Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani has stepped down from the position of Director General of Qatar-based Al Jazeera satellite news network.
Al Thani, who had been serving as the network’s head since September 2011, said in a statement that he was leaving the network “to serve my country”, without indicating which government post he was taking.
Several ministers, including the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, were replaced in a cabinet reshuffle on June 26, a day after Crown Prince Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani became the new ruler of the Gulf state.
