Achievements of the House of Thani

"Qatar, the richest nation on earth, is also the fattest with half of all adults obese and 17 per cent of the population suffering from diabetes.  By comparison America, which is often assumed to be the fattest, looks positively slim with a third of adults obese and eight per cent diabetic.  Out of a population of 1.7million, just 250,000 are native Qataris, who, in the space of just two generations have switched from a tribal existence to living in air conditioned villas being waited on by armies of servants."
