Saudi press
Just to give you a sample from the Saudi press: this is from the propagandist-in-chief of the mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat: "Today, as the Saudis celebrate this scientific edifice, [the opening of] which will coincide with Saudi National Day, the King Saud University in Riyadh – run by a man who deserves a great deal of appreciation, Dr. Abdullah al Othman, who was backed by the support and facilities of King Abdullah in accordance with an agreed plan – is being congratulated for its ranking as one of the best 200 universities in the world."
