'Royal' families having a dispute.
I raised an eyebrow when the countries getting upset were named. Not exactly known for their peaceful nature, tanks on the street in Bahrain, Saudi we know about, and Egypt has had an attack on Coptic Christians recently.
Meanwhile Qatar, while very very slack with its human rights, tends to prioritise business, research and education overseas. Wonder what this is really about. Qatar has been friendly with Iran recently...
Also worth noting that Oman and Kuwait have not done anything. Maybe it's an oil/gas issue.
Been mentioned in a few places Quatari support for Iran riling Saudi Arabia. Iran SA biggest regional rival.
