    Default Saudi king alters line of succession to favour new generation of princes

    Saudi reshuffle means new generation of princes next in line for throne for first time since kingdom's founder died in 1953

    Saudi Arabia's King Salman has removed his half-brother from the post of crown prince, replacing him with his nephew in a significant repositioning of power among the kingdom's royal family.

    He also elevated his son to the position of deputy crown prince in a reshuffle announced less than four months after he assumed the throne in January.

    Announced in a decree from the royal court, the appointments put a new generation of Saudi princes immediately next in the line of succession, and mapped out the future of the throne for potentially decades to come.

    The post of crown prince secures Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, 55, as the most likely successor to the king. The prince, who is also the interior minister, is widely known internationally as Saudi Arabia's counterterrorism tsar and was previously also deputy crown prince.

    The prince becomes the first from among his generation to be elevated to such a high position – first in line to the throne. He has survived several assassination attempts, including one in 2009 by al-Qaida. He takes over the post of crown prince from Prince Muqrin.

    Expect some internal squabbling to come out of this.

    Hopefully things will change in the future and will let the powers to be in the West jettison themselves from supporting these third world oppressive tribalist assholes.
