There has been an outpouring of support for Qatar and its leadership from people living in the country — both citizens and expatriates — after some neighbouring and other nations severed diplomatic ties and cut sea, air and land links. As a show of solidarity, billboards have come up containing images of HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the Qatari flag and inspirational messages. Also, motorists have put up stickers and photographs of HH the Emir on their vehicles to show support. Similar images and graffiti could also be seen on the facades and walls of buildings. Sources in the local market said the demand for such photographs and flags has gone up over the past few days as people look to express their support for the country and its leaders.
