Now, it will be really tough for the Saudi government to tackle the hardliners, said Kamran Bokhari. Bokhari, the senior analyst with ‘Geopolitical Futures’ intelligence firm and a senior fellow with the Centre for Global Policy, explained: “The Saudis will have to deal with some pushback – both from those who oppose the reforms and from those who don’t think they go far enough. They also have to contend with the most radical element of society: jihadists.”
