Virtual
Event: Public Talk on “Qatar Blockade: Is A Solution At Hand?”, via Zoom on 8
July 2020, 4:00-5:30 pm (SGT)
Three
years since Qatar was blockaded by its neighbours, the tiny emirate has
continued to hold its own. Despite periodic attempts at resolving the deepest
rift in the Gulf, including a much-hyped recent effort brokered by Kuwait,
hopes have proven misplaced. Will World Cup 2022, rising US–Iran tensions and
the Saudi Crown Prince’s need for a “win” brighten prospects for a solution? Dr
Kristian Ulrichsen, author of “Qatar and the Gulf Crisis”, which examined how
the Gulf state tackled the crisis, will answer these and other questions.
