Now recently a news has come out.
"Saudi Arabia" is asking arms and ammunition from Pakistan to arm Sunni rebels in Syria. See this news. Looks like Saudi Arabia has been caught with its pants down.
Earlier to that there were 'rumors that Pakistan is sending 100,000 troops to Saudi Arabia'. Same rumors were squashed by Pakistani officials who pointed out that when Pakistan is facing hostile neighbours as well as its own internal 'power struggle', it would not be possible for that to happen and there was no truth in those reports.
But the latest news is simply what has been happening over the past several years. The Arab spring which began as 'Arab common man' revolt against authoritarian regimes did not spill over to Saudi Arabia. Why? Simple, because money talks. Saudi Arabia is "Super Oil Rich". And it doled out billions of dollars to its own citizens so that they do not face any 'disgruntlement'.
Then, last year, it engineered a fatal coup in Egypt. Fatal in the sense, it became the 'death knell' for Egyptian common man. Egyptian have lost all hope to recover their country from military rule as Saudi Arabia is doling out billions of dollars to Egypt to ensure that Islamists do not come to power in Egypt and threaten Saudi. It did so because Egypt was in threat of losing US Aid. US is also a double standard country. Earlier, it backed the 'so called Arab spring' but now it is comfortable working with autocratic leaders and does not want to work for democracy. the so called 'crusade for democracy' is a sham by US and its allies.
Saudi Arabia is also sponsoring the Syrian rebels. Initially, EU, US, UK, Turkey were also supporting the rebels but then they realized that the Westerners face 'real threat' from the rebels who are hard core Fundamentalist compared to 'Secular' Govt. of Assad.
Saudi Arabia is also doling out billions of dollars to Lebanon as it wants to weaken the Hezbolla which is Shia.
Assad Govt. and Syria are secular but they are Shia origin. That is why Iran which is Shia is backing Assad. Shias have no problem in being 'secular' but Sunnis can easily become radicalized and become hardcore fundamentalists.
Saudi Arabia is Sunni. And,Saudi Arabia turned to Pakistan. For the past few weeks we have seen news that very big people from the Saudi Royal family have visited Pakistan. Guess what? They are not going there for any 'genuine economic reason' but the reason is 'procuring arms for Syrian rebels'. Saudi Arabia must have been expecting that this news would not leak out. But, looks like some 'insider in Pakistan Govt.' leaked this news out to the world and it really shows how the Shia Sunni divide is deep. Pakistan is a front-line state in this Shia Sunni divide and it looks like just like an earthquake fault-line, the Shia Sunni fault-line runs through Pakistan. And little movement in the front-line, and Pakistan is one of the the first state to be affected.
