INCONSEQUENTIAL BEGINNINGS
Born in 1933, Naef bin Abdul Aziz has been interior minister since 1975.
He has first approval of candidates for the central and regional Shura
councils; local council members are also accountable to him, as well emirs
in the provincial system established in 1993.
Prince Naef bin Abdul Aziz is the sixth son of Hassa al-Sudeiri, King
Abdul Aziz favorite wife, and his 26th son overall. His early life as a
child was lived in the shadows of elder brothers who had more personality
and more attention from their peers. This scared him for life and was
nicknamed "Khaef" which translates in Arabic to
"Scared" and rhymes with "Naef". This nickname is
still carried as a baggage for this ruthless Minister of Interior.
Naef ascended to high this high position in the Saudi government only
because he was a Sudeiri, his ascension had nothing to do with competency
or capabilities. In fact, most of his life he spent it in the shadows of
his brothers which turned him into a virtual monster. This monstrosity has
manifested itself very well in his job (See Shocking Inaction) in the form
of tools of torture and human rights abuses. Having had to compete with
Sultan and Fahd for attention has greatly affected him mentally and turned
the man into a modern day Heckyll and Jeckyll..
Naef went through his training as Minister of Interior by working closely
with Fahd when he was Minister of Interior. During that period of time,
Saudi Arabia's turmoil stemmed from tribal feuds and border crossings by
their neighbors to the South and East. The international pressure has not
been built yet nor was Saudi Arabia synonymous with wealth and
extraordinary oil reserves except with those who were associated with the
oil industry. With no international pressure and presence, Naef handled
simple matters with simple results mostly resolved by paying off tribal
leaders to keep them in line. With Fahd as mentor, Naef did not take him
long to become as corrupt and to use the weapon of money as a power tool.
QUICK TO EXECUTE
Former U. S. diplomats describe interior minister, Naef bin Abdul Aziz as
the most feared official in the Saudi Arabian government. They describe
his police agency as one of the world's most ruthless. He is in charge of
keeping and controlling access to the government's most intimate secrets.
His relations with U. S. officials have been described as "less than
cordial." U. S. terrorism experts have found him and his agency less
than cooperative in helping to solve who is responsible for the bombing of
the U.S. base in Dahran.
"Intelligence cooperation with the Saudis is virtually nil," an
intelligence source told syndicated columnist Jack Anderson. "The FBI
may fly over there, but the information they get is diddly. The Saudis
smile, tell some non-public details to them and assure them that they'll
solve the case. But a month has gone by with no real progress." (The
State Journal-Register - Springfield, IL, July 31, 1996).
U. S. officials were dismayed at the swift execution of the Saudi Arabians
who were supposedly behind the November bombing in Riyadh because they did
not get a chance to question the accused to see if they could find out if
others were involved and who financed and organized the bombing. If the
November and June bombings are linked, knowing this information may have
prevented or delayed the June bombing in Dhahran.
HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
Prince Naef and his ministry have been repeatedly accused of brutality and
torture by myriad international human rights groups. According the Amnesty
International's 1996 report on human rights in countries around the world,
"Scores of political suspects, including possible prisoners of
conscience, were detained in Saudi Arabia, and up to 200 others arrested
the previous year remained held without trial and without access to
lawyers." The report goes on to accuse Naef and company of extracting
confessions by torture, abuse of political prisoners, unfair trials and
arbitrary justice. (The Dallas Morning News, July 4, 1996).
What is at issue for human rights groups is not so much the rising rate of
executions, even though many deplore capital punishment in any form, but
the absence of basic rights for defendants. As Amnesty International's
1993 report puts it: "While Amnesty International recognizes that
governments are entitled to bring to justice those responsible for
recognizably criminal acts, including murder, drug-trafficking and rape,
it maintains that those charged must receive a fair trial in accordance
with basic international standards and should be punished if found guilty.
(COMPASS Newswire, August 13, 1995).
Prince Naef's response to his critics: "We shall not be affected by
any talk about human rights; it will not dissuade us from applying God's
law." (BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, April 26, 1996). In an
earlier response about his reaction to accusations about human rights
violations, he stated, "I am more surprised that they write and talk
about trivial things." (BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, May 17,
1993).
There is reason to believe that the Saudis are executing as
drug-traffickers those who are really political prisoners and executing as
political prisoners those who died under torture. Naef claims that the
rise in execution is due to a more effective anti-drug campaign. If that
is true, then it shows how disaffected with their plight Saudi citizens
have become. For no drug smuggler or dealer would risk death unless a
large market for narcotics promised lucrative rewards.
In 1995, Naef and his office was accused of killing political activist, Abdullah
Abdel Rahman al-Hadhif, while trying to torture a confession out
of him. They then allegedly tried to cover it up by accusing him of trying
to kill a police officer.
Prince Naef seems to be operating on the premise that by squelching
internal opposition other problems in the kingdom will go unnoticed. One
Western official said, " the executions are an indication of the
siege mentality currently afflicting the Saudi royal family." (Sunday
Telegraph, April 30, 1995). But the citizens know that the government is
not addressing the basic problems of Saudi Arabia, including rising
unemployment, a population explosion that will only continue because 75
per cent of the people are under 30, and rampant corruption, especially
within the royal family. As Minister of the Interior, it is Prince Naef's
job to address these concerns, even if it means arresting members of his
family, or stepping down because of his own corrupt practices, if any.
