Suddenly he created 50 000 jobs, so he can promise that the rest of the reasonable demands will be studied and solved as soon as possible. In this case I guarantee that everyone will go home.محفيفnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-47129037870145615262011-03-18T23:53:09.857+04:002011-03-18T23:53:09.857+04:00Why are people striking?

The people need to give the Sultan the time to implement the changes. They cannot expect them to come overnight. Hopefully these people realize that the change they are envisioning will not happen unless they too change. <br /><br />.... Maybe you should go there and share your ideas with these people. You would do a great job. I'm sure!<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-87311006115601301702011-03-18T20:43:36.441+04:002011-03-18T20:43:36.441+04:00What are their demands?What are their demands?spoilefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304944707301976124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-11012774323180536012011-03-18T20:43:07.731+04:002011-03-18T20:43:07.731+04:00What are their demands?What are their demands?spoilefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304944707301976124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-68375365626520235532011-03-18T20:03:50.051+04:002011-03-18T20:03:50.051+04:00Nadia,
I really agree with you.
Just a side note:...Nadia, <br />I really agree with you.<br />Just a side note: a 360 degrees turn would have you end up where you started.<br />It appears this is exactly what some of these protests may result in unfortunately (back to 40 years ago I mean).<br />On the other hand, I have the feeling that it will result in a more "emancipated" workforce for Oman, if these protesters are willing to take real responsibility.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-66621200385645184922011-03-18T19:11:52.825+04:002011-03-18T19:11:52.825+04:00Nadia
