    Extractions: Oman Oman Until 1970 the political title for the Al Said rulers was sultan of Muscat and Oman, implying two historically irreconcilable political cultures: the coastal tradition, the more cosmopolitan, secular, Muscat tradition of the coast ruled by the sultan; and the interior tradition of insularity, tribal in origin and ruled by an imam according to the ideological tenets of Ibadism (see Religion , this ch.). The more cosmopolitan has been the ascending political culture since the founding of the Al Said dynasty in 1744, although the imamate tradition has found intermittent expression. Several millennia ago, Arab tribes migrated eastward to Oman, coinciding with the increasing presence in the region of peoples from present-day Iran. In the sixth century, Arabs succeeded in repelling encroachments of these ethnic groups; the conversion of Arab tribes to Islam in the seventh century resulted in the displacement of the settlers from Iran. The introduction of Ibadism vested power in the imam, the leader nominated by tribal shaykhs and then elected by public acclamation. The Ibadis had five imamates before the founding of the Al Said dynasty. The first imamate in the ninth century became the example of the ideal Ibadi state. The fifth imamate, the Yarubid Imamate, recaptured Muscat from the Portuguese in 1650 after a colonial presence on the northeastern coast of Oman dating to 1508. The Yarubid dynasty expanded, acquiring former Portuguese colonies in East Africa and engaging in the slave trade. By 1719 dynastic succession led to the nomination of Saif ibn Sultan II, who had not yet reached puberty. His candidacy prompted a rivalry among the ulama and a civil war between the two major tribes, the Hinawi and the Ghafiri, with the Ghafiri supporting Saif ibn Sultan II. He assumed power in 1748 after the leaders of both factions had been killed in battle, but the rivalry continued, with the factionalization working in favor of the Iranians, who occupied Muscat and Suhar in 1743.

    Extractions: Ras al Jinz in the Sharqiya region — targeted as an eco-tourist locale ENCOURAGED by the upturn in tourist traffic after a prolonged and damaging slump, Oman’s tourism authorities are now mounting a multi-pronged drive to woo travellers in significant numbers to the Sultanate. Central to this goal is a plan to diversify the tourism product to include opportunities for eco-tourism, adventure tourism and cultural tourism. It is an ambitious strategy designed to double tourist arrivals and the size of the tourism economy by 2010. Details of the government’s future vision for tourism development were unveiled at a recent investment conference by Mohsin bin Khamis al Balushi, Under-Secretary for Tourism at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. He said the government’s strategy was designed to turn Oman into a hub for tourism in the region, and increase the sector’s contribution to the Gross Domestic Product to three per cent by the year 2020. A key element of the strategy set out by the Directorate-General of Tourism calls for a major diversification of the tourism product. With the assistance of Ireland-based consultants, IDI, the department has identified a raft of projects aimed at making the Sultanate a destination for eco-tourists and adventure-minded visitors.

    Extractions: Oman - Government Institutions Government institutions on the national level include the Council of Ministers and two other bodies: the National Defense Council and the National Development Council. In 1992 the Council of Ministers had twenty-seven members, including the prime minister and three deputy prime ministersfor security and defense, legal affairs, and financial and economic affairs. The sultan occupied the sensitive posts of prime minister, minister of defense, minister of foreign affairs, and minister of finance. Sultan Qabus ibn Said controls all ministerial appointments and cabinet reshuffles. Policy formulation remains largely the product of person-to-person negotiations between the sultan and individual ministers. The National Defense Council, working in conjunction with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Interior, coordinates the activities of the Royal Armed Forces (formerly called the Sultan's Armed Forces) and the Royal Oman Police. The National Development Council manages national development planning, and all projects involving more than a certain minimum expenditure require its review. In 1991 Qabus established the Consultative Council (Majlis ash Shura), a sixty-member body. The Consultative Council superseded the fifty-five-member State Consultative Council (SCC; Majlis al Istishari lil Dawlah) created in 1981 with significant regional and popular as well as official representation.

The introduction of Ibadism vested power in the imam, the leader nominated by tribal shaykhs and then elected by public acclamation. The Al Said dynasty was founded when Ahmad ibn Said Al Said was elected imam following the expulsion of the Iranians from Muscat in 1744. Like its predecessors, Al Said dynastic rule has been characterized by a history of internecine family struggle, fratricide, and usurpation. Apart from threats within the ruling family, there was the omnipresent challenge from the independent tribes of the interior who rejected the authority of the sultan, recognizing the imam as the sole legitimate leader and pressing, by resort to arms, for the restoration of the imamate.

    Extractions: In addition to its relatively modest oil reserves, Oman is important to world oil markets because of its strategic location overlooking the Strait of Hormuz. It is also actively seeking to develop its capacity to export liquefied natural gas. Note: Information contained in this report is the best available as of October 2003 and can change. GENERAL BACKGROUND Oman has been ruled by Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said since 1970, when he deposed his father in a bloodless coup. All power is concentrated in the hands of the Sultan, who also holds the top positions in the finance, defense, and foreign affairs ministries. Rules governing the succession to the throne were formalized in the 1996 Basic Law. This removed a source of possible instability given that the Sultan is childless and 60 years old. There is no Omani legislative assembly, though there are two consultative bodies called the Majlis al-Dawla and the Majlis al-Shura. Together, the two chambers form the Council of Oman. The Majlis al-Dawla is appointed, while the Majlis al-Shura is elected. The next election will be held in October 2003, and there will be universal adult suffrage for the first time.

    Extractions: WorldNetDaily.com January 14, 2002 The government of Oman is cutting its defense budget and shifting more funds into social services as part of an effort to quell domestic opposition to its cooperation with the United States. Reducing the threat of unrest will clear the way for greater military ties with Washington, which may be considering further options in the region for conducting its campaign against terrorism. Oman, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, is adjusting its budget to reflect its assistance to Washington's war on terror. But the oil-rich sultanate actually is reducing defense funding and shifting the savings into social welfare programs, Middle East Newsline reported. Unlike many other governments in the region, Oman's regime has faced relatively little domestic opposition to its relationship with the United States. This is largely due to strong oil revenues and an extremely tolerant local strain of Islam. Even so, it appears the Omani leadership is investing in preventative measures to keep a lid on unrest, knowing that Washington will guarantee its external security. By addressing domestic security before it becomes an issue, Oman hopes to avoid the problems faced by neighboring Saudi Arabia, where extremist Muslims actively oppose the basing of U.S. military forces there. A pacified population will allow the Omani government to deepen its involvement with the U.S. military, which likely is re-examining its options in the anti-terror campaign.
