Following negotiations between the Ugandan and Saudi Arabian governments, 146 Ugandan migrant workers were released back to their country from various Saudi Arabian prisons or centers. These moves are part of a broader initiative involving the UAE to help legal issues facing some Ugandan migrant workers. The repatriation program is set to last for 90 days, and the Ugandan Prime Minister urged its citizens that are currently in one of the two countries to take advantage of this program, especially those without proper documentation or dealing with legal issues. The Prime Minister emphasized that the role of the Ugandan government was to help integrate these citizens back into the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article explains a step taken by the Ugandan and Saudi Arabian government in order to create a better world. There had been concerns in the past of how Saudi Arabia was treating the Ugandan migrant workers, even though the two countries have historically not had much relations. This initiative may strengthen their bond further, and it also may be Saudi Arabia\u2019s attempt at changing the view the world has of them. I think Saudi Arabia is aiming to look like a developed country and is doing this by trying to fix their humanitarian issues. This may mean a change in the Middle East, and I\u2019m interested to see if other Middle Eastern countries follow Saudi Arabia and the UAE\u2019s steps towards reform or go on a different path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great example of liberal theory in our world. Saudi Arabia is working toward the greater good of the world and is doing this by attempting to solve their humanitarian problems. Saudi Arabia also wants to develop stronger alliances with countries such as Uganda. Of the liberal theory subsets, I think the one most exemplified in this situation is commercial liberal theory. If Saudi Arabia were to keep harming or even just keeping Ugandan migrant workers, eventually Uganda was going to respond. One of the first ways they could have responded is through economic sanctions or ceasing to trade with Saudi Arabia. Luckily, it did not come to this point. They put their economic interests above power struggles\/conflict. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
