Because they’re the only country that applied for the post. That’s a fact.
Maybe other countries then stayed out of the running to force the spotlight on Saudi Arabia? That’s an opinion.
Why didn’t other countries apply? Is it a costly undertaking?
As I said, I’m guessing the other countries bowed out to let the Kingdom squirm.
“All right boys! You wanna talk gender equality? Go for it.”
It’s a game they didn’t want to win. I love high-level diplomacy like this. Wild shit.
The rest of the countries are tired of women having rights, they brought Saudi in to shut it down without any guilt on their parts
