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?
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
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.
