Update (9): Goodbye Malik bin Suleiman

His Majesty Sultan Qaboos just issued (yet) another Royal decree just now announcing the appointment of Hassan bin Mohsin Al Shariqi as Inspector General of Police and Customs. So, that means my speculation and the rumors from last week were true; Lt Gen Malik bin Sulaiman Al Mamari, Former Inspector General of Police and Customs is out. This is huge news. I know many protesters were demanding his removal. We saw plenty of him on Oman TV during Cyclone Gonu and Phet, but besides that I don't know much about him. Is he too being accused of corruption?

    I've read the same on different websites, but how come this was not announced by Oman News Agency? Was there a royal decree regarding this?

    Nadia,
    Things have now got out of hand in Oman. These protesters are now protesting for the sake of protesting and worse they are causing arson. HM has instituted changes....and more will come but when the law is broken on a daily basis....there has to be red line in the sand.

    Malik bin Suleiman was a good man. His majesty used him as the Minister of Telecom and then Minster of Land and finally Minster to Police/customs to clean up other corrupt Ministries. We lost a good and honest man in the bargain!
