There’re other inherent issues in the gulf that are still blacked out or kept under wraps. At least Qatar is now coming out and allowing its media, including its local Arabic press, to criticize and shed light on long forgotten or taken-for-granted issues.
Media pressure is not to be taken lightly, but transition requires sponsors and time. Whether there is willingness or not, the only constant factor in life is change, the rally should be behind swift and just change, even if gradual.
Saudi pressured Egypt, last year, to sponsor and ratify a Media Control Charter, to guarantee a good image at all times. Aljazeera of Qatar slammed the Charter and so did the free press watchdog.
One of the few times I agree on anything with the Aljazeera.
Salam
