    The name is different; I don't believe that it's the same Prince.
    No this Khalid is "Farhan".. and younger I think.

    Thought so. Yeah, it is hard to find anything about him other than "dissident" and "living in Germany."

    Exactly... that's all I can find.. except that this prince's father was put under house arrest. I would hate to see KSA descend into chaos.

    Yeah, same here. Plus there are so many Saudi princes it's hard to keep them all straight.

    The most important princes are the offspring of the Sudeiri Seven... with names like Turki, Salman, Sultan.. I don't think Farhan is important.

    Their names confuse me too sometimes.

    DUSSELDORF, Germany - A dissident Saudi prince has called on his uncles to depose King Salman and take over the country.

    Prince Khaled bin Farhan made the appeal to Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz and Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz, saying that the damage being done to the Saudi royal family and the kingdom by Salman’s “erratic, stupid and whimsical” rule had gone beyond the point of no-return.
    I'm inclined to agree.
    What are the chances of a successful coup, kudzu- slightly less than zero ?

    Is Khaled bin Farhan now a U.S. assassination target ?

    I think Khalid bin Farham is full of chit.. Most likely a wealthy do-nothing who is envious of MBS.. Saudi Arabia is making wonderful progress.. They can't afford the sort of crap you seen in Syria and Libya.

    He's making claims that KSA is doing whatever Israel and the US ask.. Haven't you heard that BS before.
