>>18347740The two sons spilt power, one was based in zanzibar, the other one in muscat. In fact that after the zanzibar revolution in the 1960s, the last sultan of the island wasn't even allowed back in oman and lived in the UK until he was finally allowed back to Oman under the new government in 2020. Swahili became the kind of lingua franca it is today in part thanks to the Omani.
