TBH looks fishy to me. Article claims there's 10 princes and 38 officials. But there's hardly 5 beds on that video, which could just as easily be stuffed with cushions. And why are there guns lying on the corner with the guard being on the other side?

Looks like PR work while they stay in their nice rooms.

Those are actually soldiers guarding the Ritz. Each of those princes has armed guards on their payroll so the government needs to blockade the hotel
