ReplyDeleteSo how did Qatar come in there?
Qatar 2022
ReplyDeleteQatar is seriously preparing to host in 2022
ReplyDeleteEnvy and jealousy is a wicked combination. Since Qatar got the World Cup some of their ME neighbors have been bent out of shape about it, and it is obvious that they are still working to get the glory. First they were supposedly funding terrorism, boom, sanctions went on, the country didn't crumble under the sanctions and turn over the World Cup to their salivating neighbors, now it's bribing. Mtschhw. What will be the next allegation?
ReplyDeleteIt is horrible that so many migrant workers have died, but the ME is not known for human rights or protecting the life of outsiders. These ppl should be doing their own construction, but they couldn't last a day in the heat so they depend on outside labour and unfortunately do not put a premium on the safety of these migrant labourers. The climate is bad and everything should be done to protect the lives of these poor men who have traveled far from home to make a better life for their families. However, any other country in the ME would have had the same number of deaths if not higher. The weather is extreme and they need to ensure that these workers are always hydrated and fed a high caloric, carbohydrate and protein rich diet to sustain them to work in that level of heat. This is not the job for vegetarians to do. You have to be a meat eater to survive working long hours in that heat. Not everything is for vegetarians, ppl need to be wise too.
Na wa.... O
ReplyDeletethey better not award the hosting rights to another country oh, next time they should do their due diligence before electing members of a panel
