Dozens of protesters angry over firings and the poor economy of Oman marched through a major city Tuesday, marking a third day of demonstrations in the typically subdued sultanate.
The protests took place in Sohar, a city some 200 kilometres (125 miles) northwest of the capital, Muscat, which has become a flashpoint for the demonstrations.
Videos on social media showed protesters gathered by an underpass and a long line of riot police. The images corresponded to known landmarks around Sohar, the first major city people enter in the sultanate after crossing the border from neighboring United Arab Emirates.
