After diving in to this region, I have learn a lot of new things and took me to other whole world of experiences. In this blog I will talk in general what was in my all blogs. Talking about Saudi Arabia first thing will come to mind is women rights, royalty, wealth and oil. well this exactly what most my blogs is about
First, I talks about what King Abdullah gave the women political, educational and economical rights lead the nation to the right direction toward democratization. King Abdullah also has other achievements for women especially. Then I post about women being unable to drive because of the law. I have post some ideas that talks about this law and how it could be a barrier for women to achieve some goals.
Second, I have posted about other GCC country,which is UAE, in her steps toward democratization as we studies in the book Controversy in globalization by having first women as fighter pilot. Now, in UAE women are able to join in the military specially to be a polite fighters.
Furthermore, I have explain my point about Saudi Arabia is moving toward a democracy, however, it is in its own way. King Abdullah promise Education, women empowerment to ensure better future. But he never say we are going to have democracy. King Abdullah aimed to have an educated nation with better economy to give his country the future that the dreamed for. Isn’t that value more that democracy? or people still want democracy first.
Moving toward more important topic which is the Oil price. Oil price is decreasing which is not of the GCC favor. This falling of oil price can cause a major issue in GCC economy. On the other hand, GCC are ought to come up with new strategies to help their economy. It could be with mange the oil spending or not to rely only on oil in their entire economy..
Moreover, I have talked about a controversial topic in Saudi Arabia especially which is the labor rights . It is been in news lately that worker have been abused in Saudi household. King Abdulla has done great work in past to help protect this foreign workers. Saudi Arabia has cooperate with Human rights to meet these workers human needs. Additionally king abdullah gave the foreigner workers a chance to fix their document to be in legal status to stay in Saudi Arabia legally without any penalty.
Also, one of my interesting post is the one about media war. It always catch my attention that Saudi Arabia have media war and the are using this huge and well trusted news channels. Qatar is using Al-Jazzerah which is actually based on Qatar, and Saudi Arabia is using Al-arabiya which based on Dubai but lead by saudi royal person. Each country is using its media outlet to criticize the other country.
Lastly, I have bookmark and posted a blog about the Shia uprise in Saudi Arabia. Shia in Saudi Arabia is experiencing some sort of unjust system. They believe the only reason behind them because the are different the are been discriminated. This small conflicts in Saudi Arabia can caused a bigger conflict with Iran because Iran support the Shia everywhere in this region.
