Saudi Arabian King Sacks Crown Prince, Appoints Son As Replacement

Saudi Arabian King Salman has sacked Muhammad bin Nayef as crown prince, replacing him with his son, Mohammad bin Salman in an anticipated palace coup. Bin Salman, 31, has been his country's defense minister and deputy crown prince, and was instrumental during President Donald Trump's recent decision to visit the Kingdom.

In a series of royal decrees, the 80 year-old ailing monarch stripped Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, who had been positioned to inherit the throne, from his title as crown prince and from his powerful position as the country’s interior minister overseeing security.

The move did not come as a surprise as many Saudi watchers had long suspected his rise to power under his father’s reign might also accelerate his ascension to the throne and ignite infighting within the royal family.
