Oman with new facade and same furniture



The nation that was popular for its tranquility and calmness has been unstable for the past several days, taking the symptom from the epidemic that has been sweeping in the Arab World of anti-government protests.
Omani people have risen against corruption, unemployment, favorism and embezzlement which they think that these unbearable attitudes have been driven by those unsupervised corrupt ministers.
Not that long  till the Sulatan has started applying their demands gradually by sacking and replacing his cabinet but that act had received anger and disappointment from the protesters, because they wanted all minister to be held accountable by a lawful, independent and authorized committee  .
Omani youth have discovered that the country needs entire change in terms of ministers, salaries, and jobs so they have sited-in in the industrial city of Sohar, Muscat, Sur, and Salalal.
The only city that has witnessed the killing of two demonstors by polic riot is Sohar but the other big cities are undergoing the increase in numbers of protesters as a form of peaceful sit-in.
Qaboos government who has been in power since 1970 after the toppling of his father the tyrant hasn't met people's complete demands so far.
Therefore, we are monitoring the situation closely and encouraging every single oppressed Omani to get his or her legitimate rights of honorable and respectful life instead of intimidation and fear that are empowered by government.
