Where is Mohammed Bin Salman- More then a month since he's been seen publicly.Saudi Arabia has released a new video. Featuring Bin Salman at some random meeting.The video included below with the newsweek article is not the recently released video- Making it's inclusion a weird choice for the article titled: Where’s Mohammed bin Salman? Not Dead, According to Saudi Arabia
Saudi authorities have released new video footage of Mohammed bin Salman amid conspiracy theories alleging the crown prince has been dead for more than a month.The undated video shows Salman chairing a meeting of the Council of Economic Affairs and Development in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that apparently took place on May 29, according to CNN.
On April 21, heavy gunfire was heard around the royal palace in Riyadh. According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the shots were fired by security guards neutralizing a hobby drone flown within the palace perimeter. There were no casualties, and 82-year-old King Salman was not at his palace, a Saudi official told Reuters at the time.
However, questions arose regarding the whereabouts of the crown prince, who usually has a high media profile and is regularly seen meeting fellow leaders and chairing events. Unusually, he was not pictured or filmed by Saudi media for several weeks after the drone was shot down.
So if he's not dead, was he injured? Is he in hiding? Why no public appearances in all this time? Admittedly I'm curious.The recently released video is available here Still thinking it would be better to have a public appearance in a setting that can be identified as occurring present day .Toronto Star had an interesting oped regarding Saudi Arabia.Time to expose Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman for the tyrant that he isThe headline and content struck me as odd since Bin Salman is always presented as a reformer and a modernizer.
