So I missed the news that Ahmed and his family are moving to Qatar. What’s interesting is that they are moving not for the duration of Ahmed’s education, but for good. What a nice country it is, too:

Flogging is used in Qatar as a punishment for alcohol consumption or illicit sexual relations.[96] Article 88 of Qatar’s criminal code declares the punishment for adultery is 100 lashes.[97] Adultery is punishable by death when a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man are involved.[97]

Judicial corporal punishment is common in Qatar due to the Hanbali interpretation of Sharia Law.
[…]
Stoning is a legal punishment in Qatar.[105] Apostasy is a crime punishable by the death penalty in Qatar.[106] Blasphemy is punishable by up to seven years in prison and proselytizing can be punished by up to 10 years in prison.[106] Homosexuality is a crime punishable by the death penalty for Muslims.[107] The abaya must be worn by women.[73]

I wonder why they are not moving to Sudan though. Both Ahmed and his father seemed to have taken a liking to its genocidal war criminal of a “president”.
