Women in Saudi Arabia are to be allowed to drive - ending a law which made the Gulf nation the only country in the world to forbid female drivers.
On Twitter, the news was being celebrated widely.
The change, which will come into force in June, was announced on state television and in a simultaneous media event in Washington.
This report is skimpy. More details needed. Whose cars will Saudi women drive? Will they be allowed to buy/own cars? Anyway, female driving is a step forward.

Allahu Akbar.
Bai, wouldn't it be better for them if they get to drive someone else's car? I am sure that many women in the US and Canada along with other places wouldn't mind driving cars they didn't have to buy.
