Qatar is crippling fast. 
This doesn't concern us. Somalis should just keep their heads down and if asked about the matter, pretend to be Lil' Jon.

TL;DR Qatar is changing teams (like turkey has/is doing) considering the unsustainability of the KSA/US foreign policy
What's likely happening is Qatar has had to come to an agreement with Iran to supply their shared offshore gas reserve (North Dome/South Pars) to Indian and Chinese markets, and abandon the Syrian gas pipeline extension to Europe via Syria. Qatar and Iran are essentially producing out of the same massive offshore reserve in the Persian Gulf, and are competing on getting this gas to market.
Initially Qatar had planned a gas pipeline via Saudi and Syria en route to Europe, which was blocked by Syria back in 2012, and then Russia had officially entered the fray to defend their literal monopoly of the European gas market.
Enter ISIS, a Saudi-Qatari-US-Israeli backed private military contractors to overthrow Assad, get a puppet President in who would grant construction rights for the Qatari pipeline. This brute force strategy using foreign backed PMC's have utterly failed with Russian support.
From the other end, the United States have blocked Iran from building a gas pipeline through the military campaigns in Iraq, thus closing the Meditteranean corridor for Iran.
This has forced Iran to focus their attention on supplying the Asian market, most noteably China, who have been purchasing an increasing amount of oil and gas from Iran and Russia, and less and less from Saudi and the other gulf countries.
China is doing this to try to force Saudi, Qatar, and the gulf monarchies to accept the Yuan for oil/gas payments instead of USD, and is putting the Gulf monarchies on a collision course with the United States and threatening the Petrodollar mercantilism racket. Whenever the United States dollar is threatened, a false flag ensues, and a major military campaign is executed. Iraq and Libya are perfect examples.

Saudi Arabia is using the tension in Europe to move the focus away from themselves and blame it on Qatar. KSA and Qatar are the 2 countries people point to when it comes to funding terrorism. Some even say that Qatar finances Alshabab, just look at this video that has been trending recently to show why KSA is also involved:
Let us also remember that this isn't the first time this has happened, KSA, Bahrain and the UAE cut ties with Qatar in 2014. Although this time it's a little different because there is a new Emir in Qatar, and there has been some recent controversy:
It is also different because Egypt is now involved, and Egypt imprisoned AJ journalists, and recently extended their sentence.
Let us also not forget what happened yesterday: http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-security-iran-idUKKBN18V0NX
KSA is diverting the situation from them to Qatar, although they're both accused, they view Qatar as an easy target.
Also @Hemaal is right, cheese will absolutely follow in their path.

Here is the timeline of the 'conflict'. It's so silly

Iran is not stupid enough to get directly involved, but they have been eyeing the shia majority Bahrein for a while now, which borders the shia populated eastern Saudi Arabia, that's also on their radar. This is an early xmas gift for them and the opening they've been looking for, and they would be stupid if they don't create mayhem.
I wonder why Kuwait is silent. Oman, which is fairly a loner like Qatar, is also quiet.

There's audio tape of president sisi dissing gulf states but they didn't cut ties with Egypt.

Will they demand Somalia not let Qatar Airways use its airspace? Somalia gets about $50 for each plane that flies into its airspace.
