Saudi Prince's Allies Retain Jobs in Post-Khashoggi Shake-Up - Bloomberg:
Saudi Arabia kept key supporters of Mohammed Bin Salman in their cabinet jobs and brought in some new ones, in the first major government shake-up since the kingdom and its crown prince became the focus of an outcry over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.
The ministers of finance, energy, economy and trade -- senior members of the crown prince’s team -- retained their positions in an overhaul announced on Thursday, when a series of royal decrees issued by King Salman were read out on national television.
The king also promoted several young royals, many of whom have worked with the 33-year-old heir to the throne. Prince Abdullah bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz was appointed to head the powerful National Guard, while other princes were named as provincial rulers.
