    I have been tracking the region for 20 years & the levels of anger are off the charts different to anything I can remember. Aside from the constant images from Gaza, I suspect part of this is the acute perception of double standards after 2 yrs of lecturing about Russia-Ukraine.

    What a line from @EdwardGLuce 'Like a dog returning to its vomit, I fear the Conservative party has already forgotten that Johnson was the least popular postwar prime minister until Truss came along.'

    Canceled my Christmas trip to England because of Omicron, so naturally got hit by a car in Houston walking home from work. Could’ve been a lot worse, but definitely feel I’ve used up at least 3 of my 9 lives. Feeling rather more thankful than festive this Xmas

    Sultan Qaboos is arguably the most exceptional ruler any of the Gulf States has had in modern times.

    كيف تبقى مُطلعاً على الأمور بالبلاد؟ جلالة السلطان يجيب: "أذهب للشعب أذهب إليهم في الشارع في القرى في المدن وأحياناً هم يستوقفونني" #قابوس_قلوبنا_معك #السلطان_قابوس_بن_سعيد

    The Armistice that ended the First World War was signed at 5.10 am on November 11, 1918, but it did not take effect until 11 am. That final morning of the war claimed nearly 11,000 casualties, including more than 2700 deaths, the final one being recorded at 10.59 am.

    THREAD ON OMANI SUCCESSION. Sultan Qaboos appointed a Prime Minister in 1970-71 (his uncle, Tariq bin Taimur) and married (briefly) in 1976 but did not have issue. It is the sons of Tariq bin Taimur who are often spoken of as possible successors to Sultan Qaboos.
