17. conclusion
Saudi is one of the nations with a vast oil supply and used to be the largest supplier though now Russia is competing with her since April. There is high possibility that things in Saudi will change due to recent developments and oncoming uprisings in the nations especially terrorism which has been one of the major threats so as activists. There is need for a constitution which clearyl stipulates the separation of power to avoid nepotism so as corruption. Saudi has proved that a nation does not need to be democratic before it is well developed but need to invest much in natural resources that bring income. The state needs to respect the rights of individuals and allow for citizens to participate in politics.
