    I'm surprised the Arab Spring demonstrations there in 2011 aren't more well known. I wonder if Oman will remain a force for stability. And also if it could undergo a liberalization like Saudi Arabia:

    He was one of only few brave Arab leaders which wanted peace and not blindly infavor of the "Palestinians".
    May he rest in peace.
