This is the happiest man in the world, the king of Qatar is 42 years old, has 3 wives, has 13 children, is still the head of a country, and it is incredible that he became a king at such a young age!
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has made the oil country in the Middle East the most hotly debated word in the mouths of Chinese fans.
Rich people, can marry four wives, marry wives The country pays money, dumpling skin princes and other hot spots have surged traffic on the Internet, Qatar spent 200 billion to hold the World Cup did not buy the happiness of the people, but bought the friendship of the world.
The actual change of power behind the country is more interesting, and his change of throne has been dramatic since the early days of the state, with snatches between cousins and between father and son.
The history of the reign of the current King Tamim of Qatar is also a wonderful modern palace fighting drama.
Tamim's father, Hamad, staged a coup d'état when his father was traveling, mainly because of the disagreement of ideas, and the old king's concept of governing the country was no longer in line with the development laws of the mainstream world at that time.
With this, Hamad was able to ascend to power, feng shui took turns, and the same thing happened to him.
In 2013, Iran's Fars News Agency published a headline that Qatar's current king, Tamim, had a violent quarrel with his biological father.
During the argument, Tamim was too excited, and impatiently under the verbal argument between the two sides, he directly pulled out his pistol and fired several shots into the sky.
"Enough father, don't quarrel anymore, the matter will end here, your concept has been derailed with the times, now I am the emir (i.e. king) of Qatar, you just rest here and don't think too much."
These gunshots attracted a group of bodyguards to look sideways, but seeing that there was no danger on both sides, they stood silently in place and did not dare to look over.
Also earlier that year, Tamim, who was also crown prince of Qatar, staged a coup d'état and imprisoned his father, Hamad, because of the mediation of international politicians and royal family members at the time.
Hamad, knowing that his defeat was decided, was forced to give a televised address.
"Fellow citizens, I have thought for a long time and made a momentous decision to pass the Emir to my son Tamim, I fully believe that he is qualified to take up this responsibility, and he is worthy of your trust."
Against this backdrop, they staged a peaceful succession drama, and Hamad was freed after his abdication.
It is clear that the dispute between the two will not end so quickly, and the unwilling Hamad knows that he has been monitored by Tamim's people, and he decides to borrow his wife Moza to make some small moves.
Princess Moza is Tamim's biological mother, and has deep respect for her mother, Tamim, who was once selected by Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world, and an important patron of the most high-end luxury, her aesthetic and fashion matching have prompted many Arab women to imitate.
However, as Qatar's national power increased, Princess Moza's consumption behavior became more and more extravagant.
That made Tamim, determined to reform Qatar, a little unbearable and even more angry, and on a recent luxury trip to Israel, Moza brought with him her husband, Hamad, as well as the prime minister and former foreign minister.
"Mother I am your son, what is your current action, to help the father overthrow his son's throne, the North African Spring is destined to be a wrong action."
Former king, former foreign minister, current prime minister and queen mother Moza, their travel itself is an unusual move, Moza has traveled abroad too many times, consumed too much, etc. is acceptable for an oil country like Qatar, and the main reason for the quarrel between Tamim and his father Hamad is the disagreement over the North African Spring action.
In his throne, Hamad strongly advocated supporting and assisting the opposition in Libya, Egypt, Syria and other countries, and supporting them to carry out color revolutions in the Arab world.
The results were clearly not as rosy as he imagined, Libya was torn apart and plunged into civil war, Egypt launched a wave of anti-government action, and the development of many Middle Eastern countries came to a standstill, and civil war and turmoil produced incalculable losses.
Hamad's actions and decisions are not unknown in the Middle East world, and many countries protest Qatar's interference in other countries' internal affairs.
Fearing that his father's wrong decision would plunge Qatar into the abyss, Tamim staged a coup d'état and forced Hamad to step down.
In order to clean up his father's lineage, it took him more than three years to slowly take full control of the entire country.
After taking real power, he actively negotiated peace with neighboring countries, changing Hamad's policy of supporting the opposition and withdrawing aid.
Tamim also confirmed that he is no worse than his father, hosting various events such as the World Cup and the Table Tennis Open, advocating the diversification of Qatar and the development of tourism like Saudi Arabia to promote the country's economy.
Compared with his father's arbitrariness, Tamim usually prefers to stay with his children, he pays more attention to family harmony, will take the children to various activities, and will help his young son tidy up the headscarf.
Under the polygamous system, he now has three wives and thirteen children, the first wife is said to be his cousin, and he once attended the World Cup in Qatar with his wife and children.
Hopefully, he wasn't watching Qatar's match against other countries, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to walk out of the football stadium with a smile.
