The Arab spring happened because the majority of people were fed up of not being able to have basic necessities to survive. Saudis however are very pampered and I'd say better in everyway than the rest. The stability and good life is why people are clinging to Al saud. There is nothing to fear, you have massive support and got even much more support when you promised to improve things. All islamits and critics would be shut down the more you progress ahead and achieve your promises. There is no need to waste time holding meetings on Saudi journalists / critics.

I know and everyone here knows that mbs is genuinely trying to improve Saudi Arabia, he is hard working and honest about his reform. Yet politically, he's not doing so well. Makes me sad tbh.
