In the aftermath of the invasion, many Kuwaiti refugees escaped to Saudi Arabia. Among these refugees, American soldiers came to keep Saddam from invading Saudi Arabia as well. In the chaos of these events, women began driving in Riyadh. When Sultana heard this, she became very excited, convinced it meant a change in attitudes. However, Sultana soon learned that these women were abused; their families harassed, and one woman was rumored to have been killed. Sultana was saddened by these events.
