Oman And The Middle East Stratum

Khuzestan is an oil rich region in the southwestern Iran, which is highly populated with Arabs who are culturally ethnically different from the Persians. The inhabitants of the region also call it “Arabistan”. Khuzestan is the primary source of the Iran’s wealth and power because of its oil resources. The region is very important for Iran; Iran would be powerless country in the Middle East without Khuzestan’s oil.

Often called “The Crossroads of the World”, the Middle East stands between three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe. Over thousands of years, migrating traders and conquerors crossed this region and spread the ideas, inventions, and achievements of many civilizations. It is an incredibly important part of the world with rich history, important resources, and deep religious and cultural traditions. However, in the past decades up to today, the Middle East has been consumed by conflict and chaos. Although different circumstances surround each issue, religion, terrorism, disputes over the control of natural resources, and weak governance primarily allow conflict to persist in the Middle East.

For the United States, the Gulf region remains one of the most geo-strategically important locations in the world for diplomatic, intelligence cooperation, and business opportunities such as hydrocarbons and arms. This strategic cooperation has provided the region some stability, particularly with the rise of Iran and the Shi’a crescent and the chaotic outcome of the war in Iraq. The council members have also relied on the United State to fend off some of the domestic challenges to the existing regimes that are both internally and regionally rooted.

We touched down in Aden this morning and I have found it so far to be a bustling coastal city which has more similarities to home then I thought it would be. The things I’ve seen through the media paint the middle east as a worn torn area full of only crumbling buildings and dry farmland. Flying above this city I honestly thought I could be somewhere along the Californian coast or somewhere like that. I’m sure that there are areas like (that which I will see when I am out in the field), and that they make up a majority of the country but it reminded me of how much of what we see and hear about the Arab world is negative and we are rarely subject to the beauty and the other positives contained in this part of the world. I start at the hospital tomorrow and am out in the field next week so I am sure I will have more to say about this so far beautiful country

Afghanistan, a country landlocked in the middle east. A key trade route to and from Asia, It has been fought over since the first traders traveled from their homelands following the Silk Roads. There first were tribes that squabbled over petty territory and game but then they started to learn and grow and become more organized. Soon all of them became united under the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th Century, but shortly after they became embroiled in war again after the death of the prophet and who should be the next heir of his position. Then the foreigners came, and realising the necessity for cohesion to protect themselves. A new sense of nationalism arose and they finally united under one barrier. But that banner was too good

In conclusion, “Human beings are more alike than unalike, and what is true anywhere is true everywhere . . .” There is no doubt that the work of modern-day leaders is complicated around the world. And this research shows that the challenges these diverse leaders face at Omantel are more similar than different from challenges leaders face around the world. Even though Omantel leaders may feel alone with the problems and challenges they have, it is likely that one leader’s challenge is the same as others several time zones away.

The Middle East has recently been the topic of many news sources as there is so much uncertainty in the region today. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria are all having problems and they continue to worry the outside world. Saudi Arabia has recently put King Salman in power, following the death of his half-brother, and with the current economy in the Middle East, a state that possess so much influence in an already unstable region, to become unstable in itself may cause significant catastrophes (Botelho). Yemen is also in turmoil with its own current problems. “[The United States] does not even know who is in charge right now. We know that rebels have moved in, they have exerted tremendous influence, and we can’t say exactly who will be in charge there in the future” (Botelho). With rebels moving in, the United States also fears of the fact that Yemen has been known as a source of terrorism (Botelho). Along with the other problems, in 2011, President Obama’s agenda was enforced and the United States pulled all troops

In the middle kingdom, there was a small village called____. This village was famous for having colossal mountain called_____. The mountain was very lavished with a rich ecosystem that include many unknown animals to mankind, and on top of the mountain there was an ancient monk that had been told to give people the power of the “superior person” or Junzi. Once every 1000th lunar moon, he hurries to the village to pick a family to have a chance to be Junzi. On one lunar moon the ancient monk came down and picked the Xang family. The Xang family had built a bad reputation within the village. Luckily, they’re a wealthy family that had built their fortunes from their money that had built up for many generations. The wealthy family had four sons. The monk wanted to see if one of the four sons can bring back the honor to their family. The old monk told the family that the four sons must come on top of the mountain and bring a part of strength, part of wisdom, and a part of courage. These parts will show the characteristics that a Junzi must have to obtain the title Junzi. With the title one can bring back the lost honor back to the family and the son will become Junzi. Each part must be given on top of the mountain at dusk by tomorrow. After the monk told the family about the request, the ancient monk returned to the top of the mountain. The sons stayed up all night thinking what to take to the old monk. While the older sibling thought of the items, the youngest son

Conflict over energy resources—and the wealth and power they create—has become an increasingly prominent feature for geopolitics particularly in the Middle East . The discovery of oil in the late nineteenth century added a dimension to the region as major outside states powers employed military force to protect their newly acquired interests in the Middle East. The U.S.’s efforts to secure the flow of oil have led to ever increasing involvement in the Middle East region’s political affairs and ongoing power struggles. By the end of the twentieth century, safeguarding the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf had become one of the most important functions of the U.S. military establishment. The close relationship between the United States and the Saudi royal family was formed in the final months of World War II, when U.S. leaders sought to ensure preferential access to Saudi petroleum. The U.S. link with Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region has demonstrated to be greatly beneficial to both parties, yet it has also led to ever deepening U.S. involvement in regional politics.

The land across Israel contains mountains and plains, fertile land, and deserts which are located just minutes apart. Israel divides into three main regions lengthwise the coastal plain, the mountain region, and the Jordan Valley Rift.

Some examples of prominent ex-Nazi members who escaped to the middle east are as follows. Franz Rademacher was a Nazi aide under Secretary of state Luther. Rademacher fled to Spain and then Damascus, Syria where he worked in foreign trade. Walter Rauff was responsible for the development of mobile gas vans. Fled to Damascus in 1947, and worked over 47 ex-Nazis to reorganize Syrian intelligence. A third example is Alois Brunner. Brunner was Eichmann’s right hand man and was responsible for the deportation and death of 100,000 European Jew’s. After being sentenced to death by a French tribunal, Brunner escaped to Egypt, and then on the advice of Al-Husaini went to Syria, where he worked for Syrian intelligence. Brunner lives to this day in Syria, under the protection of around the clock Syrian body guards.

The Middle East is far from monumental and homogenous. Its differences have been a source of both strength and inspiration. The most visible, most pervasive, and the least recognized aspects of

Yemen a great desert in the Arabic peninsula , located south to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and left to Oman , has also a shore : mainly on the Red Sea and on the Gulf of Aden. Yemen has some natural resources (oil) but unfortunately it is considered as the poorest Arabic country. Yemen is now The Republic of Yemen because of the reunification made on 22nd May 1990. Before that day Yemen was divided into two separate countries , the first known as the North Yemen Republic which was controlled by tribes so far the worst tribal system in the world , on the other side , the Yemen of the South known as the world’s worst communist regime. But in 1994 , a civil war turned the south and the north against each other. We are going to study this

The part of the Middle East being discussed involves the following: Iraq, Transjordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. All of which were directly impacted by the borders which were set up by European countries in the early 20th century. The borders had benefits of course, but they also brought with them quite a few problems. While the Middle Eastern borders are important to dividing that part of the world into different countries, the borders seem to have brought with them a lot of problems that the people living in this part of the world have had to deal with. There are multiple factors involved with this topic, including a few treaties, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and the start of World War I. The different treaties were the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration, both of which involved European countries deciding the future of these countries. All of these factors had a direct impact on the Middle East and had a lasting effect on the people who live in this area of the world.
