Arab disenfranchisement with Gulf rulers has spread to a strategic oil tanker route located through the Straight of Hormouz where about 40 per cent of the world’s oil tanker traffic passes.

The formerly tranquil Gulf Arab State of Oman saw pro-democracy demonstrators and riot police embattled in a deadly clash February 26 with at least two people reported killed and many wounded in the industrial port town of Sohar.
