Dream is correct...if you read the Peninsula you will also see that they are refusing and removing expats from Independent schools to make room for the locals. This is not unusual and should not be unexpected. I have not heard of any expats being invited to stay forever. We are here to fill a gap in the workforce that the Qataris hope to fill with their own citizens just as the Saudis started doing back in 2000. It sounds like the Gravy Train has reached the station.
