Observers concur that the Saudi regime resembles a spider's web, apprehensive of any opposition and employing its full authority to manipulate information, in order to conceal the realities of its widespread oppression.
With the rise of each new Saudi reformist in Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, who has emerged as the most formidable adversary of the nation and its people, leverages all his media, propaganda, and cyber resources to tarnish the reputation of the reformists.
The most recent instance of this nature involves Lieutenant Salem bin Nasser al-Qahtani, who, in his speech, referenced passages from the Quran and highlighted his life achievements, such as enrolling in and graduating from military college, and beginning his service within the Al Saud system. He underscores that it is solely due to corruption and his commitment to combat corruption and advocate for reforms that have prompted him to protest in this manner, demanding reforms in the country and fighting against corruption.
Upon the publication of Lt. Qathani's statements, Bin Salman's online supporters swiftly launched a vigorous attack against him, leveling various accusations, such as mental illness, fleeing from home, and treason.
The staggering volume of over 25 million tweets, 14 thousand likes, and 8 thousand replies within a mere 24-hour period, with these numbers steadily rising, exemplifies the cyber campaign orchestrated by Mohammad Bin Salman against Lieutenant Qahtani.
These figures indeed highlight the significant and profound crisis that Muhammad bin Salman is currently grappling with. They also underscore the fear and apprehension of the Saudi Crown Prince, who appears deeply unsettled by the mere speech of a single dissenter, prompting a deluge of tweets against him. The question arises: why should the Saudi crown prince be so fearful of an individual's speech, protest, and call for reforms?
Isn't it true that the presence of dissent and protest is a natural occurrence in any society? So, why does Muhammad bin Salman, instead of fostering dialogue and negotiation with the opposition, opt to deploy his army of online supporters to level countless accusations, including treason, against dissenters?
Opponents of Saudi Arabia argue that Mohammed bin Salman's concept of reforms is limited to granting freedoms in the entertainment sector and religious matters. They assert that establishing the political foundations for a free Saudi Arabia that safeguards the rights of its people is not a priority for the King and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Crown Prince does not address the lengthy and severe sentences imposed on numerous individuals detained for exercising their freedom of speech. Despite some prisoners having served several years in prison, they remain incarcerated, while others face the threat of the death penalty.
According to critics, Saudi Arabia is viewed as an exceptional case among Arab and Islamic nations, being perceived as diverging from humanitarian and Islamic principles. There are allegations of significant deceit and manipulation within the country. The prevailing sentiment is that in Saudi Arabia, the focus is solely on the king and crown prince, with little regard for the citizens. Critics argue that individuals in the Arabian Peninsula are marginalized in various aspects of life.
Critics highlight that the Al Saud government is built upon three main pillars. The first pillar suggests that the government primarily serves the interests of the Al Saud family. The second pillar is rooted in Wahhabism, while the third pillar is characterized by the influence of Najdi culture. Critics argue that the Saudi government systematically suppresses individual, religious, and sectarian freedoms, exerting power to quash any dissent.
These factors have contributed to a growing number of critics of the Saudi regime, particularly among religious figures, intellectuals, and military personnel. This trend reflects a rising animosity towards Muhammad bin Salman and his policies.
