Dark side: The military was allowed to kill and destroy for the sake of the future mirror city

Former Rabih Alensi Intelligence Officer was forced to flee from his native country after he made a candid confession of the order against the tribe of Kuwait, which hindered grand construction. The protect of the metropolis in Saudi Arabia, called The Line, got to the headlines of newspapers after the man was shot dead, probably because the village house in which he lived was on the way of builders. About it writes Daily Star. The grand construction was called "revolution in urban life".

He was approved by the Secret Prince of Saudi Arabia Muhammad Bin Salman. The futuristic plan, which cost the country of £ 398 billion, provides for the settlement of approximately nine million people in the 110 miles (177 km). The ambitious project of Neom, as warned by third -party experts, can cost £ 796 billion. However, even in this case, it has remained several decades before its completion.

The publication notes that it has recently found that the Saudi Arabia government allegedly ordered the use of "deadly power" to clear the land and continue construction. The statement comes from Colonel Rabih Alensi, who told the BBC that he was among those who were ordered to evict the locals. According to him, the order, devoted to April 2020, was given the tribe of the tribe, which is predominantly consisting of "rebels".

"We were told that the one who continues to resist the eviction should be killed, so it licensed the use of deadly force against those who remained in their home," he said. The former intelligence officer said he had evaded the mission because of fictional health problems, but it still happened. Killed was named Abdul Rakhim Al-Huvayti, who refused to allow the local committee from land cadastres to evaluate his house.

He was shot dead after a day, and a few weeks before he protested against eviction on social networks. "Neoma is the central part of Mohammed Bin Salman. That is why he was so cruelly straightened. He will not allow anything to interfere with construction . . . I began to worry anymore that I can be asked to do with my own people," - - - - Former Officer Alenzi, who fled the country, said.

The project faces many other problems, including finding a place to accommodate 100,000 builders in the desert, two hours away from any big city. At the time of publication in the media, there was no official response from Saudi Arabia to accuse the use of force to continue construction. Earlier, Focus reported that the favorite place of tourists has turned into a ghost city. The desert is a settlement whose inhabitants have been suffering from constant dust and dry lake.
