A Qatari reader sent me this (I should not identify her): "
I don't know whether you missed this silly piece of news:
- Qatar admitted to club of French-speaking nations
This is such a joke, we can hardly speak proper Arabic and now the gov is
trying to strengthen French? From my circle of friend and family I only know one
french speaker.. and his french sucks!"
PS I told her that the only requirement was for the Emir to say "merci". And that was that.
