This. Lots of this.
Qatar used to be a poor British protectorate which was mainly a pearling community. Now, Qatar is the world’s richest country and is home to the world’s third-largest natural gas reserve. The tiny Arabian Peninsula has the highest per capita income in the world, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Besides its wealth, Qatar is home to Al Jazeera Network and is an influential player in the Arab world. Qatar is also preparing to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and will be the first Arab country in the world to host the event.
A number of powerful individuals including the Al Thani family, Qatar’s royal family, are behind Qatar’s great success and world status today.
The Al-Thanis are by far the most powerful family/tribe in Qatar. There is no other that comes even close to the power they wield. This of course doesn’t come as a surprise since they have been the ruling family since the 19th century. It is widely known in academia at least, that the only contenders ruling Al-Thanis need to be wary of are members and branches of their own family/tribe. Looking at either the economic or political spheres of influence reveals that Al-Thanis are in a league of their own.
Qatar’s royal family currently already owns more property in London than England’s royal family. Once completed, their new home is expected to be London’s most expensive, with an expected worth of £313 million.
The Thani family is the probably the only family that has been ruling a state without any conflicts with its people who are some of the wealthiest in the world.
THE HOUSE OF AL THANI: QATAR’S ROYAL FAMILY
The ruling family of Qatar, Al Thani, has been ruling the Arab Peninsula since before its independence from the British in 1971. The first Al Thani to rule Qatar was Sheikh Mohammed bin Thani in 1850. Until today, Qatar has been ruled by nine Al Thani sheikhs in this order:

Qatar is another cabal puppet state that needs to be dealt with. Why offer billions to victims of the Unkranian air crash when Qatar has nothing to do with it (unless the shooting down of eh airliner was FF event designed to foment war in the region.

Qatari prince guilty of child sex
A Qatari prince has been convicted in the Czech Republic of sexually abusing young girls and sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Hamid Bin Abdul Sani al-Thani was tried in Prague after a Czech judge turned down a request from Qatar to have him sent back home to face trial.
Al-Thani was found guilty of paying to have sex with four girls aged under 15 between 2001 and 2004.
He was arrested after one of the girls told her mother about the offer of sex.
Czech officials have admitted that the refusal to allow al-Thani to return to Qatar could strain relations between the two nations, which do not have an official extradition treaty.
Money for girls
Al-Thani has lived privately in the Czech Republic for 10 years and has no diplomatic immunity from prosecution.
Czech prosecutors accused him of arranging for young girls to be brought to his home for sex.
He allegedly paid three Czech women to offer girls on the street Kc2,000 ($84, ÂŁ46) to visit his apartment for sex.
The women, described by the presiding judge as "both guilty and victims", were allegedly paid Kc1,000 for each girl they provided.
Al-Thani was arrested last year and has spent 10 months in custody awaiting trial.
In April, Czech Justice Minister Pavel Nemec agreed to allow al-Thani to return to Qatar after receiving assurances he would face prosecution in his homeland.
But prosecutors objected and he was forced to stand trial in Prague.

Guilt money for a false flag event, possibly? Maybe they don't want to out the Qataris as the perps at this point.
Likelihood?
The ASM-135 ASAT is an air-launched anti-satellite multistage missile that was developed by Ling-Temco-Vought's LTV Aerospace division. The ASM-135 was carried exclusively by United States Air Force (USAF) F-15 Eagle fighter aircraft.
On 13 September 1985, Maj. Wilbert D. "Doug" Pearson, flying the "Celestial Eagle" F-15A 76-0084 launched an ASM-135 ASAT about 200 miles (322 km) west of Vandenberg Air Force Base and destroyed the Solwind P78-1 satellite flying at an altitude of 345 miles (555 km). Prior to the launch, the F-15 - flying at Mach 1.22 - executed a 3.8g zoom climb at an angle of 65 degrees. The ASM-135 ASAT was automatically launched at 38,100 ft while the F-15 was flying at Mach .934.[8] The 30 lb (13.6 kg) MHV collided with the 2,000 lb (907 kg) Solwind P78-1 satellite at closing velocity of 15,000 mph (24,140 km/h).
