Thank you for your insight & great inputs to this thread.

All me to clarify, when i wrote "everyone is replaceable" it was directed to those who thought they're doing us all a favor for being here.

when Qataris in some government corporation had their salaries deducted last year after the "general Secretariat of the ministers council" issued the unified HR law. Many Qataris threaten to leave and some of them in fact did left to other semi-private sector. This have not change the law or forced officials to amend it

Therefore, everyone is replaceable and that's including Qataris.

coming back to the main subject, It's clearly not a tit-for-tat as been assumed by many here, This could never be the government intention.
