With an uncertain situation for the people who reside in those regions there is continued violence, which has been spiraling out of control with rising civilian deaths reaching catastrophic proportions across entire neighborhoods in some regions.
Much of the cities have been turned to rubble. tur and new reports that both the water and electricity have been cut off to the destroyed town of Al-Awamiya.
Hundreds of individuals continue to upload insane footage from the ground onto social media platforms where civil war tier violence begins to escalate.
Some of the footage displays that entire neighborhoods have been leveled by government funded construction crews who have barricaded themselves with secure bulletproof panels onto the demolition vehicles to protect them.
All across the globe both international and US media have remained largely silent as to what's occurring.

Increased boiling points have been overwhelming the stove top heating elements which are now burning the innocent Shia populated in the Qatif governorate throughout the past year and this summer especially.

Back in January a widely published execution of prominent Shia cleric and Al-Awamiya native Nimr al-Nimr along with 14 individual Shia citizens.
Included in that crackdown was Mujtaba al-Sweikat, who is an American a student who is currently enrolled at Western Michigan University, is now waiting for his execution upon the signature of King Salman.
American media is silent over this, which is tragic. The torture and mass trial of the civilians charged with "protest-related" crimes continues to go ignored in the region.
Large protests against the Saudi monarchy and security services have been frequent in Qatif going all the way back to the start of the so-called "Arab Spring".

Most major international media outlets have tended to ignore such protests occurring under US/UK friendly regimes.
