The stories from that place in past years and their consistency... How workers or nannies are treated like literal slaves, sanctioned or not (or at least out in plain sight and completely unpunished). Nepalis, Philipinos and similar nationalities with 0 possibilities to defend themselves, and often even run away since passports were forcibly taken.

That place has absolutely nothing in common with western morals and mindset, rather being few centuries behind. Think about it next time you buy any product from there (and good luck with oil obviously, so this crap falls on most of us in tiny pieces).

But I guess military bases there trump some pesky human rights, as long as they are not westerners.
