History and structure

The Al Thanis, an Arab tribe part which belongs to the Ma'adid sect of the Banu Tamim tribe,[2] can be traced back to Mudar bin Nizar who settled at Gebrin oasis in southern Najd (present-day Saudi Arabia) before he moved to Qatar.[3] Around the 17th century, the tribe lived in Ushayqir, a settlement north-east of Riyadh. They settled in Qatar around the 1740s. Their first settlement in Qatar was in the southern town of Sikak, and from there they moved north-west to Zubarah and Al Ruwais.[4] They settled in Doha in the 19th century under their leader Mohammad bin Thani.[3] The group was named after the father of Mohammad, Thani bin Mohammad.[3]

The family is made of many factions.[5] There were three major branches in the early 1990s: Bani Ali, Bani Hamad and Bani Khalid.[6] The number of the family members during the same period was estimated to be about 20,000.[6]

The leadership transitions in 1949, 1960, and 1995 were all forced abdications.[5] These abdications were forced by a nephew in one incident and sons in the others.[5] However, none of these forced abdications was a real challenge for the Al Thanis since they have managed to retain the power in each case.[7] Family members of the Emir have been mostly appointed to major posts in the cabinet or in the other state institutions.[5]
