Qatar is the richest country and only has a population of less than 3 million, even the state of Qatar pays their workers wages of 350k per hour, even though the government does not give discounts to its citizens, I am very sure their citizens are not angry, the Qatari government only wants to profit from immigrants , they managed to host the world cup, their goal is to show the world that their country is a safe country and none of their citizens live suffering,

What do you mean by wages of 350k per hour? In Qatar most of the work force is made up of immigrants from South Asia. These workers earn in the range of $1-$2 per hour, if not less. And there are reports that around 6,000 workers died during the construction of stadiums for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. I am not saying that all of these deaths resulted from accidents at work place. A lot of them died as a result of sunstroke and cardiac arrest. But most of these deaths could have been avoided, if the Qatari authorities had provided better working conditions.

These deaths may overshadow this world cup in Qatar. The death of 6,000 workers stands out as a very high figure. Qatar should explain the reasons for this. The best conditions had to be provided for workers working for 1-2$ per hour. Although, in my country, the monthly salary of a minimum wage earner is $275. I wish a fairer wage was made and everyone lived under the same conditions.
