Oman – Sultans

In 1932 Said bin Taimur became the Sultan of Oman and at that time, the country was named, Sultanate of Muscat and Oman.  
Then, in 1970, with the help of the British, his only son, Qaboos bin Said al-Said, staged a coup against him, and he became the next Sultan.  
Qaboos bin Said remained the Sultan of the country until his death by cancer on the 10th of January 2020.  
His cousin Haitham bin Tariq al Said is the current Sultan.

God's Care

In Paris, an 18-month-old baby boy, who was left in an apartment with his three-year-old sister while their parents went for a stroll, fell out of a window. The baby fell from the eighth floor. He fell through the window, bounced off the awning of a restaurant and landed in the arms of someone who was walking by. The baby did not seem to have suffered any physical injury. Wow!  Thank the Lord.

The Maldives’ government claimed that the Commonwealth “sought to become an active participant in the Maldives' domestic political discourse, which is contrary to the principles of the charters of the UN and the Commonwealth.” Then, on the 1st February 2020, under the Ibrahim Mohamed Solih government, the country rejoined the Commonwealth.  Note: The Commonwealth https://thecommonwealth.org/our-member-countries/maldives
