Just watched Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s interview with Fox. Some tough questions were posed in this Interview.
It’s interesting how MBS didn’t evade questions, acknowledged one of the great mistakes Saudi Arabia has made Jamal Khashoggi & pointed to some of the outdated laws in his country while sending the msg that he is a reformer and is trying his best to modernize those laws.
I wish more leaders of Middle Eastern countries were like him, accepting the responsibility for some horrible events happening during their time and clearly communicating to the world how they are preventing such terrible mistakes from happening in the future.
Yet, you must be naive to think that politics and its players’ interests are that superficial and straightforward.
Progress often speaks in rehearsed lines, but rehearsed lines can still signal a shift. Not all change begins with truth; sometimes it starts with the performance of it. And that, too, can open doors.
