In late 1979, as the Grand Mosque siege gripped Mecca, a separate and largely forgotten uprising erupted in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. Thousands of Shia protesters took to the streets of Qatif, Awamiya, and Safwa, demanding an end to sectarian discrimination and a greater share of the oil wealth that came from their land. The regime of King Khaled and Crown Prince Fahd responded with a brutal crackdown, but the uprising—inspired by the Iranian Revolution and rooted in decades of marginalization—forced the Al Saud to finally acknowledge their Shia minority. This episode explores the causes of the 1979 Qatif Intifada, the key role of Shia clerics like Sheikh Hasan al-Saffar, and the lasting impact on Saudi politics, including the 1993 accord and the rise of the reform movement that continues today. We also discuss how the oil industry's development in Al-Ahsa and the arrival of Aramco transformed the region's demographics and grievances. #QatifUprising #ShiaInSaudi #EasternProvince #HasanAlSaffar #1979 #IranianRevolution #KingKhaled #CrownPrinceFahd #SaudiShia #Awamiya #Safwa #OilAndPolitics #Sectarianism #AlAhsa #Aramco #SaudiHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
