For me, the people of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and #Ethiopia are two people with the same behavior. Especially, until the former have gotten the oil to become rich. Both are religious people who lived under series of regimes that used religion as a tool to get legitimacy and rule in a totalitarian way. Even now, both of our rulers are accumulating economic power by exploiting resources of each of us. <\/p>\n

Our King (Armah) said he would never give the prophet’s family to his enemies even had he had proposed a mountain of gold. We want to hear that from the people of Saudi Arabia today.<\/p>\n

We believe that you may be experiencing in some activities that are inconvenient to your society.
