It live the next repressive king?
The 50 lashes met the Blogger Raif Badawi, and the 950, which is still out of the judgment, document how it is ordered for freedom of expression and power in Saudi Arabia. Prioritat has the merciless sanctioning of any deviation, that is the frame set.
If that is signaled after the outside, open to travel. In the case of Badawi, this, which was exposed to the second 50s series of the lashes until further notice. Due to a doctor’s side, it is called; However, the prere of the international public was allowed to play a rough role. To what extent the deadly deceased made yesterday has influenced in the matter, is the subject of speculation.
That too is typical of the consumer: outside no one exactly how certain decisions come about. Why one can be made after the death of Abdullah to a whole range of speculation about potential power shifts and successor requirements. Some of the fierce observers of the Middle East are drawing analogies to the US mafia family series Sopranos.
Title of today’s edition of the newspaper Al-Hayat with the new KONY left and the deceased right.
With the death of the Konig results in "New and historical element of uncertainty", Write the Saudi blogger Ahmed Al-Omran, which is less rule-critical of survival, but that is accurate observations of the situation in the consolation, along with its US colleague Bill Spindle in an article for Wall Street Journal. The uncertainty is that the new Konig Salman is the last in the series of Saudi Arabia, Abdelasis, set series of his successors — at 79 years and how it is called, healthy.

Although a crown prince, and even a deputy crown prince, has been appointed to ensure continuity. But the grandchildren are now a lot on the power center, their time is close, successor arrangements that no longer have the basic seal of the land are easier to charge. How rough the differences could be, the example of Bandar IBN Sultan Ibn ABD Al-Asis Al Saud.
Bandar is due "mournfulness" come in no successor to the front places, but he has demonstrated in his time as an intelligence service chief, which can start a single person with shift levers, which represents the consolation in the form of powerful relationships. Bandar was one of the wireholders in forming the Salafist resistance to the Syrian Prasident Bashar Al-Assad. That one of the Saudi princes, which now jerking closely to the power, is sometimes strongly committed to the cause of the more radical sunnitic currents, is not excluded.
With subsidies
Almost half, 46.9 percent, the 27.3 million inhabitants of the Konigreich are under 24 years old and they expect Ahmed Al-Omran to write that the state comes to the help of giving them a good job. The new kinge takes the rights that the old has passed passed on. Saudi Arabia hold the repeated protests, especially in the northwest of the country, thus in chess that the population is dominated with coarse subsidies. So far, one could rely on the oleasinoses, but with the prosperity of the burger also consumes one’s own consumption, the reindeer State game is not of eternal duration.
The fact that the low OL prize also attacks the Geldresserven Saudi Arabia is possible for the recruitment of the billions-heavy program for the expansion of solar energy, as it was recently announced. It is well possible that the decision was not challenged from the deceased, as it had been ill for quite some time, but by his successor, resp. his consultant.
This was then interpreted that the new lead is at a distance to a very much restricted anyway "Modernization process" under Abdullah. Apart from that, there is enough anestrace for the new throne successor to signal the Augenwelt in symbolic files, as its price will look like: this is the case of Badawi, the case of two women sitting behind bars because they are against the women’s trial have improved in Saudi Arabia.
Even these are only individual trap towards a Western Mabstabe horrible human rights situation, which at most call on the "reformer" Konig, who has died, is not mentioned. At the head of state, the diplomatically predetermined horses of the funeral protocol. Konely Abdullah was for most of the state politicians who met him personally, apparently a pleasant person with whom they could hold handchen. That his political balance is represented by repressive rule, only a few attentive, for example here or here.
