Mass job terminations hit hundreds of Yemenis in Saudi Arabia

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
told him his contract would not be renewed, leaving him with a difficult choice: go home to a nation at war or try to find work in another country.He is not alone. Hundreds of medical staff, academics and other professionals in the kingdom’s southern region bordering Yemen have in recent weeks been told they are being let go, several Yemenis told Rooters.

The exact number is not known. Staff said they were not provided justification for government orders to stop renewing contracts of Yemenis.

There has been no official explanation and Saudi and Yemeni authorities did not respond to the requests for comment. Yemeni sources who spoke said they did not know why the dismissals were happening and were unwilling to advance any theories.

, said the move aimed to free up jobs for citizens in the south as part of efforts to tackle Saudi unemployment of 11.7%, and was also driven by security considerations in areas near the war, in which a Saudi-led coalition is fighting Yemen’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

Oh dear. Now all those Saudi MDs are going to have to actually earn their pay by actually treating patients instead of “supervising” the hired medical staff while on site between ten and two. How humiliating for them.

due to political sensitivities, said the directives could affect "tens of thousands" of Yemenis, including labourers. The source did not know why the orders were issued.

"All the Yemeni doctors working in government hospitals (in the south) were told our contracts would not be renewed," said Tayeb, 40, who comes from Ibb in Yemen and whose wife and two children are with him in Saudi Arabia.

Tayeb, who declined to name the hospital where he has worked for six years, said his employer informed him on Monday that the labour office instructed them to halt contract renewals and provide two months’ notice. Tayeb’s contract expires in December.

"We are shocked by this because Yemenis avoid problems, especially with the war because they have no other options to make a living," he told Rooters.

A document from the Saudi Health Ministry dated July 27 and addressed to a hospital in Al Baha in the southwest, an image of which was seen by Rooters, only referenced instructions to "stop issuing new contracts or renew existing contracts for Yemenis".
