JEDDAH: Saudi officials yesterday unveiled plans for a dedicated residential resort set to house deposed dictators, and rolled out the carpet for more of the world’s despots who might be forced to consider unexpected retirement…
Speaking at the announcement, project manager Sidney Hammour laid out some of the features that former dictators can enjoy within Madinat al-Autocrat. “Each private villa will come with a spacious garden, large enough for our ex tyrants to erect statues several statues of themselves, which we can provide for an additional fee,†he told reporters.
Hammour also said that there would be regular military parades held within the ground, plus a specially produced daily newspaper that would be filled with stories about each former despot’s magnificence. “It’s with the little things like this that we hope to attract deposed oppressors seeking refuge,” he said…
“Just remember to bring your stolen riches with you,” he scoffed. “Because we’re not cheap!”Â
