With news that Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, the UAE and the Maldives have cut diplomatic ties in the region, Qatar is in serious trouble. With closures of airspace, road and sea routes, with passages blocked through Saudi Arabia, alongside the suspension of flights to the country, such moves will no doubt cause economic instability.
Whilst Kuwait, who has yet to respond, is currently acting as an intermediary, Qatar has recalled citizens and informed diplomats they are to leave the country, leading to one of the largest diplomatic crises since the 1990s.
