There is a somewhat backlash against Saudi Arabia following an admittance that Journalist Jamal Khashoggi died in their consulate in Turkey after visiting over an annulment of his previous marriage.
The biggest and most vociferuous criticisms have come from the Turkish government that has ensured the international community payed close attention to any new development from the case.
A diplomatic row between the Saudi and Turkish government followed by several boycotts of Saudi promoted business dealings, stocks and investments probably prompted the Saudis to accept that they indeed have a hand in the fate of Jamal.
As unfortunate as the case has been, the follow-up outrage from the situation has been ridiculous compared to the very little attention the Saudi orchestrated mass murders happening in Yemen.
It begs the question as to when one life became more important than tens of thousands, and if interest now is simply vested.
The most important lesson to pick from a comparison of the two scenarios is that Jamal always had people willing to speak for him like the Turkish government and the Washington Post with whom he was a columnist.
Having credible social manipulators/influencers conveying has become as important as the message itself. It means unfortunately that the oppressed who are voiceless and fill no vested interests, will merely become a blurred part of history.
