What’s behind the Arab silence over Khashoggi’s fate?
There has been no official reaction in the Arab world to the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey.
The Arab world stays silent. A Saudi journalist and critic of the Saudi leadership has possibly been killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
But there’s been no official reaction from any Arab government, and hardly any condemnation from Arab media.
The international community is demanding answers, and pressure is growing on Saudi Arabia to explain Jamal Khashoggi‘s disappearance.
So what’s behind the Arab silence?
