Noted in “‘Riyadhology’ and Muhammad bin Salman’s Telltale Succession,” Chibli Mallat, Lawfare:
Put all this together and the information shows a large substratum of dissent in Saudi Arabia and a sizable group of significant Saudi personalities living in exile. The history of dissent in Saudi Arabia is getting better known. The opposition is large but remains fissiparous and disorganized.
