On July 17, this writer appeared on Press TV's News Analysis program. So did analysts Ali al-Ahmed and Kamel Wazne.
According to Wazne, Washington cares only about keeping Saudi oil flowing. It has utter "disregard for the people of Saudi Arabia and those people who are demonstrating on the streets."
People have no say, he stressed. Repression and social inequality are rife. Royal family members have no interest in their own people. Sheikh al-Nemr "called outright for the downfall of the monarchy and he called for the downfall of Al Saud."
Eastern Province winter 2011 protests mushroomed to many others across the Kingdom. "These people marching in the streets are determined" to achieve change. They want "a different political system."
This writer added that perhaps the fuse was lit last year. What Eastern Province Shiites began, Saudis across the Kingdom continue. Analyst Ali al-Ahmed predicts an "inevitable collapse." The fullness of time may prove him prescient.
