Furthermore, His abdication was seen as Qatar’s attempt to stay ahead of Arab Spring-inspired calls for reforms and leadership more attuned to the region’s large and powerful young population. Although Sheikh Hamad had been out of power for a long time, he received a raging ovation from the Qatari who attended his inaugural party. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani passes away Sunday morning, according to Qatari Amiri Diwan.
In addition, Sheikh Hamad created Al Jazeera, powerful voice in Arab media After seizing power from his father, who then lived in exile for nearly a decade, Sheikh Hamad quickly moved to open an inward-looking nation to outside influences, epitomized by Al Jazeera, which became a major force in global media. Thani was seen as one of the key architects of modern Qatar and led the country during a period of rapid economic growth. Sheikh Hamad handed power to his son, the then crown prince, in June 2013 in a rare abdication by a hereditary Gulf Arab ruler, to try to ensure a smooth succession.
