"Sorcerers in Senegal and Mauritania are making millions of dollars by dealing with Sheikhs in Qatar who have asked them to invoke spirits and harness djinns to solve the crisis."  

He continued ...

"Qataris have paid millions of dollars in a single month to con artists who claim to have supernatural powers that can protect Qatar with witchcraft. Monitor wire transfers and you will see the evidence." 

Of course, Qatari residents on Twitter were quick to mock the bizarre claim

Going to work in Qatar be like ...

Harry Potter references were quick to surface

Traditional Qatari clothing be like ...

Qataris travel in magical style

The news is changing a lot of things
