Qatar closes Chad embassy in retaliatory move

Qatar’s foreign ministry on Thursday said it was closing Chad’s embassy in Doha and ordered all staff to leave the emirate within three days.

The retaliatory move came just 24 hours after the central African state announced it was closing Qatar’s embassy in N’Djamena, accusing Doha of seeking to destabilise the country.
Qatar foreign ministry official Ahmed bin Saeed al-Rumaihi said in a statement the emirate had decided “to close the Embassy of the Republic of Chad in Doha and to give diplomats and embassy staff 72 hours to leave the country”.
Rumaihi added that Qatar rejected as “baseless” claims made by Chad on Wednesday.Qatar’s foreign ministry on Thursday said it was closing Chad’s embassy in Doha and ordered all staff to leave the emirate within three days.
