this branch of Saudi arm force is separated from the regular arm forces of KSA and does not come under the Ministry of Defence, they directly report to the KING the basic purpose of this parallel force is the to Guard & protect House of Saud from coups.....
So GOD SAVE THE KING.............
Firstly, the SANG does report to the king himself ,but the SNAG won't be the only presidency to do so. Every presidency, governmental institution, and ministry DOES report to the Royal Cabinet ,so I guess the SANG doesn't enjoy that much of a privilege or exception, does it?
Secondly, No, the SNAG is not responsible for protecting the ROYALTIES, if that's what you're implying. The Royal Guard DOES take care of the ROYALTIES. The RG is more or less similar to the British Royal Guard, the Saudi version is much larger.
As for the upgrade of the SANG, I would say that Bloomberg doesn't know a thing about the internal politics of Saudi. Bloomberg is also known for their speculative takes when it comes to the Middle East. The analysis they came up with is very distorted, and I personally find it very ambiguous.
Let just wind the clock a few decades ago, the role the SNAG had taken back then had nothing to do with protecting an X or a Y official at all, in fact, the SNAG participated in the first Gulf War as well as the Ground Masjid Seizure.
During the first Gulf War, KSA relied heavy on the SANG to fight Sadaam's troop in Khafji back then, which had forced Sadaam's troop to retreat within less than 73 hours, and without the remarkable efforts being made by these brave-men, KSA might have faced some sort of an obstacle back then. Same is to be said for the Ground Seizure Masjid as well, the SANG had taken an active role. So with that being said, I still would question the reliability of the readings Bloomberg, introduced to its readers. With one thing or another, however, I'm also beginning to suspect how knowledgable Bloomberg is when it comes to the Saudi internal realpolitik.
Today, the SNAG has founded 3 additional University to the traditional college of its own, which is dedicated for its military. Moreover, the SANG has got its own hospitals, the first is located in Riyadh, the second in Jeddah, and Al-Hasa. Therefore, and due to the expansion of the SANG, it was recommended by the Crown himself as well as the Royal Cabinet advisors to upgrade the SNAG to become a dependent governmental body on its own. This expansion was much needed these days, KSA needs more Medical Colleges, Hospitals, and it will dramatically reduce our unemployment rate. To put more icing on the cake, the SNAG is also planning to build its own air force, and that will also help us to create more jobs for our people.
This great decision has professionally and skillfully being studied by our political elite, the expansion of the SANG will be one of the greatest achievements that OUR man has made.
All the best
