This is the most detailed video I have found showing the rampage that Ethiopians went on, damaging and injuring cars, motorists, and passers by.

And this video shows the retaliation meted out by a large mob of young Saudi civilians as swept through a neighborhood pulling Ethiopians out of their homes and severely beating them up, apparently killing some as well.

There was a protest in Jeddah as well by Ethiopians, and it was not violent as far as I know. They just blocked a major road by standing across, and brought hundreds of cars to a halt. The first video shows what I described, and the second shows people running away from the scene with gunshots in the background, apparently after the police came to disperse the protestors.

If I am correct they dismissed it as Ethiopian propaganda in the Arab News.

Yeah. Right.

How about the same as the response in the aftermath of the video showing a Pakistani laborer being slapped around by an arrogant Saudi f!@# or the one of three girls being harangued outside a mall in broad daylight: Introducing a law forbidding recording of people without their permission!

Act like an animal all you want and if someone dares to video you doing so, woe betide them. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's right Neutral
