Saudi Arabia King Abdullah died on Friday after in charge of the country for 10 years, world leaders including British Prime Minister and French president, have gathered there to pay their respect. Mr. Obama also will be there on Tuesday right after visiting India. 

World leaders show their tributes to the late king for his contributions to the world. However, human rights groups argue that Abdullah had suppressed human rights in Saudi Arabia. In the eyes of Saudi Arabian, he actually was a reformer while the new king is a staunch conservative.

All in all, because of the succession of monarch, Saudi Arabia no doubt will meet a series of challenges. Reforms, terrorism, economy... The new king Salman bears huge responsibility for leading the country well.
