Only in Dhofar, lol. Ok… so it is not funny at all but….. sheesh. They sell grass in oman these days, so it isn’t the issue it would have been 200 years ago, c’mon people. Not worth biting bullets over for sure.
Ok, so I do still find it funny. I must be a bad person.
Yes, it is “so not funny at all” but it is rather BIZARRE! Of course as in most family or tribal conflicts there must be a whole lot more going on behind the story.
MOP said people actually died in this grazing incident. Including an ROP officer (two got wounded trying to break it up but I am sure MOP is wrong about the ROP guy dying).
I hope he’s wrong about the ROP officer dying and any of the people involved as well! It seems so senseless.
