The Imamate Revival: Oman's Internal Struggle Against the Sultan

In the early 20th century, Oman was torn apart by a civil war between the Sultan in Muscat and the Imamate in the interior. This episode explores the rise of Imam Salim al-Kharusi, the Battle of Tanuf in 1915, and the British-brokered Treaty of Sib in 1920 that split Oman into two states. We dive into the Ibadi ideals of the Imamate, the role of tribal alliances, and how this internal conflict shaped modern Oman's unification under Sultan Qaboos. Joined by the voices of Lucas and Luna, we unpack a forgotten chapter of Omani resistance against foreign influence and centralization. #Oman #Imamate #Sultanate #SalimAlKharusi #BattleOfTanuf #TreatyOfSib #Ibadi #Muscat #Nizwa #BritishEmpire #CivilWar #20thCentury #AlBuSaid #OmaniHistory #InteriorOman #TribalAlliances #History #FexingoHistory #OmanHistory #OmaniEmpire Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
