Hundreds of people have reportedly been fleeing a town in eastern Saudi Arabia after weeks of clashes between the security forces and armed men.

The authorities have been trying since May to demolish the old quarter of Awamiya, saying Shia militants use its narrow streets as a hideout.

Activists accuse security forces of trying to force out residents.

It is the latest intensification of sporadic unrest in the Eastern Province, which is largely Shia.

At least seven people, including two police officers, have been killed in the clashes, Reuters news agency said.

Local activists say Saudi forces have been firing randomly towards homes and cars, and that buildings have been damaged or burned in the fighting.

"No one is going out. If you go out, you will be shot by snipers," one activist told the BBC.

People in the town are running out of drinking water and electricity has been cut off in stiflingly hot temperatures, a resident told the BBC's Newshour programme, with the young, the old and the infirm especially badly affected.

"All of Awamiya is encircled and under siege," the resident said, adding that food is also in short supply.

Awamiya is one of the richest areas in Saudi Arabia because of its oil resources, the resident said.

"What we are talking about is the issue of forced migration [of Shia people] under the pretext of fighting armed resistance," he said, "with people not being allowed to return once they have left."

Some residents have appealed to the Saudi authorities to help them leave and families have been given accommodation in a nearby town, Saudi media reported.
Shia residents of the region around the city of Qatif have long complained that they are marginalised and discriminated against by the Sunni authorities.

In May the UN criticised the Saudi attempt to demolish Awamiya's 400-year-old al-Masora quarter, home to between 2,000 and 3,000 people, saying it threatened historical and cultural heritage.

The Saudi authorities had imposed power cuts on residents to try to make them leave, said the UN Special Rapporteur on housing, Leilani Farha.

Anti-government demonstrations in Eastern Province began after the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, and protests and attacks have become more frequent since the January 2016 execution of the prominent Shia cleric Nimr al-Nimr.

The Devil kingdom decided to demolish, so people of Awamiya must listen to devils. devils will demolish even if people do not vacate. For their own safety people should vacate their homes and move to safer places and wait. it is now only few years away that devil babylon will fall.

Najd, mentioned in hadith, is in Iraq not in Saudi Arabia.

why you people fool yourself ?

Iraq has Kufa, which was a garrison city built by your caliph Omar and was capital of Islamic Caliphate during the period of Imam Ali A.S. Baghdad & Damascus too remained capital of Islamic Caliphate for long time. The southern most part of Iraq is Basrah where one wife of Prophet pbuh rebelled against the Islamic Caliph and Battle of Jamal was fought against her in defence of the Islamic Caliphate. There is no sign of najd in Iraq in contrary to what babylonian wahabi terrorists are claiming and trying to fool people.

Najd is a big region in the arabian desert starting from the east of Hejaz and Riyadh is the centre of the New Mysterious babylon. Riyadh is centre of Najd.

Most traditional scholars Sunni and Shia agree Najd is the deserts of Saudi, all the signs point to it.

But obviously google scholars and "I am just Muslims" who love Wahhabistan disagree.

Not that irrelevant, all connected and work like gears connected to each other.
The problem is that PAKISTAN was shown as a new fabricated KHORASAN for the fools.
This fabrication not produced desired results.
Paradoxial policies are now becoming failed policies.
https://www.dawn.com/news/1349856

new drama is needed. https://www.dawn.com/news/1350248/jud-founds-party-to-contest-next-polls
that will fail too and Shifting Shia killings to Afghanistan too will not work anymore.

Lucifer heat waves cannot eliminate shiites from Arabia or elsewhere.
so bombing awamiyah or yemen or iraq or syria is not going to produce desired results.

I am not sure if they have invented bombs who asks whether a human is shia sunni jew christian or hindu bhuddist before exploding.
If you have tangible proof that it does. Please do indulge.
Khorasan or not Pakistan is Pakistan. It has no place for sectarianism. Stop your own victimization first which is what you can do.

‘Almost like war zone’: Saudi ‘renovation’ of Shiite town decried as attempt to drive residents out

“The city has been empty, completely empty. No movement on the streets, nobody's out because soldiers were actually around the city, just shooting everybody who's in the streets,” he said.

“If you hear the sounds of shootings outside – it's almost like a war zone. It's not actually far from what's happening in Iraq and Syria,” the witness to the Saudi operation added.

“Awamiya is under fire now,” another resident said. “Random shooting is everywhere, shelling, but I think it's getting worse and worse. They started to use tanks against civilians.”

The third witness told RT that the locals aren’t buying into Saudi claims of renovating the town.

“The renovation is just the facade or the cover that the government is using to evacuate the area, to make the original people leave. The government wants to control the area, and the only way the government can control the area is demolish it completely and rebuild it according to the government standards,” he said.

The small town of Awamiya, located in predominantly Shiite-populated Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, has been the scene of violent skirmishes between the kingdom’s security forces and local insurgents for years. Since May, the authorities have been trying to bulldoze the old quarter of the town, claiming that Shiite militants use its curved, narrow streets for cover.

Following anti-government unrest in the town of just 30,000 people, the Saudi military has placed most of Awamiya under siege. Fighting intensified earlier in August when Riyadh deployed Special Forces to clear the old quarter, also known as Almosara.

The authorities maintained that skirmishes erupted after unidentified “terrorists” fired at workers contracted by a development company running a controversial renovation project in Awamiyah. The perpetrators also allegedly used explosives to knock the construction equipment out of operation.

Despite the ongoing military operation in Awamiyah, the authorities keep insisting the demolition has nothing to do with fighting. The bulldozers, they say, are preparing the area for the construction of shopping centers, office high-rises, greenspaces and fountains in place of Almosara neighborhood.

“We informed everyone in the community there would be development stages for several areas in Qatif, starting with [Almosara],” Esam Abdullatef Almulla, the region's acting mayor, told Reuters on Wednesday.

However, news coming from the troubled, depressed town suggests the situation may be worlds apart from the official government statements. Earlier, the Saudi authorities introduced power cuts on residents to force them out of the town, according to the UN Special Rapporteur on housing, Leilani Farha.

There are also signs the Saudi forces’ offensive on Awamiyah takes the shape of sectarian strife. Some commandos posed standing inside a local mosque on a portrait of influential Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr, who was executed in January 2016 after Riyadh charged him with terrorism. The execution triggered massive outrage across the Shiite community across the world.

Awamiyah is the native town of Al-Nimr, who was also imam at the local mosque. The cleric is considered to be one of the leaders behind the 2011 protest movement and a vocal critic of the Saudi government’s treatment of Shiite minority.

According to the latest data from the European Saudi Organization for Human Rights, three people died and over 25 have been injured in the course of the Saudi government’s raids in Awamiyah since May 10. Hundreds of families were evicted from their homes, 10 homes were burned down and over 50 cars have been damaged.

“The Saudi attack on Awamiyah is the largest and longest military campaign inside the country since the establishment of Saudi Arabia in 1932,” Ali al-Ahmad, head of the Gulf Institute for Human Rights, commented on RT, adding it is unlikely if the international community could make the difference.

“I don’t really put too much stake on the United States, or Canada or the UK – all these countries have provided training, weaponry and assistance to the Saudi forces … in fact they try to support the monarchy while maintaining the appearance of civility and democracy,” he said.
