?The homeland will not exist unless corruption is uprooted and the corrupt are held accountable,? the royal decree said.

Saudi King Arrests Multiple Princes And Boosts Crown Prince?s Influence

RIYADH (Reuters) - The Saudi government on Saturday announced the arrest of at least 10 members of the ruling royal family, four current ministers and tens of former ministers in what it called an effort to reign in corruption, and a cabinet reshuffle that removed the strongest potential rival to likely future king Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman.

Among the detained princes was Alwaleed bin Talal, one of the world?s richest men and a top investor in media giant NewsCorp, Twitter and other major companies, according to the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

The arrests were carried out by a new anti-corruption committee chaired by Prince Muhammad, according to state-owned Al Alarabiya TV.

The cabinet reshuffle saw Prince Miteb bin Abdullah replaced as minister of the National Guard by Khaled bin Ayyaf, while Economy Minister Adel Fakieh was removed in favor of his deputy Mohammed al-Tuwaijri, according to a royal decree carried by state-run media.

Prince Miteb, the preferred son of the late King Abdullah, was once thought to be a leading contender for the throne before the unexpected rise of Prince Mohammed two years ago.

He had inherited control of the National Guard, an elite internal security force built out of traditional tribal units, from his father, who ran it for five decades.

Prince Miteb was the last remaining member of Abdullah?s branch of the family to hold a position in the upper echelons of the Saudi power structure.

The move consolidates Crown Prince Mohammed?s control of the kingdom?s security institutions, which had long been headed by separate powerful branches of the ruling family.

The alleged targeting of Prince Alwaleed is especially striking because he is one of the most visible Saudi power players not directly under Prince Mohammed?s control. He has gained further attention in recent years because of his criticism of President Donald Trump, who?s built close ties with Prince Muhammad and hours before the announcements of the arrests unexpectedly tweeted about Saudi Arabia?s plan to publicly float part of its state-owned oil company for the first time.

Prince Mohammed, the king?s 32-year-old son, already serves as defense minister and was named heir to the throne in a June reshuffle that sidelined his older cousin, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef who had also served as interior minister.

He has been responsible at the same time for running Saudi Arabia?s war in Yemen, dictating an energy policy with global implications and behind the plans for the kingdom to build a future after oil.

Prince Mohammed, who has pledged to go after graft at the highest levels, will now also head up the new anti-corruption body, which was given broad powers to investigate cases, issue arrest warrants and travel restrictions, and freeze assets.

?The homeland will not exist unless corruption is uprooted and the corrupt are held accountable,? the royal decree said.

NEW ECONOMY MINISTER
The country?s new economy minister, Tuwaijri, is a former Saudi air force pilot and former chief executive of HSBC?s Middle East operations who has led the economy ministry?s program to privatize some $200 billion of government assets.

He replaces Fakieh, who served as the point man for the kingdom?s wide-ranging economic reforms since his appointment as economy and planning minister in 2015.

A former food executive with a reputation for pushing through politically sensitive reforms, Fakieh had previously served as labor minister, health minister and mayor of Jeddah.

Fakieh faced down fierce opposition from the business community as labor minister when he established quotas for foreign workers to boost jobs for Saudis.

Under Prince Mohammed, Fakieh led the development of a national transformation plan and privatization drive launched last year to end the kingdom?s vulnerability to an unpredictable oil market. His replacement comes as the kingdom makes adjustments to that plan, a process dubbed NTP 2.0.

The royal decree did not say whether Fakieh would hold any other government position. Former ministers often serve in advisory roles after leaving their posts.

Sounds like possibly a power consolidation in the face of a possible coup (putsch) to me.

Saudi Arabia has plans for a liberal megacity 22 times the size of New York where women jog in CROP TOPS

The country's visionary Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wants the £373 billion futuristic city to be Saudi Arabia?s next economic powerhouse

The project, dubbed NEOM, is part of the young prince?s vision of social and economic changes that he wants to put in place to create a more progressive future for Saudi Arabia.

In a promotional video for the NEOM project, women can be seen jogging in crop tops and working side by side with male colleagues - a far cry from the Saudi Arabia where, up until last month, women weren?t even allowed to drive a car.

NEOM is a business and industrial zone extending to neighbouring Jordan and Egypt, and spanning 10,231sq miles ? making it 33 times bigger than New York City.

The proposed megacity will be financed by the Saudi government and private investors, and powered entirely by wind and solar energy. It will focus on the food, entertainment, energy and water, biotechnology and advanced manufacturing industries.

The NEOM zone would serve as another revenue stream for Saudi Arabia, the world?s top oil exporter, which has struggled with slumping oil prices since 2014.

Announcing the project at a major investment conference in the capital Riyadh, Prince Mohammed said NEOM would be an example of the hi-tech future he envisioned for his notoriously conservative country.

He held up two mobile phones ? one, a modern smartphone and the other, a decade-old device ? to illustrate the difference between futuristic NEOM and anything else.

He said: ?This project is not a place for any conventional investor, this is a place for dreamers who want to do something in the world.

?The strong political will and the desire of a nation. All the success factors are there to create something big in Saudi Arabia.?

The NEOM zone will sit adjacent to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and close to the maritime trade routes that use the Suez Canal.

Saudi Arabia?s Public Investment Fund, which will partially fund the project, said NEOM would be a gateway to the proposed King Salman Bridge that will link Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

The megacity is Prince Mohammed?s boldest move yet in his mission to rapidly modernise Saudi Arabia, which has long been ruled by strict religious law and under the influence of hard line religious clerics.

He has a plan for social and economic reforms under what he calls Vision 2030, including the NEOM project. Allowing women to drive was another major reform under Vision 2030 and Saudi Arabia may soon bring back cinemas.

Prince Mohammed, who was appointed crown prince in June by his father, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, is relatively popular among his fellow Saudi millennials, and he knows they are crucial in his vision for his country?s future, in which he also wants to see a more moderate observation of Islam.

This new liberal city is to accommodate the eventual return of "europeanized" muzzies. They can feed off of Europe for only so long before they are rejected.

They will create the liberal city and after tourists start pouring in and westerners immigrate locals will use the city as a terrorist training ground beheading joggers, running over bicyclers, etc.
