During the late 1960s Oman was perhaps one of the most autocratic states in the world; the Sultan Sa’id ibn Taymur forbade both education and even internal travel.
On July 23, 1970, the ongoing Dhofar rebellion led to a palace coup, Sultan Sa’id ibn Taymur was overthrown by his son, Qaboos bin Sa’id. Qaboos quickly reversed his father’s policy of isolation and began to develop and modernize Oman. Sultan Qaboos appointed the country’s first official cabinet and took steps toward building a modern government structure. The rebellion in Dhofar continued so Sultan Qaboos who had been trained in Britain at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst and well aware of the capabilities of the British Special Air Services (SAS) asked for their assistance.
Initially one squadron was sent (a squadron comprises 4 troops each with 32 men, who are further divided into 8 four man patrols), then a second was sent. They began to occupy and fortify commanding positions on the mountain range throughout the Dhofar region. Their task was made easier as the insurgents were fervent Marxists and this did not sit well with the locals who were devout Muslims.
Over the next few months many of the locals who had fought with the insurgents began to defect to the Omani side and the SAS formed them into “counter gangs”, using their superior local knowledge & family ties. So buy Rolex in London.
