Saudi Arabian King, Abdullah Is Dead At 90 Years Of Age #WorldRoyalties

Saudi King, Abdullah dies at 90

I just want to bring to your notice now that the great Saudi Arabian King, Abdullah has died. This wealthy and famous king of the oil-rich-nation of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah was reported to have been sick for quite a long time following some surgeries at his back, which then kept him on a low, as he could not be able to perform his rightful duties as the king because his health was failing him by the day until his eventual death at a ripe age of 90.


But before his death, Salman, 79 is Abdullah's half-brother, and he was the one who took over the mantle of leadership from him, to perform his kingship rights, because of his ailing health, and at this time of his death, it may be that he will assume the full authority of the Royalty for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

From all perspective like I gathered, King Abdullah was a man that maintained great reputation, integrity, discipline and hard work throughout his period of reign, and that King Salman has so far taken after his brother in the path of keeping up with these rare virtues in such a wealthy, famous and exalted position.

It was stated that King Abdullah as a reformer, who also espoused dialogue as a means of solving and addressing issues, Salman who is the Saudi King now also is a man who lives in such beliefs as was his predecessor.

In fact it is said that people proclaim Salman the architect behind the transformation of Riyadh which used to be like a desolated place into a contemporary view  which now displays the historic view of the Red Sea city of Jeddah as it is in this period, when he assumed the position of a governor for Riyadh.
