A year after the assassination of the Saudi opposition leader Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey, Mohamed Ben Salman is released by all his allies and lives completely recluse.
A year ago, Saudi opposition leader Jamal Khashoggi was assassinated in Turkey. The Saudi Crown Prince claims not to have given the order to kill him, but claims responsibility as the ruler of the kingdom. The reality is that for a year, everything is bad for MBS ...
At 1 pm, Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and did not come out. The commando of killers congratulated themselves in advance on treating him as a sacrificial animal. He was immolated, cut in pieces and he disappeared.
The only thing missing is that we can not bury them.
Jamal Khashoggi is dead and Mohamed Ben Salman goes to hell. The crown prince passed for an enlightened despot. The world looked elsewhere when it ransomed the court or cut off the heads of the rebellious Shiites. It is his face that he loses now. We boasted his 2030 vision of connected city. This ruinous utopia no longer interests anyone. The privatization of Aramco, the national company, was expected to yield trillions of dollars. Completed ! Oil facilities bombed by missiles must be repaired with complete impunity.
MBS believed himself the champion of Sunni Islam. The Houtis taunt him, the Iranians humiliate him, the Qataris challenge him and the US Senate denounces him. He is released by all his allies. Donald Trump had bet on him to make peace with Israel, settle the Palestinian issue and cut food to jihad. The great strategic plan of the American is stillborn, MBS too.
He lives back to the wall, protected by mercenaries from his family who hate him, locked up like a tomb.
The eye is in the grave and Khashoggi is looking at it.
