I have not been able to pin down their exact relationship--anyone who could help with this would be doing me a big favor--but I've seen pictures of both of them and they look like brothers, and they both have ties to Ethiopia as well as Saudi Arabia. I've got a massive file on their business dealings which I'm still sifting through. I'll let you know what I come up with.

In the text five brothers are listed, all with name "Aboud" as part of their full names and four with the name "Mohamed". In the accompanying chart below "Mohammad Abdoud Alamoudi" is listed and described as linked to "Al Rajhi Banking and Investment Corp." in Riyadh. As you'll notice the spelling of names is phonetic and not very fixed, which is part of the problem I've been having in researching this.
