Renzi Gives International Recognition to the Saudis for Petty Cash and the Limelight

Not only did Matteo Renzi fail to question MBS about his role in the brutal murder of Jamal Kashoggi and the violation of civil and human rights in his country, but Renzi declared that, "Saudi (Arabia) could be the place of a new Renaissance for the future". The former Prime Minister and Mayor of Florence has come under attack for providing an assist to the Saudis with an embarrassing display of subservience. Renzi is on the FII's board of trustees, for which he receives an annual salary of $80,000. In exchange, he has provided the Saudis with international legitimation and implicit friendship with Italy.

Khashoggi’s Murder, Jamal’s Fiancée Hatice Cengiz Calls for Justice

The world is only aware of Jamal Khashoggi’s public face, especially his journalistic work and his criticism against the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and King Salman. It is no coincidence that in September 2017, Mr. Khashoggi decided to flee his country and go into a self-imposed exile.

US and UK arms sales continue unabated; the Trump administration bypassed Congress to authorize an additional $8 billion in sales earlier this year.

Trump’s War on “Fake News”: The Ripple Effect on Journalists Around the World

From America to around the world, the U.S. led-attack on free press has made life dangerous for all journalists. On October 2 Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi columnist for The Washington Post and a U.S. resident, entered Saudi Arabia's Consulate in Istanbul but has not been seen since. Turkish officials say they believe Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi Consulate. This would serve as another example of the extent of the repercussions journalists might face for simply voicing their concern towards a regime.

Che accadrà ancora con bin Salman, l’erede al trono saudita “uscito di testa”?

Per gli amici è “MBS”, un po’ come “JFK”, almeno secondo i suoi pubblicisti. Più giovane ministro della Difesa al mondo a 29 anni, ha portato il suo Paese a combattere la guerra disastrosa nello Yemen. Da allora, si è scontrato con il resto della Famiglia Reale, con il Clero e le Forze Armate, nonché con l’Iran, la Turchia, il Libano, la Giordania, il Qatar, l’Iraq e pure - si dice - con la CIA
