The Arab Spring uprisings came as a response of the terrible leadership in the Middle East. In numerous countries the people massive went out on the streets and demanded change, and most of them managed to get it, overthrowing the leaders, and setting up new ones. Unfortunately, this didn't resulted in what was expected, as the new leaders ere nothing better than the previous ones, some even turned out to be worse, and the majority of the changes that the people demanded never happened. Saudi Arabia had only few minor protests, thus we can say that it was not part of the Arab Spring. The reason for this is largely attributed to the cruel dictatorship that this country is. The people were afraid to get out and demand change, as in Saudi Arabia even expressing an opinion against the rulers usually ends up in execution.
