El viaje era largo y peligroso, pero el riesgo compensaba. La extraordinaria calidad del incienso omaní ha atraído caravanas de mercaderes durante milenios. Merecía la pena atravesar desiertos o embarcarse en inciertas travesías por el mar Arábigo para conseguir un producto que, aún hoy, sigue jugando un importante papel en la cultura del país. No sorprende que uno de los monumentos más representativos de su capital sea un incensario gigante sobre una montaña. A nosotros nos sirve de faro para orientarnos en Mascate, ciudad de edificios blancos que continúa creciendo sin dar la espalda a la tradición. Nos acompaña la española Covadonga Martínez, que ha impartido clases en una escuela de arte y diseño local durante seis años. Contamos también con Carlos Alejandre –antiguo expatriado en Omán– y los guías Álex Martínez y Jon Lazkano. Después de visitar el palacio y la gran mezquita del sultán Qaboos, conducimos hacia las montañas para conocer Niswa, antigua capital que nos muestra la viajera Alicia Ortego. Otro gran conocedor y exresidente, el pintor Juan Benosa, propone un viaje por la costa con paradas en complejos turísticos como Bandar Jissah, pueblos pesqueros como Qurayyat y la ciudad portuaria de Sur. Se une a esta aventura la viajera Tatiana Sidlik para recorrer cañones como Wadi Shab o Wadi Bani Khalid y pasar una inolvidable noche entre las dunas de Sharqiya, desierto también conocido como Wahiba Sands. El recorrido termina en la sureña ciudad de Salalah, cerca de la frontera de Yemen, donde cada año el impactante fenómeno del khareef torna un paraje árido en vergel por el influjo de la humedad monzónica.Histórico de emisiones:27/11/21Escuchar audio

Quand on parle de communisme, les images que l'on a généralement en tête viennent de Russie, de Chine ou même de Cuba. On associe rarement la péninsule arabique et ses tribus bédouines à cette idéologie. Et pourtant, durant près de 15 ans, une révolte communiste s'est déroulée dans le désert reculé d'Oman. Cette guerre opposait initialement un groupe de rebelles de la région du Dhofar au pouvoir central du sultanat d'Oman. Mais rapidement, ce conflit évolua en un combat régional qui impliqua des acteurs aussi divers que le Mossad Israélien, les forces du Shah d'Iran, les communistes du Sud-Yémen ou encore la Chine de Mao. Certains comparent même cette guerre à la guerre d'Espagne en Europe. Dans ce podcast, on va donc se plonger dans plusieurs questions: Qu'est-ce qui a causé cette guerre ? A quoi ressemblait le communisme chez des tribus arabes bédouines ? Et comment elle a impacté Oman et le reste du Moyen-Orient ? Un podcast du label Podcut

Fast ein halbes Jahrhundert stand Qaboos bin Said Al-Said an der Spitze des Sultanats - länger als jeder andere Herrscher im Nahen Osten. Seinem Nachfolger, Sultan Haitham, hat er ein schwieriges Erbe hinterlassen: Die Einnahmen aus der Erdölförderung reichen längst nicht mehr aus, um die Staatsausgaben zu finanzieren. Der neue Sultan muss das Bildungssystem entwickeln, Arbeitsplätze schaffen, die Wirtschaft umgestalten - und sein Volk für Reformen gewinnen. Anne Allmeling berichtet aus dem Oman für SWR Aktuell Kontext.

Fast ein halbes Jahrhundert stand Qaboos bin Said Al-Said an der Spitze des Sultanats Oman. Seinem Nachfolger, Sultan Haitham, hat er ein schwieriges Erbe hinterlassen: Die Einnahmen aus der Erdölförderung reichen längst nicht mehr aus, um die üppigen Staatsausgaben zu finanzieren.

Fast 50 Jahre lang stand Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al-Said an der Spitze des Oman. Eine Herrschaftsspanne, die die aller anderen Herrscher im Nahen Osten übertrifft. Seinem Nachfolger, Sultan Haitham, hat Qaboos bin Said Al-Said allerdings ein schwieriges Erbe hinterlassen: Die Einnahmen aus der Erdölförderung reichen längst nicht mehr aus, um die üppigen Staatsausgaben zu finanzieren. Der neue Sultan muss Reformen durchführen, u.a. im Bildungssystem, auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und in der Wirtschaft.

