The Dhaka Times Desk After the official recognition of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by the royal Saudi government, there was an immediate angry response from various international circles.
After the official recognition of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by the monarchical Saudi government, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and other US officials, including the White House, have reacted to this matter.
In a statement early today (Saturday), UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres expressed deep sorrow over Khashoggi's murder. Antonio Guterres also demanded an impartial and transparent investigation into the matter.
Antonio Guterres said, "This brutal killing must be investigated above all implications and the real killer must be found."
Saudi Arabia's state television officially acknowledged for the first time last night (Friday) that journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
In this regard, US Senator Lindsey Graham wrote in a Twitter message that, 'First it was said that Jamal Khashoggi left the consulate and Saudi Arabia had no hand in his disappearance. And now it is being said that the journalist Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate without the knowledge of the Saudi prince (Mohammed bin Salman). It is very difficult to accept this new interpretation.'
Representative Ted Lew of California in the US House of Representatives called Saudi Arabia's latest announcement 'nonsense'. He quoted Turkish and US intelligence sources as saying that the body of a person killed in a 'conflict' never needs to be cut into pieces with a saw.
However, the White House, the palace of the US President, has expressed a different reaction to the recognition of Saudi Arabia. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said that the White House expressed satisfaction with the results of the latest investigation into the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, which Saudi Arabia has released, and the actions taken against those involved in the incident!
Meanwhile, the sensible people of the world think that such a statement of the United States was made to save the Saudi royal family.
Notably, Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has been missing since entering the Saudi consulate in Turkey. Saudi Arabia has been denying the news that he has been killed since the beginning. Even though Khashoggi is said to have left the embassy, the Saudi embassy could not provide any proof. Because there was only video of Khashoggi's entry on CC TV. They could not show any video of him leaving. Saudi Arabia finally acknowledged the killing after widespread criticism in the world media.
