The US has determined that Saudi Arabia's de facto leader - Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - has immunity from a lawsuit filed by murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi's fiancée.

Mr Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi critic, was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018.

US intelligence has said it believes Prince Mohammed ordered the killing.

But in court filings, the US State department said he has immunity due to his new role as Saudi prime minister.

Mr Khashoggi's ex-fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, wrote on Twitter that "Jamal died again today" with the ruling.

She - along with the human rights group Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn), founded by Mr Khashoggi - had been seeking unspecified damages in the US from the crown prince for her fiancée's murder.

The complaint accused the Saudi leader and his officials of having "kidnapped, bound, drugged and tortured, and assassinated US-resident journalist and democracy advocate Jamal Khashoggi".

Prince Mohammed was named crown prince by his father, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, in 2017. The 37-year-old was then handed the role of prime minister in September this year.

He denies any role in the killing of Mr Khashoggi.

Justice Department lawyers said that as "the sitting head of a foreign government," the crown prince "enjoys head of state immunity from the jurisdiction of US courts as a result of that office."

"The doctrine of head of state immunity is well established in customary international law," Justice Department lawyers said.

But the Biden administration was keen to emphasise that the ruling was not a determination of innocence.

"This is a legal determination made by the State Department under longstanding and well-established principles of customary international law," a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said in a written statement.

"It has nothing to do with the merits of the case."


Saudi Arabia said the former Washington Post journalist had been killed in a "rogue operation" by a team of agents sent to persuade him to return to the kingdom.

However, US officials said the CIA had concluded, "with a medium to high degree of certainty", that MBS - as the prince is known - was complicit.

The murder caused a global uproar and damaged the image of Prince Mohammed and his country.

It also led to a major downturn in US-Saudi relations, with Mr Biden vowing to make Saudi Arabia a "pariah" while he was campaigning for the presidency in 2019.

Mr Biden declined to talk to Mohammed bin Salman when he first became president.

But over the summer, President Biden said he wanted to "reorient" relations, ahead of a visit to Saudi Arabia in July.

His visit - in which he was pictured fist-bumping the crown prince - was criticised as validating the Saudi government following Mr Khashoggi's murder.

Sarah Leah Whitson, a spokeswoman for Dawn, wrote on Twitter that it was "beyond ironic that President Biden has single-handedly assured MBS can escape accountability when it was President Biden who promised the American people he would do everything to hold him accountable".

Amnesty's Agnes Callamard wrote on Twitter.: This is a deep betrayal. Another one. First disregarded by Pres. Trump. Then Pres. Biden's fist bump...At all points, they had other choices,"

And Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the Biden administration had "sold Jamal Kashoggi's blood for Saudi oil".

"Oboli, who copied 27 directors in the memo, said Eimunjeze’s appointment took effect from November 12." How can NAFDAC has 27 directors? It may interest Nigerians to know that the bureaucrats are the major consumere of our foreign earnings. Infact, they consume more than half of our budget. Corruption is resident in the bureaucracy. May God help us in this country.

Rubbish
All dumped and stacked Naira notes will be moved into banking sector.
All politicians that stacked money in their house will move it quickly to the Banks with the help of Bank managers

The aim is to make people move the money they stock in their safety tanks, pit toilets, warehouses and farms etc to the banking system.

God is too much. People are looking for children and God gave this one and she decided to kill the baby that was given to her.

When we say the judiciary is the major impendiment to our democracy, people call us names. The PDP is not a direct beneficiary of the outcome of the primaries and they are not supposed to take labour party to court. The judge ought to have struck out the case. The plantiff in this case supposed to be other aspirants who contested the primary election and not PDP. A person that did not contest primary election has no right to sue the party if they're irregularities in the election.

British time has moved 1 hour backward today. They are now on GMT.

Nigeria, we hail thee! We always do the opposite things. When other countries are cutting costs including salaries of their political office holders as a result of economic quanmire, Nigeria is in the bill of increasing salaries of political office holders. What a country!

These politicians move ahead of law enforcement agencies and monetary authorities. Don't you think that they will start converting the current bills of N200, N500 and N1000 to dollars and stock dollars in their houses and use for next year election?

Let judgement be given accordingly.
When I saw her doing beauty contest in prison, it shocked me that nothing can't happen in Nigeria.
If prisoners are doing contest, people on murder cases shouldn't be added

In the eye of the law, she is not guilty untill proven otherwise. She has freedom just like you. The only freedom restricted is that of movement.

I bet this rally was for Fr Alia, the APC governorship candidate in the state. Benue people will never vote for Muslim-Muslim ticket.

TheLordofHost:
She has been staying with me since the beginning of ASUU strike, almost 6 months now and we have been having sex without protection. I don’t even pull out.

I don’t think she is on birth control. I love this girl but I think she is infertile.

Is this normal with some women? Because I don’t want to take the relationship serious anymore .

MODIFIED: To those down there accusing me of being impotent. I AM NOT.
If you check my previous posts you’d see I have a child already. 2 other girls have gotten pregnant for me but ended up aborting .

I would not be posting this if I didn’t love this girl and plan to marry her later on.

