One of the opponents of the ruling regime in Saudi Arabia stressed that if the Crown Prince “continues his work, we will see a new Saddam Hussein in the region.”
Omar Abdul Aziz, one of Saudi Arabia’s opponents, stressed the need to remove Crown Prince Mohammed bin, Salman.
Abdul Aziz said that if bin Salman “continues his work, we will see a new Saddam Hussein in the region.”
“We have alternatives in the Al-Saud family, although I do not like them, the release of some of them will put pressure on Muhammad bin Salman,” Al-Khaleej Al-Jadeed news website quoted the Saudi opposition as saying.
“We want to speak freely in Saudi Arabia,” he said. “We are not against bin Salman’s reforms … but reform can be done without killing people and detaining thousands.”
“We need to do more,” said Abdul Aziz. Muhammad bin Salman must be personally sanctioned. “He does not seem to have learned from the past.”
Stating that efforts should be made to oust bin Salman, the Saudi opposition noted that bin Salman was “not a threat to Saudi Arabia alone, but a threat to the entire region.”
Expressing satisfaction with the current US administration’s decision to lift the secrecy of the report on the assassination of Jamal Khashgechi, a journalist critical of Al Saud, he stressed that the message of Khashgechi’s murder at the Riyadh consulate in Istanbul was: “We will pursue you and you will not be safe.”
