According to this NewsMax story, the Associated Press is reporting that Saudi Arabia is holding democratic elections, starting next Thursday, for local offices in various districts. I haven't seen this anywhere in the mainstream media, but it sure seems like good news to me. May democracy spread throughout the middle east.
Comments:
The news about the Saudi elections has been pretty poorly covered in the major media. When the elections start, next week, I suspect they'll float higher on the news agenda.
If you're interested in the reforms going on in Saudi Arabia, you're welcome to visit my blog Crossroads Arabia. There's an awful lot going on that's largely invisible to the American media.
