Tomorrow the PhD comps exams rollercoaster begins its very slow descend 🎢, so I'll stay away from my phone and social media until the end of Oct 16th. It will be an interesting scientific experiment on how productive a human can be during this lunacy✌

الكتابات حول تاريخ الصلات العمانية بشرق أفريقيا مازال في أغلبه يدور في فلك السلطة والسياسة بمناهج تقليدية وسرد أشبه بالحوليات القروسطية المضجرة بينما الجوانب الإجتماعية والمؤسسات لم تنل ما تستحق. كمثال مسجد بني #رواحة في #زنجبار والذي كان مركزا علميا واجتماعيا شيخه حمود #الخليلي.

To Ph.D. students, avoid this at any cost, it will come back to bite you later: corrupt files, and disorganized terabytes of files. Invest in an organized cloud early on, it's worth it!

Gulf historiography is still under the curse/spell of the India Office Records. De-IOR the Gulf!! It's not only an archival convenient excuse but also devaluing local knowledge and avoiding alternative sources and methodologies that were developed for parallel parts of the world!

As researchers on Gulf politics and history, we are often told that there are no local archives (& sometimes that there is no such thing as civil society in the Gulf), but sources like Sawt al-Bahrain, though not archives per say, show how such claims are flawed

بقايا مقبرة اليهود في صحار. النقش العبري يقول "ابرهم" أي ابراهيم. هناك مقبرة يهودية في عدن كذلك وتعود للقرن العاشر الميلادي، وكانت هناك علاقات بينهم وبين يهود عمان كما تدل وثيقة وجدتها، ويهود عدن وثق تاريخهم كذلك بوثائق الجنيزا في القاهرة. حيث انهم كانوا من تجار التوابل الهندية.
