Human rights and internal power struggle in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is globally recognized for three things. One, deserts form a major part of the geography, two the country is a top producer of oil and three, the country has a fiercely conservative government and society. But the third notion is not necessarily true and is subject to change and that change is now knocking on Saudi Arabia's door. Because even though the government has conservative regulations, that forbid basic women's rights, there is also a growing segment of the society that is asking for change. Especially among the youth of the country. But this reformist view is also shared by many of the top figures in the House of Saud. Despite all of this, the country has not implemented any meaningful change. So what exactly is holding Saudi Arabia back?
