  1. His face reveals how terrified he is from the inside. In Saudi culture and elder brother is like a father, and so they deserve a lot of respect. But, MbS and his father King Salman bin Abdulaziz both failed to do so. King Abdullah appointed Prince Salman as his crown prince in 2012 following the death of Crown Prince Nayef. In 2013, Prince Muqrin was appointed as Deputy Crown Prince (2nd in line to the Saudi Arabian throne). After the passing of King Abdullah in January 2015, Salman assumed the title of Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques and the most important of all, King of Saudi Arabia. The throne in Saudi Arabia passes through a line of brothers (elder to younger), which is the custom in the Bedouin Arab culture. King Abdulaziz (Ibn Saud), the founder of Saudi Arabia appointed his eldest-surviving son Saud as Crown Prince in 1933. Following the former's death in 1953, Saud became King and appointed his younger brother Faisal as his crown prince. Following Saud's deposition Faisal became King and ruled for eleven years until his assassination by his own nephew. After Faisal came his younger brother Khalid and the tradition continued. From Khalid to Fahd, Fahd to Abdullah and Abdullah to Salman. Salman during the first three months of his reign had Muqrin as his crown prince and then removed him and appointed his nephew Muhammad bin Nayef, of his own Al Sudairi clan. He also paved way for his son to be king by appointing him as the Deputy Crown Prince. Finally Muhammad bin Nayef was sacked, kept under house arrest and Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) took over as Crown Prince. It did not take long until the father-son duo started to remove all potential threats to the throne. They arrested two sons of King Abdullah, Miteb and Turki. Had it not been for Abdullah, these two would not have had the power they hold today. Yet they accused their cousins and relatives for corruption and had them locked up in the Ritz Carlton. Muhammad bin Nayef also reportedly lives in Jeddah under house arrest having committed no crime. Sultan bin Turki II, a nephew of Salman spoke against the kingdom and was lured into Saudi Arabia and his whereabouts are unknown. It still remains unclear how Prince Mansour bin Muqrin (S/o Former Crown Prince Muqrin) died hours after the Saudi purge and whether or not he was killed or he died by accident. So while the others who are just a threat to Salman and his son are all being sacked and killed, including Khashoggi, while Salman is elevating his sons to different positions.
