The man who changed the whole game in Saudi Arabia, the current crown prince of the kingdom, Mohammed bin Salman, has been referred to as the greatest Arab to have sat on the throne for centuries. However, Mohammed bin Salman still had to time to become King, but as it seems, he took too many big steps way too fast.
Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS, has always been a futurist, somebody who is far too mature for his age and sees far further than many more wise than him. It was MBS who toppled the crown-ship of his cousin, Prince Muhammed Bin Nayef. It was Nayef who was to be the King after Salman, but not before MBS.
Mohammed Bin Salman than efficiently overtook the country’s affairs, including its Defense and foreign policy. In the last year or so, ever since Trump took over, Saudi Arabia and United States have been at their closest, signing military deals and what not. Furthermore, MBS has also extended his love and favoritism towards Israel, something that the Muslim world now despises.
A few weeks ago, an attack took place in Saudi Arabia, mantled by a drone in Riyadh near the Prince’s palace. Many had earlier suggested that it was nothing but a spy drone that been caught. However, as per Russian media, the attack on the same day lead to Mohammed bin Salman’s death. Some suggest he was heavily injured, sustaining bullet wounds, and passed away later on.
However, others suggest that since that attack Mohammed bin Salman has been too scared to take the stage and meet people. He fears for his life, as dozens of Saudi princes are conspiring against him now.
This is what people on social media think about MBS’ sudden disappearance
Where’s Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman?
Nearly a month ago, on 21st April, there were reports of an attack on the Royal Palace in Riyadh.
Bin Salman has made one public appearance since, on 28th April, but otherwise he has disappeared from public view.
What’s going on?
