Qatar has declared a four-day national mourning period following the death of former Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani at age 74. During his rule from 1995 to 2013, Sheikh Hamad utilized the nation's natural gas reserves to transform Qatar into a central economic and political power. Government operations are suspended through Thursday as the current Emir, Sheikh Tamim, receives visiting heads of state at Lusail Palace. This transition protocol marks a formal pause for the nation's government sector.
