Khashoggi, and MBS’s overlooked human rights abuses
Days after the second anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s death, The Take is exploring MBS’s global rise to power.
A flurry of condemnations, proposed sanctions, and canceled arms deals against Saudi Arabia followed Jamal Khashoggi’s death on October 2, 2018. But in the two years since, most countries have resumed normal relations with the kingdom.
Days after the second anniversary of the journalist’s murder, we are exploring Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s rise to power in the country, and on the global stage.
In this episode:
Bradley Hope and Justin Scheck, co-authors of Blood and Oil: Mohammad Bin Salman’s Ruthless Quest for Global Power.
