Qatar reforms wage payment plan for expat workers

Qatar, building for the 2022 World Cup, moves toward labor reform with lessons to learn from Bahrain.

Workers clean up at the Villaggio shopping mall in Doha, May 29, 2012. Thirteen expatriate children were among those killed in Monday's fire at the Villaggio Mall in Doha's west end, including two-year-old triplets from New Zealand. Authorities have ordered an investigation into the blaze near a childcare area at the mall amid reports that security staff at the complex reacted slowly to the blaze and in chaotic fashion.

Saudi action puts Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait on spot

Saudi Arabia’s designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization has put pressure on Brotherhood organizations in the rest of the Gulf.

An Egyptian protester waves a Saudi Arabia flag at Tahrir square in Cairo July 29, 2011. Thousands of Egyptians gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday to show Islamists and others were united in wanting change, though divisions remain on how hard to press the military rulers about the pace and depth of reforms.
