Badr ibn Abd al-Aziz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Badr ibn Abd al-Aziz Al Saud ( 1932 - April 1, 2013 ) ( Arabic بدر بن عبد العزيز آل سعود, DMG Badr b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Āl Saʿūd ) was for many years deputy commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard and a high-ranking member of the royal family .

Early years

Prince Badr was born in 1932. He was the twentieth son of King Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud . His mother was Haya bint Sa'ad al-Sudairi, who died of an unknown cause of death in Riyadh on April 18, 2003 at the age of 90 and was also buried there. She belonged to the influential Sudairi family . Prince Badr's full brothers were Abdul Majid ibn Abd al-Aziz and Abdul Elah ibn Abd al-Aziz . Badr was educated in Riyadh.

Career

Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz appointed Badr ibn Abd al-Aziz Minister of Transport in 1960 and Minister of Communications in 1961. However, he only held this office for one year, since he then joined the Free Princes Movement, which existed from 1962 to 1964, together with Talal ibn Abd al-Aziz and Fawwaz ibn Abd al-Aziz . During this time he lived in exile, mainly in Beirut and Cairo . He was later rehabilitated by Faisal ibn Abd al-Aziz . After his rehabilitation, Prince Badr was appointed deputy commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) in 1967. He was also a member of Saudi delegations responsible for international missions.

He was responsible for Al-Jenadriyah , an annual cultural event that takes place in and around Riyadh. Although King Abdullah supported him, Badr ibn Abd al-Aziz remained relatively unknown to the public and did not belong to the powerful branch of the family. As deputy commander of SANG, he became a member of the newly established National Security Council in 2005. He also became a member of the newly formed Saudi Arabia Trust Council in 2007.

Due to health problems, Prince Badr asked in November 2010 to be dismissed from the post of deputy commander of the SANG. Just minutes later, the agency announced that they had accepted the resignation request. In United States diplomatic circles he has been identified as an advisor to Abdullah ibn Abd al-Aziz .

family

Prince Badr was married to Hessa bint Abdullah al-Sudairi, the daughter of his maternal uncle. Together they had seven children, four daughters and three sons. His eldest son Fahd was the governor of al-Jauf province . Prince Fahd's wife is Sarah bint Abdullah, the daughter of King Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud and Hessa bint Trad al-Shaalan.

death

Prince Badr died on April 1, 2013 at the age of 81. On April 2, after the Asr, he was prayed for in the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh.
