2/2 But there’s a hard limit to the reforms — as revealed by the brutal killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents close to the crown prince in October and the torture of several women’s rights activists in detention.

Part 1/2: Saudi prince's reform: Car race, concerts, but no criticism. The concerts and car race cap months of profound change in Saudi Arabia, including the opening of the first movie theater and the lifting of the world’s only ban on women driving apnews.com/0bdbf8acc4654b…

Is public administration wages, salaries and pensions? I remember not long ago those were half of public spending.

This short video is incredible because racism among Arabs is rarely addressed in Arabic media. @FayAbuelgasim and I wrote about this in Ramadan: apnews.com/d893b184a6fd49… twitter.com/ajplusarabi/st…

As an American watching videos in this thread I’m stunned by how animated parliament is, but I also wonder how the inflection and force by which the men speak would be interpreted if employed by the women twitter.com/skynewspolitic…

Big innocent eyes, small physique for his age, obedient, shy, and soft spoken. We met 12-year old Kahlan at a camp on the outskirts of #Marib and he had the strength to tell us his story. @APMiddleEast @mokhbersahafi pic.twitter.com/TJ0dWA3JLp

The killing of Jamal Khashoggi has called into question Prince Mohammed's ability to attract foreign investors
US intelligence firm @Stratfor says Saudi Arabia only succeeded in attracting $1.4 billion in 2017, a figure that trails a number of poorer countries in the Middle East

The annual Saudi budget is watched closely because it offers one of the clearest indicators of whether the kingdom is on track with the crown prince's Vision 2030 plans to wean the kingdom off its reliance on oil, particularly as sustainable sources of energy become cheaper

Some useful figures about the 2019 Saudi budget:
About 68 percent of state revenue next year is expected to come from oil. @CapEconomics said this year's budget seems to be relying on optimistic assumptions for oil prices to rise to almost $80 per barrel.