Fast 50 Jahre lang stand Sultan Qaboos Ben Said Al-Said an der Spitze des Oman. Es gelang ihm in dieser Zeit, das Sultanat zu modernisieren und so zu einem der fortschrittlichsten Staaten am Golf zu machen. Im Januar 2020 starb Qaboos. Seinem Nachfolger hinterließ er ein schwieriges Erbe. Denn die Einnahmen aus der Erdölförderung reichen längst nicht mehr aus, um die üppigen Staatsausgaben weiterhin zu finanzieren. Und auch die Covid19 Pandemie macht dem Sultanat schwer zu schaffen.

Am 18. November ist Nationalfeiertag im Oman – zum 50. Mal. Fast durchgängig regierte Qaboos bin Said Al-Said das Sultanat. Sein Nachfolger, Sultan Haitham, hat nun mit einem schwierigen Erbe zu kämpfen: geringe Öleinnahmen, zu hohe Staatsausgaben.

لن نبكي أبداً بعد اليوم، ما بذلته من عمرك، لا يفيه البكاء وليس لأجل هذا انت بذلت فلن يكون بذلك ابداً هباء أردتنا قادة نبني المجد، من تاريخ ملهم، وحاضر مُكرم أهل صدقٍ، رُسل سلامٍ، جيوش محبةٍ وفي الوغى نُقدم وكنت أنت للصدق والثبات رمزاً وكانت الحِكمة لك سلاحا فكان لك من الجليل ما سعيت، وكان لك منه تأييدا وفلاحا دون أي ضجيج أتيت وبلا ضجيج رحلت فكيف رحلت والخير ضجيج من افعالك أي البشر أنت؟ جئت ذات نهار، على يمناك بشارة عهد جديد فكنا نحن شهداء، بل والعالم أجمع، وكنت انت علينا شهيد نصحت فكانت آيات الكتاب لك مؤيدا، ثم تلا نهج الحبيب محمدا فطوبا لك يا مولاي، طبت وطاب ثراك وعنا ندعوا الله لك الجنة جزاءً على خطاك، اليوم أنا عازم، آلا أغادر الدنيا دونما اترك ارثاً او علما يناله من هم من بعدي والله ولي توفيقي، على نهج محمدٍ وكما علمتني مدرستك، واذا نادا الوطن، فيا سعدي وإني لمؤمنٌ بأنه: قد يسودُ المرءُ من دونِ أبٍ .. وبِحسنِ السّبك قدْ يُنقَى الدّغّل ‍غيرَ أني أحمـدُ اللهَ على .. زماني إذ في زمانِ قابوس حصل

Samkvæmt rannsóknum dreifast falsfréttir hraðar en réttar og staðreyndar fréttir. En það eru ekki allir sammála um það hvernig eigi að skilgreina falsfréttir eða hvort yfir höfuð eigi að nota það orð. Fyrirbærið er ekki á neinu undanhaldi og það gengur illa að stemma stigu við því, þrátt fyrir ýmsar tilraunir. Þetta var meðal þess sem kom fram í máli Valgerðar Jóhannsdóttur, lektors við stjórnmálafræðideild Háskóla Íslands. Brexit og Megxit voru til umræðu í Lundúnaspjalli Sigrúnar Davíðsdóttur. Tíu dagar eru í útgöngu Bretlands úr Evrópusambandinu og tímamótunum verður fagnað með ýmsu móti, þó enn sé ýmislegt óljóst um framhaldið. Þá hefur verið komist að samkomulagi um útgöngu Harry prins og Meghan Markle úr konungsfjölskyldunni. Qaboos, sem var soldán í Persaflóaríkinu Óman í tæpa hálfa öld, lést fyrir rúmri viku. Soldáninn þótti ólíkur mörgum öðrum valdamönnum í þessum heimshluta, og var lýst sem menntuðum einvaldi. Hann gerði miklar umbætur á ómönsku samfélagi en var sannarlega einvaldur. Frændi hans tók við völdum við andlát hans og hefur lofað að stýra með svipuðum hætti, en soldáninn var barnlaus. Það var talið víst við hirð hans að hann væri samkynhneigður og hefði átt í ýmsum samböndum um ævina. Þetta var meðal þess sem Vera Illugadóttir ræddi.

