Did Qatar wrong the Egyptian opposition youth? Has it committed a crime against humanity against many young people, both Islamist and non-Islamist?

Were the practices of its men responsible for destroying the future of many young Egyptians abroad? And is it obligated to improve its image and rearrange its priorities?

Reasonable people know well that Qatar was leading the battle against the Egyptian regime and some other Arab regimes. It was able, with intelligence, to gain control over all Egyptian dissidents abroad, and every politician on Istanbul soil “grew up” on the “bounty” of Qatari funds through its two fronts: Azmi [Bishara] and Abu Amer. Everything I am saying is not a secret; it is spoken of in the corridors of television channels and in the cafes of Istanbul.

In the beginning, Qatar must bear the moral responsibility for the victims of its struggle. All the dissidents came to Istanbul under direct or indirect Qatari guidance, whether they were Egyptian Islamists following the instructions of Abdelrahman Abodia and under his mandate, or secularists following the directives of Azmi Bishara and his men. Anyone who understood the situation beforehand and did not want to align with an agenda that contradicted their national conscience met the fate of the honorable; they were punished through practices of constriction, defamation, and economic warfare—the usual tactics of Qatar’s men. “The language of money and livelihood is the only weapon.”

In truth, the war was one of regional influence, and the Arab opposition factions were nothing but a card that eventually had to be discarded on the negotiation table. Now that the desired objective has been achieved, what is the fate of the victims?

Dear Azmi,

Dear Abodia,

What about the victims of the war you were leading? I will not ask you about the fortunes your arms and their assistants have reaped—may God bless their earnings—and I will not speak much about my direct experience with you so as not to personalize matters.

Dear Azmi,

Dear Abodia,

I, thank God, emerged from the conflict with you with my head held high and victorious. The future will bear witness, and history will write the story that will immortalize my memory and reveal your inner selves in the finest detail.

Finally, let me address the master of the house.

Young Prince, we congratulate you and take our hats off to the one who managed the Egyptian opposition file within Qatari security. Truth be told, the man was able to control every Egyptian holding the status of a “dissident,” except for me. Your officer of limited intelligence knows why he could not bring me to my knees and knows the difference between me and others. He tried to apply all of Qatar’s instructions to me and used all his tools, but he failed due to the limitations of his mind.

However, the truth is that he succeeded in the file as a whole, and this is an achievement that must be mentioned and praised. Therefore, we congratulate you on the Arab reconciliation, and we wish the Arab peoples, headed by Egypt, all the best.

Sir, master of the house,

I saw the friendly photo published of you with Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Prince Tahnoun bin Zayed, and I was happy, contrary to what your supporters in the past—from various groups—did. Truth is more worthy of being followed, and we are supporters of the idea that the interests of the nation come first.

Today, I address you personally regarding matters of extreme gravity, which I do not believe Azmi or Abodia will relay to you, despite my previous advice to them.

The first matter is the reputation of Qatar, its people, and its leadership among the Egyptian youth in Istanbul, which requires a careful review due to the practices of some who profited from the conflict. Is this possible?

Is it possible to conduct an internal investigation into the practices of the institutions affiliated with the two fronts and their victims—the young people who are now homeless with their families in Istanbul—and to restore their financial and moral dignity?

The second matter: Is it possible to consider the current employees in the channels and institutions as victims of war and create a rehabilitation program to integrate them into societies and facilitate their paperwork and livelihood after the reconciliation is fully concluded?

Sir, master of the house,

History, then history, then history. Moral responsibility stands between me and everyone else; history is a just witness.

Sir, master of the house,

Before closing the file with its channels, institutions, and research centers, there are victims of the war—let everyone take heed. O God, I have conveyed the message; O God, bear witness. Until our next meeting with more detailed words.

A Necessary Apology:

I apologize for deleting this article previously, as a result of a request from one of the dear officials in Qatar. But in truth, after reviewing my conscience, I found that deleting the article is a crime against myself, which Qatar—the sponsor of Arab democracies and the inspiration for the youth of the Islamic world—would not accept. My deepest apologies.
