I first saw this in a tweet and then did a bit of googling and it looks like people are trying to organize a protest in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for tomorrow.

Some Saudi activists have organised a demonstration by sending text messages. They protest against the poor condition of infrastructures in the city of Jeddah, which has possibly caused the flooding of some areas. The website of Al Jazeera reports that the protests regard the condition of the rain water drainage system in particular.

5. Saudi Arabia sits on 30-40% of the world's oil reserves.

The nation is ruled by a brutal, totalitarian regime ... good buddies of ours.



If Saudi Arabia's government falls, the West must respond. This is a very, very big deal.

6. Yes, this is where it starts hitting home for many of us.

The US will watch the rest of these countries burn but once Saudi Arabia is involved, US forces will be sent.
