Not just Saudi Arabia? And there are heavy rains in some other Arab countries. So not all Arabs suffering from lack of rain. I think you Indonesians must start to distinguish the term "Arab" as an ethnic group, and "Saudi Arabia" as a country. We call Saudi Arabian as "Saudi" not "Arab" because when you say "Arab" it includes Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni, Kuwaiti, etc. Like you won't call yourself "Malayu" to refer people in Jawa. You call yourself "Indonesian". Do you know that Arabs are people from Yemen and Syria, it’s a huge region? Not just Saudi Arabia? And there are heavy rains in some other Arab countries.