You are a wicked person. Is how your mother gave birth to you without proper marriage? You didn't marry this lady and you want to get her pregnant. I pety the lady because she submit herself cheaply to you. Repent and stop fornicating.

I got married in 2021. Ever since day one



What can she do house? How can she make her husband show more interest in sex?

Relate these statements; I got married in 2021..........
What can she do house? This is a fiction.

The situation is Nigeria has become hopeless and our hope is in God. The USA has just taken out one of the most wanted terrorist in the world, Ayman al-Zawahiri. This is what president Joe Biden said, "No matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out,". In Nigeria, terrorists are being pampered and given VIP treatment. May God help us.

I guess you are a Christian. The bible says if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? Ps 11:3. You built your marriage on a faulty foundation. You married two months ago, but with 7 months pregnancy. It's abomination to the christiandom. Go back to Jesus, he will show you a way out.

APC as a political party is behaving as if it doesn't have a legal adviser. Election was conducted and Ayade came 3rd. If the first person that win the election resigns, the person that came 2nd supposed to be the flagbearer of the party. There's no need to conduct a fresh election.

I used to respect this man as a good activitist, but he has sold himself because of a morsel of bread.

Hey guys, it's our first time ever outta Naija. Currently at Heathrow Airport waiting for connecting flight to Manchester which is our final destination.

Update: It was almost 9:30pm when we left Manchester Airport but it was like 5pm in Nigeria. Everywhere was still day. I though my wrist watch was incorrect until I check the dash board clock of the taxi

Oga, both UK and Nigeria are on +1GMT. There's no way it will be 9:30 pm in Manchester and it will be 5:00pm in Nigeria. You are carried away of the euphoria of being in Queen' a land.

I don't know why people would want to shoot themselves on their feet. The law says minimum educational qualification is school certificate or it's equavelents. You can only present your wassce even if you have ND, HND, Bsc, Pgde, Masters or PhD.

Here, we go again. We just finished talking about Dubai incident and this one is happening again. All these things happen, because people are not made to pay for them
This is pure act of negligence on the parts of the school mgt and hotel mgt. Let someone pay for this act of negligence to serve as a deterrence to others.

People died at Dei-dei market, our president can not go there to commiserate with those people. The president has to go to UAE to console with the people of that country. When there was racist shooting in Buffalo, NY, president Biden was on ground to condole the people and to also get first hand information. This is the reason why BAT can never be president of Nigeria for packaging Buhari for Nigerians. The blood in land is crying against those people that supported this man in 2015.

See your previous thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6852898/girlfriend-gives-me-money-foodstuff#107673950

We warn you on that day, but it falls on death ear. You will go to her and buys something for N500, she will give you change of N2000. You were enjoying by then. Don't run away from the police, go and report yourself to the police and carry your cross.

Are you in 300L in unilag?

Go and marry the dead body of the woman as demanded by her family. This is something you supposed to have done with ease, but you refused to do. You are now giving reason of economic hardship. If someone marries your sister without doing the traditional rites, would you be happy? I support the family of late lady. A lesson to other men who are doing this rubbish.

Our constitution is very simple and any person can read and understand. The constitution says any person that has been elected to the office of the president two times is ineligible to seek re-election. Jonathan was elected to the office of president of Nigeria only once (2011). He is eligible to seek election in 2023.

May God forgive me for supporting this Buhari in 2015.

The running around aspirant. This one if he becomes president, he will just be running around the country.

When they say avoid premarital sex, una no go hear. Now you catch gonorrhoea. Carry your wahala and go. The wages for sin. Sun is sweet, the repercussion is bitter.

Judas never helped Jesus to fulfill His purpose on earth. There's nobody that can help God achieve His purpose on earth, rather it is God that will help you to achieve His purpose on earth. God killed Uzzah because he was trying to help Him, 2 Sam 6:6-7. The Jews were
always coming for Jesus, but His time had not reached and each time they come, He will escape. The arrest of Jesus by the Jews through the betrayal of judas coincided with the time Jesus was to die for our sins. So, if Judas had not betrayed Him, God would have made it possible for the Jews to arrest Jesus and charge Him before Pilate and others and be committed to sentence through hanging. Judas committed the greatest sin.

I believe there is no sacrifice that is too much for peace. The Americans, British and Israelites negotiate with terrorists and gave in to their demands. Some years ago, Israel released 1000 Hamas nationals in Israeli prisons for just one Israeli soldier. The government supposed to call IPOB and negotiate with them for peace to resign in South East. The military approach of Gov Charles Soludu is not good and will definitely lead to more blood shed. The situation in the north is different. The bandits are not Nigerians and why are they kidnapping and killing us? The government supposed to use the military against these bandits and dialogue with IPOB. However, the reverse is the case. May God help us in this country.

There is only one Man that will help you if you can come to Him with open heart. He is Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. Look out for a Bible believing church and start worshipping with them. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour and begin to walk with Him in sincerity and He change your life. All those people avoiding you will come back and ask you for forgiveness. Happy cheers!

The only solution to this crises is to dialogue with IPOB. And what is the solution here: release Nnamdi Kanu. There is no sacrifice that is to much for peace. I remember some years back, Israel has to exchange 1000 Hamas prisoners for an Israeli soldier that was detained by Hamas.
