Karen Elliott House is a journalist and former foreign editor at the Wall Street Journal. She's written about Saudi Arabia for more than four decades and has interviewed the Crown Prince multiple times. She says that his rise to the top was far from assured. MBS was born in 1985, to Salman bin Abdulaziz (who was then a prince and governor of Riyadh...
MBS went to university in Riyadh and received a law degree in 2007 (in Saudi Arabia, this means studying Islamic law as well as secular law). A few years later, he became an adviser to his father Salman, who was still governor of Riyadh. But it was not all smooth sailing for MBS. From 2005-2015, Saudi Arabia was ruled by Salman's half brother – Kin...
After a matter of months in his new role, MBS launched an intervention in Yemen. Broadly, the conflict in Yemen is considered a proxy war between Iran, who is backing the Houthi militia and Saudi Arabia, who is backing the Sunni-led government. Both are trying to limit the other's influence in the region. More than 300,000 people have died in this ...
In 2017, MBS got the promotion he had longed for. King Salman announced a major reshuffle where MBS became Saudi Arabia's crown prince, or the king's designated successor. Graeme Wood, a writer at the Atlantic magazine who has also interviewed MBS, says one of his first moves as crown prince was to do something "extraordinary". MBS rounded up hundr...
Perhaps the biggest event that has occurred during MBS' time in power, at least from international eyes, happened on 2 October 2018, when Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and was never seen again. Sultan vividly remembers the kind of man Khashoggi was. As Wood sums up: "Jamal Khashoggi was kille...
Sultan knows firsthand what it's like to feel the wrath of the Saudi state. One day, back in Saudi Arabia, he was told that the work he was doing was unacceptable to the authorities. "I was called in suddenly by state security," he says, and was told, "You're done". Sultan knew he had to leave the country. Immediately. He was able to "get on a flig...
Despite stories like that of Jamal Khashoggi and Sultan, MBS remains popular at home, especially among young Saudis. This is because of a string of major reforms he made to the arch-conservative kingdom. Even Sultan admits he was wowed by MBS' early actions. "[Changes like] bringing in cinemas, letting women drive, getting rid of the hijab, getting...
MBS has also been pushing "Saudi Vision 2030", his grand plan for the kingdom. "It's mostly an economic reform plan that seeks to make Saudi Arabia cutting edge," Elliot House says. One part of it is the US$500 billion ($722 billion) NEOM, an urban development project that includes the Line, a 170 kilometre long, 500 metre tall linear city. "What I...
So what does MBS want to do with all this power he's accumulated? "And just grow it to be something so that he has a legacy." Sultan says MBS "wants to be remembered as the man who got rid of the religious police. And as the man who moved the country out of the dark ages, and in many ways he's achieving that". But he adds that in Saudi Arabia, noth...
