Meanwhile, the succession is still being argued. Sultan’s death is the first time that the burial of a Saudi royal has been delayed to give the ruling family time to decide on the next in line – a sign of internal discord (and concord on the continuation of dynastic rule).
与此同时，接班人之争远未尘埃落定。阿齐兹的葬礼因为统治家族需要时间来确定接班人而被推迟，这是破天荒第一回，表明统治家族存在内部分歧（但在延续王朝统治这一问题上是一致的）。
