Did bin Salman achieve anything on the fourth anniversary of his allegiance?
It has been four years since the reign of Muhammad ibn Salman after the ouster of Muhammad ibn Nayef and his election as Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and Minister of Defense, but did he achieve anything during his era?
The history of Muhammad ibn Salman since taking over high positions in the country is full of internal and external crises and direct and indirect wars, elimination of opponents and bribery and dismissal of relatives and officials from their jobs and confiscation of princes’ property, and severance of ties with the countries of the region, neighbors, and friends, and the announcement of big projects will pass without their implementation.
With the removal of Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz Al Saud from the Crown Prince at his request (according to informed sources he was forced to do so) on April 29, 2015, and the election of Muhammad bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al Saud as Crown Prince, a royal decree based on the election of Muhammad bin Salman he was appointed as the Crown Prince and elected as the second Deputy Minister in the Council of Ministers, continuing his position in the Ministry of Defense and Chairman of the Economic and Development Council.
His first attempt to create a crisis was to invade Yemen, and he thought he would achieve his goals in two weeks, as he had announced, killing tens of thousands of civilians and injuring hundreds of thousands, and committing crimes and destroying infrastructure and spreading diseases and crises. Were formed in the shadow of the siege of Saudi Arabia. In short Saudi Prince could achieve his goals in Yemen.
But the aggression has turned into a quagmire after years in which Saudi Arabia has fallen and its allies are trying to evade it, and the Yemeni army has shifted from a defensive position to attacking and conducting special operations deep inside Saudi Arabia. Through mediation, Saudi Arabia seeks negotiations to end this crisis with the least casualties, and with this action, Saudi Arabia has provided a lot of facilities, costs, and casualties, and its position in the region has been reduced and all the rules of the conflict have changed.
In 2016, Bin Salman announced the vision of 2030, which is a new stage in development policy and economy and includes development plans and programs in the economic and social sectors, and according to Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia is a successful and pioneering model in the world in all The context is an issue that has not yet been realized.
In 2017, Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Qatar and encouraged the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt to do the same under the pretext of Qatar supporting terrorism, and the country was besieged by land, air, and sea.
It was not accepted at the Cooperation Council meetings that Saudi Arabia also severed its ties with Turkey, had previously severed ties with Iran, and its relations with Canada and Pakistan became critical.
In an unprecedented and sudden move, about 400 of Saudi Arabia’s most powerful figures, including princes, businessmen, and ministers, were arrested and imprisoned at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the largest and most controversial clean-up operation in contemporary Saudi history.
The British Guardian newspaper wrote in its exclusive report that the arrests shook the foundation of Saudi society and soon turned high-ranking officials into targets for detention, breaking the law, destroying financial deposits, and seizing commercial empires, and government and The influential elites disappeared in the blink of an eye, and these reports emphasize that this action was ordered by Muhammad ibn Salman and under his supervision.
On October 2, 2018, Mohammad bin Salman took another bold step, and information about Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi opposition journalist, was cut off as soon as he entered the Saudi consulate building in Istanbul, where, according to Khadijeh Changiz, Jamal’s fiancé had gone to register his marriage documents. She was also waiting outside but never left and informed the Turkish authorities about his disappearance, while the Saudi officials issued statements denying the news and denied that he had not left and insisted that he had left after a short time.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said on October 5 that Khashgechi had left the building and that Saudi Arabia was ready for Turkey to enter the building and inspect the consulate. He has not left the embassy.
He stated that Khashoggi had died following an argument with his forces, but reports from Turkish investigators and security officials indicated that Mohammad bin Salman had sent a task force to kill Khashgeji, where he was killed and dismembered, and then acid. It has melted and many countries and legal and judicial organizations have strongly condemned this crime.
Given the failures and problems and crises that have been created during the tenure of Muhammad bin Salman, did bin Salman and the cyber army of the Saudi Crown Prince achieve significant results after 4 years of allegiance to him?
