Qatar kicks more Egyptians out

Egypt's ambassador to Qatar Muhammad Manis said that the Qatari authorities have terminated contracts of all Egyptians working in Qatari telecommunications establishments, adding, "The establishment has terminated contracts of 74 Egyptians and they have to leave the country during February."

Manis added that Qatari authorities also fired 131 Egyptians working in the Ministry of the Interior and another 23 working in the Ministry of Defense.

He went on that firing Egyptians working in Qatar whose numbers are estimated at 20,000 falls in the course of "an organized plan drawn out by the Qatari civil service court to empty all Qatari establishments of Egyptian personnel."
