The former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, has died at the age of 74. In power from 1995 to 2013, he profoundly transformed the small Gulf state into a leading diplomatic, economic, and media power, notably through the exploitation of natural gas, the creation of Al Jazeera, and an ambitious international investment policy. Qatar has declared a period of national mourning in tribute to the man considered the architect of modern Qatar.
