Qatar has removed the only two female ministers from the Cabinet. There are 20 ministers in the King's cabinet - these are the only women ever to serve in Cabinet Minister positions. The state-run Qatar News Agency gave no reason why they were fired.
Have to wonder what this is all about - were these women simply not up to their jobs? Was this giving in to pressure from those who don't think any women are up to these sorts of jobs? That element does exist here (understatement!).
One wonders......

I'm REALLY glad you will be leaving this area soon. This action really doesn't bode well.
Muslim? women are second class citizens...
Not a good sign...
