Al-Saud schism re-emerges over Yemen

Tensions have again broken out into the open within the senior ranks of the Saudi royal family, with Prince Ahmed Bin Abdelaziz once more acting as the lightening rod for Al-Saud dissatisfaction with the often contentious rule of the Al-Salman. Prince Ahmed – the youngest of the ruling family’s ‘Sudairi Seven’ brothers – was recorded speaking to protestors outside his London residence on 4 September about his brother King Salman, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) and the Yemen war.
