MBS is NOT the most powerful Crown Prince yet, even though he’s jailed all of his brothers and sisters and cousins trying to secure power from the King. MBS is the Rogue Crown Prince. And the king is too old and senile to be able to control him it’s a sad situation in Saudi Arabia.

Up until Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s killing on October 2, the Saudis were on a charm offensive – building brand new megacities, investing in tech start-ups and letting women drive.

The world’s biggest oil exporter did everything it could to convince the world it was serious about change, and investor confidence was growing. This plan for the future was the brainchild of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who was feted as a reformer.
