摘要

Said bin Taymur was allowed to rule for so long due to the absence of a viable alternative, and his son Sayyid Qaboos was an ‘unknown quantity’. Supporting Said bin Taymur was fatally undermined by the insurgency in Dhofar, and by 1970 the war was all but lost due to the insurgent’s domination of the territory. There were overwhelming political and strategic interests at stake including the maintenance of regional security prior to the withdrawal from the Trucial States in December 1971. Officers serving in the SAF and Foreign Office officials reached the belated conclusion that they had to tacitly encourage Qaboos bin Said to depose his father in July 1970 before it was too late.
