Saudi Arabia
Mohammed bin Salman
Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud comonly referred by his initials MBS is the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia and is considered to be the de-facto ruler of the Kingdom since 2017. MBS was appointed crown prince on 21 June 2017, following the King's decision to depose Muhammad bin Nayef (MBN) and make his own son the heir to the throne. To further consolidate power and crush political opposition MBS initiated a broad anti-corruption campaign that lasted 4 November 2017–30 January 2019, during which several hundreds of prominent Saudi Arabian princes, government ministers, and businesspeople were arrested and had their assets seized, by the State. On 2 October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident journalist was assassinated by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
In response to foreign criticism and women's rights activism; MBS has implemented modest reforms to improve women's rights in Saudi Arabia, such as lifting the ban on female drivers and has taken steps to dismantle the infamous Wali (Male Guardian) system such as enacting laws that allows women above 21 years old to obtain passports and travel abroad and starting their own business without needing the permission of their male guardians. He has also severely curbed powers of the religious police banning them from pursuing, questioning, asking for identification, arresting and detaining anyone suspected of a crime. "
US-Saudi relations have deteriorated significantly under MBS, possibly due to the Kingdom’s deepening ties with Russia and China. MBS encouraged Russian President Vladimir Putin to intervene on the side of Assad’s regime in Syrian Civil War against File:FSA.png the rebels and has supported Chinese President Xi Jinping’s policy towards the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
MBS has throughout his reign been faced with crisis in neighboring Yemen where the Islamist Houthi rebels haave since 2014 taken over Northern Yemen, with the support of Saudi Arab’s long-time rival Iran, splitting the war-torn country in 2 parts. MBS mobilized pan-GCC coalition to overthrow the Houthi-controlled government in Saana by launching air-strikes on critical infrastructure and imposing a naval blockade. Things have not gone according to plan, and the Yemeni Civil War continues to this day with and have resulted over 100 000 civilian casualties on both sides. Recent counter attacks by the Houthi on Saudi soil have caused MBS cause to re-evaluate the Kingdom’s relation with Iran and have in recently attempted to make peace with Saudi Arabia long-standing rival which could end to the proxy conflict between the two nations.