Saate teemaks on Omaani sultanaadi ja sultanivõimu areng 20. sajandil. See on lugu riigist, mis veel 19. sajandil oli maailma suurimaid orjakaubitsemise keskusi, ent millest tänaseks on saanud rikas naftatootja ja turismikuurort. Loo peategelaseks on võimulolev sultan Qaboos ibn Sa'id al-Said, kes tõi Omaani keskajast tänapäeva, ning suutis Islamimaailma mullistuste keskel tagada riigis rahu ja stabiilsuse.

Saate teemaks on Omaani sultanaadi ja sultanivõimu areng 20. sajandil. See on lugu riigist, mis veel 19. sajandil oli maailma suurimaid orjakaubitsemise keskusi, ent millest tänaseks on saanud rikas naftatootja ja turismikuurort. Loo peategelaseks on võimulolev sultan Qaboos ibn Sa'id al-Said, kes tõi Omaani keskajast tänapäeva, ning suutis Islamimaailma mullistuste keskel tagada riigis rahu ja stabiilsuse.

Speaker: Marc Valeri, University of Exeter Chair: Toby Dodge, LSE Middle East Centre Oman’s foreign policy under Qaboos is usually considered to be pragmatic and independent – as illustrated by the sultanate’s role in facilitating the conclusion of the Iran-P5+1 nuclear deal in 2013 and its announcement that it would not join a hypothetical Gulf union. However such a widely accepted view should not obscure the fact that the price to pay for the perpetuation of this foreign policy has been an unquestioned political and economic dependence towards London and Washington. Recorded on 22 May 2014. This is an LSE Kuwait Programme event.

In Episode #11, Billy Big Rig finally has to deal with the ardorous advances of Qaboos.  America invades Afghanistan, so Billy and Rafa have to accompany the Taliban to Tora Bora.  Rafa gets her ultimate revenge, Billy gets HIS ultimate revenge, then something bad happens! WARNING!  Billy has something of a potty mouth with neanderthal attitudes about politics and cultural diversity.  If you are without an appreciation for satirical humor, go pet a kitty and knit a doily.  If you download this and are offended, it's your fault.  Not Billy's!

In Episode #4, Billy Big Rig introduces us to his "Sand Freightliner" cellmate, Qaboos.  His new friend tries to share the basic tenents of Islam with Billy, but Billy has a problem with any religion where a fella can't eat pork.  But friendship is friendship, and when Billy catches wind of Qaboos' plan to escape with several of his fellow Islamic prisoners, Billy feels compelled to tell the warden -- not because he doesn't think Qaboos should be free, but because he would miss him as a friend.  The warden has long since stopped accepting requests for a personal audience with Billy... but this time, well... the warden is interested.  Billy finds himself in the warden's office, handcuffed naked to a cold, metal chair, faced with the warden, two "Freightliner" guards, and the most evil man to draw breath in the latter part of the 20th Century -- Bill Clinton. WARNING!  Billy sees himself as the very milk of human kindness and racial understanding.  (Not so much with the gays, however.)  You will not see him in the same light.  In fact, you may find some of what he says to be offensive.  If you have no concept of "satire" and still download this episode and find yourself shocked, appalled and offended, that's YOUR fault, not Billy's!

After being coerced by the Warden and President Clinton into convincing Qaboos to include him in his escape plans, Billy has some time to think about past mistakes -- including his many, many marriages.  He's been stabbed, beaten with billy clubs and handcuffed naked to a light pole in a truck stop in Effingham, Ill.  But only one of his ex-wives cared enough to shoot him.  Billy confronts his cellmate about the escape plans and after a tense (and homoerotic) moment, Qaboos agrees to include Billy in the escape. WARNING:  If you were to ask Billy Big Rig, he would tell you that God made us all the same, and the color of our skin and the texture of our hair makes no never mind to God so it shouldn't to us neither.  (Just don't get him started about homosexuals!  That sh*t ain't right!)  You are not so likely to agree with Billy's self-appraisal.  Therefore, if you woke up this morning and someone has run off with your satire processor, if you download and listen to this episode and are offended by it, it's YOUR fault, not Billy's!
