Qatif conflict

The Qatif conflict was a modern phase of sectarian tensions and violence in Eastern Arabia between Arab Shia Muslims and the Arab Sunni majority, which had ruled Saudi Arabia from the early 20th century. The conflict encompassed civil unrest that had occurred sporadically from the 1979 uprising, pro-democracy and pro-human rights protests and occasional armed incidents, which intensified in 2017 as part of the 2017–20 Qatif unrest. The conflict ended in 2023.
