Thousands gather for Qatar National Day celebration
- 6 years ago
Video of Qatar's National Day celebrations filmed in Doha today (December 18).
In the video, filmed in Doha, tanks pass through a large street in the city and soldiers march by in unison.
Qatar holds the national holiday every year on December 18 to mark its unification in 1878.
The show of force comes at a time when Qatar is at loggerheads with its Arab neighbours, who say the oil-rich state backs Islamist militants.
"Qatar National Day is celebrated every year with various traditional activities and costume displays, military parade, fireworks, and Qatari flag displays all over the country," the filmer explained.
