Still no MbS:
Golly! Wild rumours indeed.
Many thanks for that link. Definite evidence that something strange is happening.
If you drive a fuel guzzler watch out, prices will rise.
The latest “cabinet meeting” pics are also now shown to be false - these are old photos.

Yes, the above is really no news, and that is the case, i.e. no news.
The Nation is far left, so consider the source
BTW here is a rumor that MbS today is keeping a low profile in order to trick his opponents to disclose themselves and then take care of them https://twitter.com/mujtahidd/status/1001467339655794690
Whatever works
here is a map from https://www.vox.com/a/maps-explain-the-middle-east
The dialects of Arabic today
This map shows the vast extent of the Arabic-speaking world and the linguistic diversity within it. Both go back to the Caliphates of the sixth and seventh century, which spread Arabic from its birthplace on the Arabian Peninsula across Africa and the Middle East. Over the last 1,300 years the language's many speakers have diverged into distinct, sometimes very different, dialects. Something to look at here: where the dialects do and do not line up with present-day political borders. In places where they don't line up, you're seeing national borders that are less likely to line up with actual communities, and in some cases more likely to create problems.
According to this https://www.raialyoum.com/index.php/%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%AF-%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%AB%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%8A-%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%BA%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9/ MbS is afraid of new attacks from his relatives
I haven’t seen the MbS story reported by any major news organizations, so it makes me lean towards his being alive
But the odd thing is that the Saudi news sites have published pictures of MbS, but it was possible to prove that those pictures were old. See earlier in this thread.
