If expatriates decided to leave the hellholes of the UAE and Qatar en masse, they would be doing the world a big favor...


because both those fucking countries would collapse like a house of cards.

From Emirates24:
The UAE and Qatar have the highest percentage of expatriates relative to their population in the oil-rich Gulf although Saudi Arabia has the largest number of foreigners, according to a regional study.

At the start of 2011, expatriates accounted for as high as 87 per cent of the total population in Qatar and nearly 84 per cent in the UAE, showed the study by the Kuwaiti-based Diplomatic Centre, a private think-tank.

Foreigners in Kuwait were estimated at 68 per cent while they stood at around 51 per cent in Bahrain and 39 per cent in Oman.

Saudi Arabia, the largest member of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), had the lowest ratio of expatriates of around 32 per cent, but it had the highest number of foreigners, estimated at nearly eight million.

The report showed expatriates, mostly from Asia, Africa and the Middle East, were estimated at nearly 48 per cent of the GCC’s total population of 43 million at the start of 2011. At the end of the year, the total population of the Gulf economic, political and defence alliance stood at around 46.9 million.

“Expatriates are a majority in some GCC members and could become a majority in other countries if no measures are taken by regional governments to cut reliance on foreigners.

This is because the expatriate population is growing by 6-8 per cent while the local population is growing by 2-3 per cent,” the report said.......
