the After protests effects in Oman!

Sohar Globe roundabout where protests started

So it has been really crazy, what's going on in the protests in Oman especially in Sohar which was the main focus for the media circus. After the violence and vandalism drama that happened by some of the protesters, immediate responses were taken by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos.

I was live-tweeting the royal orders and decrees as they were announced on Oman TV and you can also follow the updates on twitter by following the #Oman and #Sohar hashtags. Also you can check Muscat Mutterings blog for the protests coverage as well as Dhofari Gucci blog . In the meanwhile I'll repost my previous tweets here and translate them.

1. A committee will be formed to agree on terms of expanding the Majlis Al Shura authority
2. Royal Orders: providing jobs for 50 thousand Omani citizens.
3. royal orders to the minister of Diwan of royal courts to go listen to the protesters requirements and demands
4. taking the necessary steps for The State Audit Institution to have it's role increased.
5. Royal orders: distributing a monthly salary amount of 150 R.O for jobseekers registered in manpower until employment
6. there will be a number of ministers from members of the Majlis A'Shura with effect from the next term
7. Release of all protesters that have been jailed,& ONA was informed of 1 death during the recent events in Sohar

that's from what I have tweeted and translated to english. I beleive there are more detailed decrees and orders that you can check them out on the Oman News Agency website 

cheers,
