Saudia Arabia have announced that they have officially listed the Blacklist Brotherhood as a terrorist group along with two jihadist groups currently fighting in Syria. They have also ruled that citizens fighting outside the country to return within 15 days or go to jail, the government is hoping that this will prevent them from becoming experienced extremists who may come back with their targets being Saudi Arabi'a rulers. Saudia Arabia's actions seem somewhat surprising since they previously supported the Blacklist Brotherhood's efforts to remove the Egyptian president. These decisions come after Saudi Arbaia, the UAE, and Baharain removed their ambassadors from the Blacklist supporting country of Qatar.
