His story could seem like a tale. A young prince becomes the designated successor of his father the king and triumphs over the other suitors. He wants to reform his kingdom and dreams of glory. But he is surrounded by formidable enemies, at court and beyond. It could also be a chilling thriller, set against a backdrop of wars, dollars, betrayal and oil…
A modern “Game of Thrones”, a struggle for power where no holds barred, where cynicism and idealism serve the same dark purposes. Son of the King of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Ben Salmane, known as MBS, became at thirty-two the designated successor of his father at the head of a country which has the largest oil reserves in the world.
Saudi Arabia, an ally of the West, plays a key role at the heart of the Middle Eastern powder keg and reigns over the main holy sites of Islam. This country, involved in Yemen, is also the second customer of France's arms industry and the first customer of the United States.
MBS is an essential interlocutor in the Middle East and we have to deal with him. He displays decisions that are as radical as they are contradictory.
Sometimes reformer, sometimes authoritarian, he blows hot and cold. Who is he really? What are these deep intentions?
