The first Saudi lady joined the “ID Revolution” in which a number of Saudi citizens posted separately posts in YouTube attacking the regime. The following is a translation of the clip posted on Youtube by a lady calling herself Ali’niziyah (From the tribe of ‘):
In the name of God. Praise be to god and peace of God and His Prayers be upon the Messenger of God. Praise be to God, Praise be to Gad, Praise be to God until Praise reaches Him. I have been extremely delighted as I followed the recordings made by the young men of the land of the two Shrines, with such courage and boldness, in which they uttered the word of truth without hesitation or flattery. Each time someone spoke his wordswere stronger than his predecessor in terms of meaning, clarity and defiance of oppression. I hereby, in turn, join them and say the following:
First, I begin with expressing support for these young men and commending them for speaking the truth out. Frankly, I had been concerned about our country because those who spoke the truth in it were few and they had already been held in the prisons. Yet, here they are competing to speak the truth without fearing the wrath of the oppressor or his prisons or the courts of oppression and tyranny.
I would not add much if I were to talk about unemployment, poverty, housing problems, the loss of rights, bad services, fees, penalties (for violations), and inflation, etc. All the people know that this is the reality.
Whoever says anything to the contrary knows he is lying, is a hypocrite and is simply paying lip service to those in authority.
Nor would I be adding much if I said that whoever speaks out the truth will be imprisoned and tortured and his reputation will be smeared.
Nor would I be adding much if I said that the judiciary is corrupt and is being manipulated by the princes so as to enable them to rob people of their rights and is being manipulated by the authority so as to inflict its punishment on whoever it wishes in the name of religion.
Nor would I be adding much if I were to say that the country is full of financial corruption, administrative corruption, red tape, nepotism and illusionary projects that wasted billions, even trillions, to no avail.
Nor would I be adding anything new if I were to say that the country is full of immorality, crime and drugs.
However, I might be adding (new things) by saying that those who stand behind all of this corruption, oppression and manipulation of religion are the House of Saud.
Until when shall we continue to fool ourselves and blame it all on the entourage? By God Almighty, those who accuse the entourage know well that the House of Saud are behind all of this. Yet, they continue to do this putt of tuqyah (knowing that what they conceal contradicts what they reveal).
I tell you, believe me, that the talk about the entourage in this way only serves to protect and vindicate the oppressor. I would not rule out the possibility, I would even say it firmly, that the oppressor is happy to see the blame put squarely on the entourage. It is possible, even surely, that it is the oppressor that propagates and spreads this idea believing that such talk would contain people’s anger and frustration.
This, indeed, is what is happening. Whenever you sit in the presence of a group of people you hear them blaming it on the entourage, although they know real well that it is the oppressive House of Saudi that stand behind all of this and not the entourage. The entourage goes and comes while the House of Saud is always there (going nowhere).
The real issue is that we should declare it for all to hear: the problem lies with you, House of Saud. There is no solution to our disasters, catastrophes and the decline of our country except your departure. That is it. There is no other solution.
Those who care have been cautioning you for more than twenty years but the situation only continued to deteriorate. And now, where are those who cared? They are all inside prison.
Therefore, there is no solution except that you can effect yourselves, O people of the peninsula.
Prior to these recordings I was sad that our people had not moved like the rest of the peoples (in the region). But after the recordings (started appearing) I came to the conclusion that the matter is drawing close.
You, young men of the land of the two Shrines, who have earned testimony from the arenas of heroism across the globe, in that you were the first to take part and the bravest among those who took part (in Jihad) everywhere, it is time you are testified for by your own homeland.
It is time the land of the Peninsula testified for you and your heroic acts. You should get ready to move whether by means of making recordings like these or through other means. You are all obliged, religiously, to make a move. The saying of the Prophet Peace be upon him “who he sees an evil should endeavour to remove it” applies to all. It does apply to all without exception and no one is excused. Do not hesitate.
Do not hesitate at all. An action of this sort is categorised in the highest ranks of jihad. Seek help from God and have trust in his. “Whoever places his trust in God, God is enough for him”.
I am optimistic that (we shall see) hundreds, even thousands, of recordings (made and published). May God provide victory or some other (success). He is most capable.
May the peace and mercy of God be upon you
