Heard it very early this morning too. Not a big fan of the monarchical system of dispensation but I must say here and now that I am a huge fan of this man- Sultan Qaboos, for the way he kept his country largely silent whilst its neighbours were busy losing their heads over regional control and sundry balderdash! Besides, I am quite fascinated by the Al Said dynasty as a whole. Those guys have about the longest and most noteworthy history of all the ruling houses in the Middle East and they have never really been short of powerful and smart leaders who know how to deploy war and diplomacy to their advantage. Sultan Qaboos epitomized all of this. I hope his successor- which should be one of his nephews, I believe- continues in the way he has steered that country. Oman's neutrality is a calming effect and a plus to the turbulent Middle East and it must be kept that way at all cost. They can't all go crazy at once. 67 Likes 4 Shares |

Qatar's current leader also overthrew his father just like this man, and turned the country into a mini American country with nearly unlimited prosperity for its citizens. A big coincidence. Omani riyal is the second or third most valuable currency in the world, after Kuwaiti dinar. Minimum wage is about $600 (₦200K) and citizens receive $260 extra 55 Likes 6 Shares |

All this monarchist is a no no for me Overthrowing your father to ascend the throne then rule for almost-forever, nobody else is good enough to rule unless child of the woman you impregnated African monarchy will have been worse if they have instruments of state at their disposal He probably didn't have a child because he fear his kids overthrowing him 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The man did overthrow his papa....although it was for a good reason, in a way. When his father was on the throne, he deliberately kept the country backward. (Just to show you how bad things were...when the recently deceased sultan took over, the country had three schools, and ten kilomenters of paved roads) .The Sultan Qaboos in essence modernised the country. He was still an autocrat, though. 9 Likes 1 Share |
