@Mangus Ortus Novem
Thank you for summoning me here.
I think I am on the verge of figuring out the real problem here.
@Mangus Ortus Novem , Don’t read any further, Make a guess for 5 seconds first. Hint : Cheap imported labor, Job market.

So, There could be some major political reason of this unrest as well, But what I have figured out yet is actually the frustration of collective local population of respective GCC countries, Struggling with jobs due to cheap imported labor.
Now, Let me explain it in further detail. Local Arabs mostly hold jobs with handsome salary even if just a receptionist, Can be paid anywhere above 18k SAR/AED, While at the same time, an expat around 2k or even below if an indian or Philippines. Most of the time, A Pakistani won’t accept such low salary, Would better run back to Pak.
Now, The HR situation in the country, Expenses of operating businesses and Hotels, Doesn’t allow a company to pay such high salaries to Local Arab population, So these companies opt for cheaper options, Plus, Many of the times, These same High salary demanding people Are not upto the required level of expertise but they can be polished in time, One feature of Arabs I like and admire, Willing to learn things if the mind allows and sets aside small presiding arrogance.
Come to Modi India, More and more people running away like never before, GCC one of the prime spot, Most of the runaways are Bachelors or masters, Seeking jobs, Yet empty handed most of the times due to existing business crisis.
Just imagine, If people demanding 1k for a profession with academic requirements, How can a local arab get the job with demand of 20k plus ?
Job crisis... Foreign businesses packing up, Getting away, World has never been the same after 2007 crisis, GCC was left fragile.
Local population becoming frustrated due to lack of promising jobs and others that are available, being held By Europeans, Chinese or some Other Indian.
Bubbles always burst, One thing I noticed in this Twitter Saga is that not only are the big guns playing the words, But common folks are readily backing them up, As if they have wanted that for years...
Nevertheless, Recent years have seen the GCC countries governments putting their own up for educational advancements and skills gathering, Introducing them openly in the local job market, Giving them a better share. Oil is a turmoil now.
