Saudi King Salman, his brothers and the Allegiance Councilnote

Saudi King Salman is said to be holding consultations with his brothers over the future of the Saudi Allegiance Council.

This is likely to have to do with his policy to contain the situation within the ruling Al-Saud family following the anti-corruption crackdown in the country and to put again on track his plans to secure a peaceful transition of power in the Kingdom from him to his son Crown Prince Mohammad.

Tactical Report has prepared a 394-word report to shed light on these consultations. [Briefly reproduced in TR Weekly Issue No 25/10 – March 9, 2018]
