An analyst says Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is “flexing his muscles” to remove all the “power brokers” in the royal family.
Dozens of princes, ministers and former ministers have been detained by Saudi Arabia’s Anti-Corruption Committee.
“In fact what we are witnessing now in Saudi Arabia is a coup d'état against the Saudi political system and tradition, against also the succession system inside Al Saud family, destroying the hierarchy and the seniority among the royals and a revolution against all the guidelines and instructions of the founding father of that kingdom, King Abdulaziz,” Aly el-Kabbany told Press TV in an interview on Sunday.
