300 Nepalese forced to live on starvation wages hungry in Saudi Arabia.As Saudi Arabia began bombing Yemen last year, tension rose not only in the Gulf but also in the Nepal Embassy in Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia is not just involved in Yemen, but is fighting several proxy wars across the Middle East – from Iraq to Syria. There is simmering tension with Iran, which has more or less annexed Iraq. The falling price of crude oil, as well as the cost of waging conflict has meant that in 2015, Saudi Arabia recorded its largest budget deficit since the Gulf War.
