‘An other face of Saudi Arabia – Brave women and cyber youth’ by Liisa Liimatainen

The book questions the idea that Saudi Arabia is just a stable country inhabited by rich and happy Saudis. Liimatainen reminds her readers that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia suffers from serious social problems (youth unemployment is around 40 %, poverty 40 % and housing problems affect 60 % of the population) today. Many Saudis are beginning to understand these problems as the incapacity of ruling system of the Al-Saud dynasty to solve many of the difficulties of the country.
