qatar and Saudi kissed and made up, clearing all misunderstandings ... which makes it interesting that the site is still blocked.

Enigma, internet censorship can differ depending on your connection and whether you have a business or private account.

The reason it is blocked become self-evident when you see a letter which was published at the end of October 2008:
