Experts Say Fears of Saudi Turmoil Overstated

摘要

Experts on Saudi Arabia say political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa is unlikely to spread to the kingdom in a significant way and that oil-market fears of such contagion are overstated. While cautioning that anything is possible, experts do not expect massive protests resembling those that toppled long-time autocrats in Tunisia and Egypt to emerge in Saudi Arabia, despite calls on Facebook for a "Day of Rage" on Mar. 11 in the capital of Riyadh.
