For now, Oman’s complicated transition process remains as opaque as ever.

He served as Under Secretary (1986 to 1994), and later as the Secretary General in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1994 to 2002). Oman, however, considers stability in Yemen a core national interest and has, since the outbreak of Saudi Arabia’s war against the Houthis, actively pushed for the resumption of the U.N. sponsored peace process for Yemen. Over the past 40 years, the country has grown from an impoverished state into a modern economy. They, along with the new Sultan Haitam bin Tariq Al Said are sons of Tariq Al Said, who was Oman’s first Prime Minister. He separated from Nawal later and had no children - a cause of serious concern to members of the ruling family and Oman's external friends. In 1976 Qaboos ibn Sa‘id married his cousin, Kamila, née Sayyidah Nawwal bint Tariq (born 1951), daughter of HH Sayyid Tariq ibn Taymur, but the marriage soon ended in … Sayyid Asaad, 63, is a career government official and the son of Tariq bin Taimur, Sultan Qaboos’s uncle, who was the sultanate’s first prime minister before the sultan took over the position himself.

Sultan Qaboos is a Muslim of the Ibadhi sect which has traditionally ruled Oman. Oman’s transition structure is widely understood among Omanis, which could explain why the transition issue has not become a national matter of contention or controversy even if it has become an issue of international curiosity. Had Assad’s appointment been made prior to the visits, it would have further fueled speculation that he has the inside track to become Qaboos’ heir apparent.

Born in Salalah, an Omani coastal town, washed by the Indian monsoon, on November 18, 1940 as the only son of Sultan Said bin Taimur, a Mayo Alumnus - who ruled Oman since 1930 – the deceased Sultan Qaboos had a lonely and cloistered childhood. For the same reason, Oman did not take sides in a dispute between Qatar and the GCC states of Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain. While Omanis generally credit Qaboos for having presided over an era of peace and prosperity, his neutrality-based foreign policy doctrine seems equally popular as it plays an integral part of what has in the post-Arab Spring environment been referred to as “Omani exceptionalism,” namely that Muscat does not have to adhere to transnational trends pertaining to sectarianism or the seemingly endless Saudi-Iranian rivalry. According to a 1996 decree, read with its amendments, the much admired Qaboos’s successor was to be chosen by a royal family council within three days, failing which a Council of Military and Security officials, Supreme Court chiefs and heads of the two Consultative Assemblies had to put into power the person whose name has been secretly written in a sealed envelope by the deceased Sultan.

The late sultan was briefly married from 1976 to 1979 to Sayyida Nawal bint Tariq Al-Said. In 1996, Oman got its Constitution. Qaboos established Oman’s first cabinet, government departments and two advisory bodies, including the elected Shura Council representing the country’s provinces or Wilayats. The high profile visits could perhaps be intended to signal that Qaboos’ health has improved significantly – or is at least in a stable condition – since his return in April 2016 from Germany, where he had undergone a two-month checkup for what is believed to be colon cancer.