In reply to a question about charges against the royal family of
corruption, decadence, and abuse of power, Naef responded, "These
shortcomings and mistakes can happen in any society. We are trying to
solve our mistakes. I would say that nobody is one hundred percent
perfect." He is not so tolerant of the shortcomings of those outside
his family.
Naef's abuse is not limited to political prisoners. In 1995, an Egyptian
doctor, spent several months in jail and was convicted of defaming a Saudi
school principal because that principal sexually abused his underage young
daughter. His punishment: 80 lashes in a public square. His daughter gets
abused sexually and when he complains, he get public scolding. This is the
new Saudi Arabia in the image of those who run it, the Sudeiri Seven. Also
in that same year, Abdul al-Aziz Muhammad Isse, from Somalia, was
scheduled to be beheaded for murders that happened before he arrived in
Saudi Arabia.
To protect their line to the throne, Prince Naef and his brother, Sultan
bin Abdul Aziz, have striven to block their half-brother, Crown Prince
Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, who is next in line to the throne. When King Fahd
handed power over to Abdullah after the king's stroke, the crown prince
tried to pay farmers part of the $2.8 billion dollars in subsidies that
the government owed them. Naef and defense minister Sultan were outraged
and persuaded the king to resume power in February, even though the king
has lost much of his short-term memory, and forgets where he is and what
he is doing.
THE LONG ARM OF THE PRINCE
The reach of Prince Naef, Saudi Arabia's interior minister, extends beyond
the borders of Saudi Arabia. He directly controls the Sunni association
"al-Dawa" in Lebanon. Given his position as head of the Ministry
of the Interior, it is highly likely that he was involved in the following
abductions:
Saud al-Muammar, a Saudi military attaché in India, was lured to Jordan.
There, he was forced into Saudi Arabia where the government tortured him
to death.
In 1979, the Saudi government paid the PLO $2 million to kidnap
the Saudi poet, Nasser El Said. No one has heard from him
since.Nasser wrote a book about al-Saud.
In 1985, Muhammad Mirri, publisher of al-Nashua
magazine was assassinated in Athens at the behest of the Saudi government.
Five years ago, Saudi citizen, Sheikh Muhammad al-Fassi
was abducted from Jordan.... and the list goes on with no international
outcry.
BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN, THERE IS A GREATER WOMAN
Prince Naef is married to Maha al-Sudeiri, a distant cousin whose ventures
and adventures have echoed around the world. First it started last
September at the Swan Hotel in Walt Disney in Orlando, Florida when she
beat with her bare hands a maid servant she accused of stealing $200,000
worth of jewelry.
When the police interfered, she tried to bribe one of the
policeman. The police report did not mention the last incident after the
Saudi Embassy in Washington dispatched an army of diplomats to control the
situation. Maha apparently also beat the maid who was dating him just
because she was dating him.
In April of 1996, Maha Sudeiri called the reservation system at the
Marriott Hotel in Riyadh where she asked to reserve immediately seven
villas for her guests. The reservation manager confirmed two reservations
and told her politely that the other villas were occupied with guests at
the present time.
Screaming and threatening on the phone, she demanded all seven
villas.The manager stumbled and fumbled but refused to throw his guests
out. Half an hour after she hang up the phone, she showed up at the hotel
demanding the reservation manager. When he presented himself, she asked to
see one of the villas. Upon arrival at the villa, she asked her security
people to lock him there. The poor man was left locked for 3 days and had
not been of the interference of the Marriott operations, he would have
stayed much longer.
Another incident recently found her in a disco in Geneva - Switzerland
wearing a Mexican sombrero and dancing in a vulgar way alone and in front
of the public. Complaints by other family members poured in to Naef. Even
Fahd sent a videotape of Maha Sudeiri dancing to Naef as a sign of
displeasure.
OTHER VENTURES
Like other members of the royal family, Naef is not only a government
leader, but a business man as well.
Prince Naef is not all ruthless work. Every year he and other members of
the royal family go to Pakistan to hunt the houbara bustard, a bird in
danger of extinction. Naef and other members of the royal family get
special permits for the privilege of killing this rare animal. To
accommodate their stay in Quetta, Pakistan, the princes have paid to have
a special airport built for their use and spent Saudi money for the
development of the land surrounding the hunting area, so that all of their
needs would be met during their excursion.
The prince also finds time to conduct business. He is a share holder of
the National Commercial Bank in Jeddah whose New York and London branches
were closed in the aftermath of the BCCI scandal in 1992. In 1993, the
bank was audited for the first time. Technically insolvent, National
Commercial Bank had loaned between $3 and $7 billion to members of the
royal family who have neither repaid the loans or the interest. The bank
had only set aside up to $250 million for bad loans. European banks
refused to extend any newness of credit to the institution. Those who have
loaned from the bank are the same princes we decry in this site as corrupt
and unworthy of ruling.
Prince Naef is a typical Sudeiri with all the arrogance, abuse,
corruptness, and disgust that comes with the title. We predict at CACSA
that once King Fahd dies, Prince Abdullah and his adviser Sheikh Abdul
Aziz al-Tuweijiri who enjoys much respect in the US Administration will be
given a chance to govern without the parasites of the likes of Naef,
Sultan and Bandar. If this can happen, then maybe there is still light at
the end of the tunnel for Saudi Arabia.
