The smooth and voluntary transfer of power by HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani to HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani is unprecedented in the history of the Arab world, particularly the Gulf region, Dr Mohamed al-Misfar, professor of political science at Qatar University, said yesterday in a comment on Qatar TV.
He said he had seen that there was a consensus among many politicians, sociologists, mediapersons and university professors in the Gulf region that HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad is an amiable and much loved personality. He also enjoys a deep perspective in discussing all issues of the area.
