Government reshuffle in the house of Saud

With the return of Crown Prince Sul­tan, Saudi sources said that the prepa­ra­tion to re-arranging the House of Saud are already started. Al-Wakad web­site reported that there will a group meet­ing with the Saudi King Abdul­lah Bin Abdul Aziz and his broth­ers (sons of King Abdul Aziz) to dis­cuss the suc­ces­sion sys­tem, after a cel­e­bra­tion din­ner of the return of the Crown Prince.

The source expects a wide Saudi gov­ern­ment reshuf­fle, which will prob­a­bly exempts the Saudi Crown Prince Sul­tan bin Abdul Aziz from his post as Min­is­ter of Defense and the Crown Prince “with his request” and later will includes the exemp­tions and other min­is­ters for the same reason.
