| | The Insurgency In Oman, 1962-1976 |
 | | The success of the PFLOAG in Dhofar was not going without notice in the remainder of Oman, and a "new" revolutionary group, the National Democratic Front for the Liberation of Oman and the Arabian Gulf (NDFLOAG), coalesced in the north. | | | Unfortunately for the insurgents, however, the British-educated son of the Sultan led a coup in 1970, producing a reversal in a campaign that was promising solid success. | | | The DLF was associated with the Arab Nationalist Movement (ANM), a Nasserist organization that had branches in virtually every Arab state. |

| | The movement in the region had originally been organized in 1963 under the Dhofar Liberation Front, led largely by Arab nationalists and religious conservatives who could enlist support of tribal shaykhs in a common struggle against Sultan Said ibn Taimur. | | | Placed in a regional context, Arab nationalism, the principal ideology of the 1950s and 1960s, indicted the conservative monarchs of the gulf and demanded their overthrow. | | | The Dhofar rebellion combined economic grievances with political ideology. |

| | Once collected at Dhofar, in the old days the frankincense had to be either carried overland by long and incredibly arduous journeys, or the initial part of the export procedure could be undertaken by sea. | | | This frankincense was used in staggering quantities - according to ancient documents, the annual consumption of incense in the temple of Baal at Babylon was 2½ tons. | | | The focal point of Dhofar's history was the frankincense trade which flourished for centuries. |

| | Initially, frustrated DLF insurgents were supported by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq, but with the time a strong Sino-Communist influence was to have established itself, and even those tribesmen willing to cease fighting were firmly discouraged from doing so. | | | Arab claims about the success of this operation were slightly more enthusiastic: according to radio Baghdad 49 British soldiers were killed and one “RAF Hunter shot down”. | | | Dhofar had a population of only some 40.000 at the time (out of a total of 750.000 Omanis), and the revolutionary movement received considerable support from the locals aggrieved by their poor living conditions: the country was at the time still living in the 14th Century. |
