First: The internal conflict of Saudi Arabia.
A: Dimensions of widespread violation of human rights and democracy in Saudi Arabia.
The silence of the international community regarding the crimes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has not held any free and democratic elections in this country for the past several decades, while the West, and especially the United States, has used the tactic of supporting democracy in many countries in the region over the past decades. and freedom and human rights have started war-mongering and military intervention.
