The United States was told last year that Saudi security forces were shooting, shelling and abusing groups of migrants, but it chose not to raise the issue publicly.
Russia invaded Ukraine and the US didn’t send troops. The largest economy, most powerful military, veto power in the UN has lots of tools available to pressure Saudi to get their shit together and be decent… if they have an interest in doing so.
Ethopian refugees are probably not worth it for the US to call in a diplomatic favor from the Saudis… or threaten some sanctions even.
