The Code of Lekhwiya
(“Lekhwiya” is the name given to the Qatari Special Forces for Internal Security; a well trained and highly motivated group of Qatari fighters. This is a translation of their Code though it loses a bit in translation) Lekhwiya is an authentic word derived from Qatari heritage and its definition is: brother, which in singular is Khawi. This word was used by the locals for the tribesmen who were close to the Governor and were assigned, but unpaid, to maintain law and order and keep the well being of the Qatari society, motivated by their love of Allah, their country and their commander.
