Saudi Arabia: The Return of King Abdullah
Written by Haifa Alrasheed
Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz returned home after a three month period abroad for medical treatment. His treatment started in New York-Presbyterian Hospital, followed by a recovery period in Morocco.
King Abdullah as he appeared on Saudi TV upon his arrival (by @waa3ad)
Saudis were expecting serious reforms on both the political and economical aspects. Today, and coinciding with the King stepping out of the plane, new reforms were announced. However, the changes were disappointing for most Saudis, as most of them were minor and did not include a large number of the population.
It's Just Not Enough!
Below are some reactions the disappointed citizens:
@alghamdi_R
يا ترى هل يحتفل الآن بعودته من كان لديه أب أو أخ أو قريب مسجون من غير تهمة ولا محاكمة ؟! ، #saudimataleb الفرح جيد ، ولكن العدل مطلوب أيضا

Celebration is good, but fairness is required too. I wonder if the ones who have a father or a brother or a relative imprisoned without charge or trial are celebrating his return?!
@essamz
نتمنى أن تكون الأوامر الملكية المعلنة اليوم مجرد أوامر قديمة متراكمة تنتظر عودة الملك. وأن هناك إصلاحات حقيقية ستعلن قريبا #saudimataleb

We hope that the new reforms are old cluttered ones, and that the new real ones will be announced soon.
@mothaqf
أتمنى ممن أراد أن يهنئ الملك بسلامته بإعلان في جريدة -لن يراه الملك- أن يتصدق عنه بكفالة أسر فقيرة بذات القيمة فهي أنفع #saudi #saudimataleb

I hope those who wanted to congratulate the King on his recovery in the newspaper - which will not be read by the king - donate the money they paid for advertisements to charity for poor families as that is more beneficial

#saudimataleb وبمناسبة عودة الملك والمكرمات الملكية ثم البيانات المطلبية أطاب د.عائض القرني بصرف كتاب لا تحزن مجانا لكل مواطن سعودي

On this occasion and after the announcement of the new reforms, I ask Dr. Aydh Alqarni to give away a copy of his book “Don't Be Sad” to every Saudi citizen
Regardless… We're Happy He's Back!
On the other hand, many Saudis were happy that the king is back. To mark the occasion, the streets of Riyadh, the capital, were decorated with banners and flags wishing the king good health and welcoming him back. Moreover, many Saudis went to the airport to cheer and welcome him back in person. Celebrations were all over Riyadh, and in the sky there were army jets performing for the crowd. Television presenters wore special scarves in the colours of the Saudi flag in a special coverage programme entitled “The Joy of a Nation” to mark the king's return. Below some reactions of the Saudis on Twitter:
