Oman is a poor Gulf state when compared to the Abu Dhabi, Kuwait or Qatar but it's relatively prosperous.

Oman was probably the biggest slave trading nation in the Gulf in the 1800s and still dealt in slaves in the 20th century. Slaves were captured in East Africa and taken to Zanzibar and Oman to be disposed off.

The male slaves were usually castrated and became eunuchs. They were to serve the wives in rich men's harem and could only be trusted if they if their private were inoperational.

I'm not sure what the black women were used for but a good number were sex slaves. Even if they were not sex slaves but worked as maids or whatever, their masters masters had relations with them at will, at times, even the masters children and so on.

The offspring were spared slavery and many even worked as slave catchers.

When Tanzania gained independence, the country drove away the Arabs from Zanzibar. Till date in Oman, Arabs that were driven fro. Zanzibar are called a name which strongly indicates their African roots.

Due to the intermixing with slaves, many omanis are darker skinned than other Gulf states and many are even black but with an Arab soul.

Interestingly, a third of all Kuwaitis are black.

It's Kuwait (which is also a country in the middle East) that has the strongest currency in the world.

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
Morocco is a monarchy and is doing well...

Iran was Sunni before they went into shiism.

Seems like all religion are intertwined.
Even their earliest religion u mentioned and abrahamic religion has some things in common too.

Religion is all about control. Can never separate that from politics.

overthrowing is allowed when a fvcked up archaic father happened to be on a throne he did not merit.

They opened a new airport 2 years ago and it is very beautiful.

It can cater for 20 million visitors per year.

There is no airport in Nigeria that you can use to compare the new Muscat airport

One of the best arab/Muslim countries. I worked there for two years. Very modest people. But sultan qaboos is gay. Kept having sex with underage boys in his yacht. Homosexuality is so high in Oman yet policy of ambiguity has kept everyone mute. 60% of men Oman are gays according to a quiet local statistics.

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.

That u took ur time to type this amazes me

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.

Why he no get pikin despite the ability to marry 4 wives?

Was he shooting blanks?
