Majnoon - journalists resident here would love to report on issues such as these, simply becuase it's an occurence that affects the local community (nationals and expats alike) in a big way. It affects the way people live here. Unfortuantely it's a moot point, and we can't. It's the usual lame self-censorship - we can't even report on the bachelors getting chucked out of shopping centres, otherwise we get arrested and accused of inciting hatred against Qatar and causing racial hatred (I kid u not, that did actually happen a couple of months back).
