If there are Muslim Ethiopians among them, why not send them to Syria to fight Assad, if they are willing volunteers.

Why don't you go?

How about he goes and you also fight for the other side against him. Now if you have nothing to say on topic then zip your mouth or go rant somewhere else.

I am not the one who asked to send fighters. It's Syria's problem and let Syrians decide it. Neither you nor me have the right to intervene. Do you understand?

And on topic, I am all for arresting these scumbags who cause trouble wherever they go.

Who the fOok are you to lecture me or my country's stance to the syrian crisis. why don't you pock your nose in whatever matters to you and leave that aside. Syria is an arab country and part of the Arab league. Before mouthing you should get an idea about the Arab league conventions.

Good.

So if the Syrian member here support Bashar, who are you to say what's good for him? Your logic is hard to understand. If you want only Arabs to comment on Arab matters in a Pakistani forum, why not ask mods to lock the section for outsiders? Maybe you should come down to earth from the palace you have created for yourself in clouds.

They are illegals and muslims by name only. You wanna know who they got in exactly like how mexicans get into Cali by crossing the border. They are very dangerous and guess what! they are armed. They have attacked families, and individuals as well as police officers. They best way is to deport them back to their mother country. Now KSA-Yemen border is sealed and heavy monitored so no chances of getting in anymore.

If they are of no use and came in illegally, then best thing is to ship them back to where ever they came from. How dare they riot and attack people?

You can mouth all you want but you can't dictate on others what they do or not in a fight that you have no dog in. So please spare me your nonsense and go take a hike.

Why don't you go?

And why is this a concern of yours?

Bro, sorry to see the damage and children getting hurt by these hooligans. What I don't understand is what do they hope to accomplish with this behavior. They have no right to be there in the first place, it is not their country, they are there illegally and they are engaged in riots! Its just plain crazy. To these dumb people I would like to say, go back and do the rioting in your home country, where you belong, demand jobs and better life from your own govt.

Saudi police clash with foreign workers after visa raids | GlobalPost

Saudi police clash with foreign workers after visa raids

RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabian police clashed with foreign workers in a poor district of Riyadh on Saturday, nearly a week into a visa crackdown in which thousands have been detained and one man killed by police.

Security forces in riot gear fired into the air and used truncheons to disperse large crowds as scores of men ran through the streets, some throwing stones and other missiles at cars and police, according to Reuters witnesses.

It was not clear if many people had been injured in the disturbances in the Manfuhah neighborhood of southern Riyadh, but there were ambulances among the emergency vehicles at one location. Most of the foreign workers involved in the clashes appeared to be Africans.

Authorities this year said they would no longer turn a blind eye to foreign workers breaking visa rules by working for companies that had not sponsored their entry into the world's top oil exporter.

The intention is to end a black market for cheap imported workers, cut the foreign labor force, reduce the flow of remittances to other countries and make more private sector jobs available for Saudi citizens.

A seven-month amnesty for foreigners to rectify their visa status without penalty or leave the country - which prompted an exodus of hundreds of thousands of foreigners - expired on Monday, prompting the start of the crackdown. Thousands have been arrested.

A police statement carried on state media did not refer directly to Saturday's clashes, or say how many had been injured or detained, but said that in light of "what has happened", the authorities had assigned a location for people to surrender voluntarily. A government spokesman said another statement would be issued later.

On Wednesday, an Ethiopian was killed in a raid after he tried to grab a policeman's weapon, the Arab News English-language daily reported on Friday.

Many of those caught in raids on shops, marketplaces, businesses and low-income residential areas are likely to be deported.

Many expatriate workers say they were unable to take advantage of the amnesty because of bureaucratic difficulties or disputes with their original sponsors.

In some streets in Manfuhah, men in Saudi dress had also gathered in small groups, some of them carrying knives and iron bars, saying they were protecting their property. Other people watched from rooftops.

Security forces were called in to maintain peace and order in Riyadh’s southern district of Manfouha on Saturday night after a group of men went on a rampage in anger at the Kingdom’s ongoing campaign against illegal foreign workers.
Armed with knives, the rioters gathered in the district's narrow streets early evening Saturday, threatening policemen, motorists, and pedestrians, reports posted on social networks said.
Some of them smashed cars and shops, prompting anti-riot police to fire into the air and used truncheons to disperse the large crowds, witnesses were also quoted as saying in a Reuters report.
Witnesses said most of the foreign workers involved in the clashes appeared to be Africans, notably Ethiopians.
According to media reports, at least 65 were injured and taken to King Saud Medical City, Prince Salman Hospital and Al-Iman Hospital. The injured, mostly Saudis and legal residents, have suffered knife-stabbing wounds and bruises from the rioters, who were among those receiving hospital treatment.
A large security force cordoned off the central Riyadh district and closed its entry and exit points, arresting a number of the violent illegal workers and calling on the rest of them to turn themselves in, according to Brigadier General, Naser Al-Qahtani, media spokesman for Riyadh Police.
Saudi private citizens joined the police in arresting some of the rampaging illegal workers.
A shelter area has been arranged for the illegal workers on King Abdulaziz Road to speed up the process of their deportation in collaboration with other concerned government departments, Al-Qahtani said.
The acts of vandalism erupted amid strict government round-up of illegal workers across the Kingdom after the end of the amnesty period to legalize their residency and work status last week.

Saudi Arabia should throw out a good portion of expatriates. They are taking up too many jobs that should be given to Saudis.

No, we need to as many Expats in LF as possible. The only issue we have is with the undocumented Expats.

They must go, now we deported over 1.3 million, and around ~ 1 million to go.

It won't make a difference in terms of undocumented Expats
