On the other hand, an Arab journalist has warned that Saudi Arabia was passing through a dangerous phase. He said the country has lacked a clear internal and external policy. He said that due to leadership deficit the protests would be intensified.
Mazavi al Rashid, a woman columnist and reporter of al Quds al Arabi, wrote that Jamhooria al Ahsa and al Qatif’s names were appeared in social websites after the arrest of Ayatollah al Nimr. She said that it is in the interest of al Saud regime that they should not test the patience of Eastern region who will no more tolerate repression.

She wrote that people now want political sovereignty and people’s participation in governance of the country.
