MUSCAT - Sultan Haitham bin Tariq moved quickly in response to young protesters demanding work and ordered the implementation of a plan to employ more than 32,000 jobless youths, despite the difficult economic conditions Oman is going through as a result of the pandemic and the decline in state revenues with the fall of oil prices.
Omani analysts told The Arab Weekly that Sultan Haitham moved faster than all the state agencies that are supposed to handle the issues at hand.
