MORONI, THE CAPITAL OF COMOROS: People took to the streets condemning the decisions to boycott Qatar and stressing the role played by Doha in the establishment of international peace and security. The demonstrators rejected the decision of the Comoros government to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar. The protesters raised Qatari flags and carried banners written in Arabic (people love Qatar).
"The Comorian government unilaterally decided to cut off diplomatic relations with Qatar without consulting with the governors of the three islands that make up the Union of the Comoros," said Governor of the autonomous island of Anjouan Abdou Salami Abdou. The governor condemned the decision, praising Qatar's role in providing assistance and support to its people. He called on the government of the Comoros to reverse its decision and be part of the solution and not part of the crisis.

AMMAN, JORDAN: In a statement,the National Alliance for Reform condemned the government's decision to downgrade diplomatic relations with Doha, adding the Jordanian government's decisions are an additional escalation of the crisis. The statement described the decision as 'shocking' and constitutes a departure from the 'balance' that Jordan has taken in all its relations with its Arab brothers and a blow to Arab relations with a sister country that has an honourable past in standing with Jordan.
Qatar has honourable positions in addressing the issues of Arab and Islamic nations, at the top of which is the Palestinian cause. It plays active role in the regional and international arenas in resolving disputes and has great role in humanitarian relief campaigns, the statement said.
