A CALL FOR FREEDOM

I’m an Omani national who is misfortunate enough to read your newspaper, which misleadingly carries the name “Times of Oman”.
Let me ask you. What is your ultimate goal? What is your newspaper trying to promote? Have you ever stopped to think, what effects does your articles have on the public both locally and wherever this newspaper is read abroad? While the entire country is suffering from excessive number of Asian expatriates who contaminate our countries air, land and sea with their presence, you, an “Omani” newspaper, are promoting their misfortunes and the hardship faced by them at the hands of brutal and inhuman Omani sponsors when coming to this country, and wondering whether those who have been illegally living here and who are being given amnesty to leave the country in peace, will be given a 2 year’s ban or will they be able to return to the country and restart the same cycle again!
Did you ever stop to THINK what would have happened of those “poor, moaning and unfortunate souls who complaint from the Omani sponsor’s brutality and inhumanity!!!!” had they remained in their own countries? Would they now be driving the latest BMWs and Mercedes’, living in centrally air-conditioned beach villas and unnecessarily traveling all around the world in first-class luxury? YOU TELL ME!!!
We, Omani citizens and government, have welcomed all expatriates who came to HELP us build our country. We have accepted them in our houses, companies, shops, fields and in our lives. We have allowed them to harvest and flourish on our country’s people and resources for decades now. They were brought in for a purpose, for which they are generously thanked and handsomely awarded.  
Now its time that they let the people of the country take the rein of their own country. But, is that happening in any way???? Instead, they created strong underground cartels, which specialize in strangling and choking every attempt by Omanis to take their rightful place in their country’s banks, corporations and industrial plants. Furthermore, they execute every attempt by Omani individuals (who dare to try starting their own small businesses) from their “Senior Positions” in the major corporations who hold agency rights to almost every single item that enters Oman. For example; any expatriate from the “sub-continent” who wishes to startup a small supermarket will be able to get almost everything on long credit periods, any Omani starting the same project will be asked to procure all stocks on CASH bases. The same scenario applies everywhere, even when seeking bank finance …. Call that “FAIR PLAY”.
Let me get something straight here. We are not against anybody. We only seek our rightful place in our own country. We did not take the trouble to go to anybody and harm him in HIS HOME. We remained in OUR HOMES, minding our OWN BUSINESSES, and only, only trying to hold on to what is OUR OWN. We are sick of the feeling of being strangers in our own country.
As for you the editor and other people responsible of “Times of Oman”, you’ll have to either look at things more unprejudicially and stop promoting the idea that “Omani sponsors are inhuman beings and that the Omani government does not keep the expatriate worker’s rights close to its heart”, or otherwise change your newspaper’s name to “Indian Times of Oman” or more appropriately “In humans of Oman”.
