I just want to know, is there any consequences to the local father working in the government? having children born abroad? Bcoz, they said if the govt knows that emarati man married to other nationality, they will be removed from the govt office where they are working an will be out of service benefits. Is this true!. However, I congratulate Sheikh Khalifa, for the positive humanitarian move! May Allah, shower His blessing to this country & its people, especially to the leader.

As a mother of a Qatari child who was left behind by her Qatari father I congratulate Sheikh Khalifa on his willingness to find these children. I hope Qatar and Kuwait follows through as well. There are so many children who have been left behind in the USA, please consider them as well.
