Conditions here are almost as bad if not even worse. The Gulf states have been built on what is pretty much bonded labor. The companies that bring these hapless people over are mostly owned by wealthy sheikhs, thus making them practically untouchable. The embassies of the countries are fairly spineless and rarely protest openly.
ironic, a country like India is the biggest buyer or will be, of Qatari gas, yet their citizens are treated like slaves. perhaps the government should say something like we won't buy your gas unless you treat our workers like human beings.
We all remember how Qatar bragged about how they pulled off the Asian Games. But how many Qataris wereout there doing manual labor to build stadiums and whatever? Compare that to say sydney or athens, where actaul citizens were out ther doing the hard work and can rightfully claim their respectives as THEIR success.
