and vice versa are torn apart at this point calls for dialogue and that's taken up by the emir of kuwait weeks later the four countries released a list of demands they include wanting to scale back its diplomatic ties with iran and close a turkish military base here they pressured to cut all ties with what they call terrorist organizations including the muslim brotherhood and they called for the shutting down of the al-jazeera news channel as well as other media outlets funded by the qatari government. right so that's how we got to this point but a year on the diplomatic stalemate continues carter and its people are still under a blockade but what has changed is that the country's made a giant leap towards self-sufficiency and through some friendly overtures cemented its relations with its allies. explains now it has not been an easy year for qatar but for now from all over the world philip store shelves cranes other most visible sign of the huge push to build mega projects in time for football's world cup in twenty twenty two but a year ago on the fifth of june during the fasting month

kuwait has tried to mediate in the gulf crisis shell joins us from kuwait city where is the mediationprocess now and thoughts on how to get it going again. well jane unfortunately there hasn't been a breakthrough made in terms of actually trying to solve reaching a solution to this crisis we are marking one year now since it began however there are several milestones within that mediation process that the eighty's and others will point to that shows some sort of progress not least in the sense that the kuwaitis were able to avert this crisis from becoming a diplomatic one and transforming it into a military one the kuwaiti emir himself spoke of how his government and the efforts of his leadership managed to ensure that there wasn't an invasion or wasn't some sort of military attack on qatar so maybe that's the positives that has come out of the kuwaiti intervention the negatives or at least we can say with the lack of success in terms of actually trying to bring them all about to one table that is the three g.c.c. countries saudi arabia the united arab emirates i'm behind on one side

states that imposed the blockade were not willing to enter into talks our men and also kuwait i think found it very difficult in the initial stages of the crisis. you know there may have been some pressure exerted on them to to take sides but i think then it was you know i think even the courts had to quickly realize that they needed some mediator within the region. so we've seen kuwait sort of take on more of that will than than are meant for this crisis but it's also important to to note that this pressure of taking sides extends beyond the gulf region. by nightfall on that first day that instigating nations crain saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt we're now joined by. the us and factions in libya in isolating the tiny gulf nation. on the second day of the crisis the effects were beginning to show. qatari citizens in the blockading countries were making arrangements to vacate and return to their homeland. qatar's population is made up predominantly of the experts and foreign workers almost ninety percent and could not risk losing its workforce. airlines were struggling to handle the

should think is a professor of political science at kuwait university joins us now live from kuwait city thanks for being with us kuwait as well todd to mediate in this crisis doesn't seem to have made much headway why is it taking so long to resolve. well it's a complex crisis and it's a deep one and it does take long to address such crises depends on the views of each of the parties kuwait has tried hard at least i think it's a cheap some objective and the most important of these objectives is to put a cap on the crisis and to make sure it doesn't escalate beyond what we saw in the beginning so somehow there is a level of up sort of that level of the crisis. the hope is to resolve it but i don't see it that is all easy. maybe at some point there is a way up for civilian air traffic the airports. the family. trade the people who are more stand to let the governments later on the resolve issues that may not be necessarily fully resolved as anyone or anything from this crisis we were talking a little earlier about how perhaps category society is more coherent. a lot of support for the way

is in kuwait city and joins us now live from. kuwait where do we stand diplomatically right now in terms of q. weights mediation has it borne fruit at all. well it's a good question in terms of the ultimate aim of this mediation obviously that has still not been achieved in terms of solving this crisis bringing back the unity of the gulf cooperation council however that doesn't mean it hasn't borne fruit because initially the challenges that were being represented by the blockade on qatar were a lot greater and as far as the coase are concerned they achieved huge success in the first place in terms of averting this current crisis from becoming merely or we say merely but becoming simply a blockade on qatar and turning it into a military conflict which could very well have been the case of the kuwaitis achieved preventing it from spiraling out of control into some sort of war or invasion that could have taken place however there are yet to find some sort of solution that doesn't mean they haven't stopped as far as the kuwaiti offi

even kuwait's in a mound the other g.c.c. countries see is an attempt to dictate negotiations and their outcome before they even take place having said that the kuwaitis and i've spoken to some officials over the past couple of days here are not convincing colp there are still continuing so the foreign minister has been going to serve all of the g.c.c. countries in recent weeks and they've also been receiving mystery's and other representatives of the governments in the past couple of days including from minister of qatar just a couple of days ago there is a sense however jane and this is another interesting thing among some people in kuwait that maybe actually they will also be targeted by these blockading nations because what we've seen in the past couple of months because kuwait has tried to insist on being a mediator and insist on being neutral in this the saudis in the u.a.e. actually wanted everybody to be in support of them so we've seen an attack on certain kuwaiti figures within the saudi and morality media that's so
