Oman's Imamate of 1913: The Rebellion of Salim al-Kharusi

In 1913, a charismatic Ibadi imam named Salim al-Kharusi ignited a rebellion that nearly toppled Oman's Busaidi sultanate. This episode dives into the Imamate of 1913: its roots in tribal grievances against Sultan Taimur bin Faisal, the key battle at Bayt al-Falaj, and the eventual Treaty of Seeb that partitioned Oman into coastal and interior zones. We explore al-Kharusi's leadership, the role of the Batinah coast tribes, and how this conflict shaped modern Omani identity. A forgotten war that redrew the map. #OmanHistory #ImamateOf1913 #SalimAlKharusi #Ibadi #TreatyOfSeeb #BaytAlFalaj #Batinah #Muscat #SultanTaimur #BritishEmpire #MiddleEastHistory #Rebellion #20thCentury #ForgottenWar #ArabHistory #Oman #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
