    MbS seduced the West with implicit promises of big money projects and lucrative contracts, very few of which have actually materialized. He promised Pres. Trump $110 billion dollars in arms sales, yet the Saudis have not concluded one single major arms deal. Remember Aramco IPO?

    Doing research in the Middle East is becoming dangerous. If this does not change, institutions and individuals will be increasingly cautious with fieldwork and this will impoverish our capacity to understand, explain and foresee.

    After CNN, FT, New York Times and LA Times owner all pull out, will be interesting to see what Bloomberg do -- especially given their $90 million 10-year joint venture with the Saudi Research and Marketing Group, an entity closely associated with the family of King Salman.

    Arab media coverage of Khashoggi's apparent murder has really exposed the partisan leanings and unprofessionalism of many outlets. Sky News Arabia, al-Arabiya, local Saudi & Emirati channels all spreading ridiculous conspiracy theories.

    Lebanese paper publishes claim on front page saying Khashoggi’s fiancée is a disguised Muslim Brother. Also, an image of Khashoggi leaving the consulate which is clearly just a doctoring of the image showing him entering. …

    Ce qu'Emmanuel Macron disait récemment de MBS à un groupe d'ONG réunies à l'Elysée: "je ne fais pas partie du choeur des convertis à MBS, je ne vais pas l'encenser, mais je ne vais pas le plomber". Dans Le Figaro.

    Enfin, E. Macron sait très bien tout ce que la France, ses dirigeants ou ses comptes doivent en aides financières apportées par l'Arabie, les EAU et le Qatar, depuis plus de 30 ans, dans l'Hexagone ou en Afrique. C'est là aussi où nous sommes demandeurs.

    Macron a probablement un peu moins raison qd il dit : "je n'ai jamais installé la diplomatie en fonction de critères commerciaux". Même si sa mise au point vise surtout la "diplomatie éco" de Hollande et de Fabius, infructueuse, et qui a conduit Paris à avaler bcp de couleuvres.

    Macron dit aussi avec justesse: "maintenant il faut être clair, nous avons avec l'Arabie et les Emirats un partenariat de confiance dans la région qui n'est pas commercial mais stratégique". Sous entendu nous luttons ensemble contre l'influence iranienne au Moyen-Orient.
