Saudi family fearful of revolution

SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association) — An analyst tells Press TV Saudi Arabia is concerned about a revolution in the country because it is experiencing a unique power vacuum.

The founder and director of IGA, Ali al-Ahmad, from Washington said

“The Saudis, obviously, the ruling family is extremely worried about any revolution, if it's in Egypt, Yemen or Bahrain because they know that the people of Saudi Arabia will go after them sooner or later.”

He explained that the Saudi family members are in their eighties or late seventies and they are still incapacitated in terms of their ability to deliver policy and to conduct policy inside and outside the country.

Ahmad said “This is really creating a unique vacuum of power in Saudi Arabia.”

The analyst also noted that Saudi people can learn from other revolutions in the region, like Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen.

He said “If they learn, if they see the Egyptians, the Bahrainis and Yemenis and other Arabs revolting and changing their regimes, they will topple the regime of the Saudi monarchy.” — www.shafaqna.com
