A video of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s address to the tribes after the uproar of Al-Suwayyan’s statements circulated

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – The statements of the Saudi researcher, Saad Al-Suwayan, regarding the tribes in the Kingdom and that “their role is over” continue to provoke a wide interaction among activists on social media.

Dr. Saad Al-Suwayan: I wish the decision makers to launch a movement or program to encourage intermarriage and intermarriage between “tribe and non-tribe, Bedouin, urban, Shiite and Sunni” in order to integrate society.

Al-Suwayyan’s statements came during an interview on the Gulf Rotana channel, on Monday, where he said: “I believe that the tribe’s role as a supporter of the state’s existence has ended, and I believe that Vision 2030 has distorted the trend towards economic and social achievements and so on. ..”

The words of His Highness the Crown Prince, may God preserve him, regarding the tribes in the #Kingdom and their dignity is a message to everyone who is tempted to harm all tribes without exception, and the respect they receive from the rational leadership, may God protect them. . https://t.co/YrTBKFKoxC https://t.co/dTsxbsKHSd

He continued, “If I were close to the decision-makers, I would have suggested to them a proposal, that they make a movement that encourages intermarriage between tribal and non-tribal, and between Bedouin and urban, Shiite and Sunni. We must try in a smart and programmed way (in order to integrate society).”

Activists, including the tweeter Mishaal Al-Zahid, circulated a video clip of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s speech regarding the tribes and his appreciation for them in response to Al-Suwayan’s statements.
