Iran, US to resume talks in Muscat on Sunday
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei confirmed the upcoming talks, stating that both sides would meet in Muscat for the sixth time, with Omani mediation continuing under the guidance of Foreign Minister H E Sayyid Badr al Busaidi. Three previous rounds were held in Muscat and two in Rome.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi, said Tehran was in the final stages of preparing its written response to a US proposal concerning Iran's nuclear programme.
'We are preparing the response, which has not yet been finalised,' Takht-e-Ravanchi told the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.
'Good work has been made on it, and we believe that the response we will provide will be reasonable. We hope it will be completed in the coming days and handed over to Oman's Foreign Minister so he can convey it to the Americans.'

MAGA's new target: Trump
People often become what they scorn. Donald Trump has become the deep state. He is the keeper of the secrets. He is the one stealing away people's liberties. He is the one weaponising government and protecting the ruling class. With Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Government Efficiency, Trump deputised wolf packs to root around in Americans' personal information. He got Republicans to give Stephen Miller his own army. Trump manipulates government to hurt his perceived enemies. He obscures rather than reveals, pushing aside reporters who ask penetrating questions in favour of Pravda-like partisans who take his side. Trump's supporters thought he would shed light on shady elites protecting their own money and power. Now MAGA is reckoning with the fact that Trump is the shady elite, shielding information about Jeffrey Epstein. 'So the guy who spent his lifetime saying the deep state hides things from you and represses you is now saying, 'We've got nothing to hide, trust me,'' said Trump biographer Tim O'Brien. 'And the people who follow him don't. They think he's just as bad as the people he criticised before he became president.' It's mythic, being devoured by the forces you unleashed. Trump has trafficked in conspiracy theories since the despicable 'birther' one about Barack Obama. Now that whirlpool of dark innuendo has sucked him down. He can no longer control the Epstein conspiracy madness inflamed by his top officials. Trump always reminded me of Lonesome Rhodes, a charismatic, populist entertainer whose 'candid' patter with plain folks garners him enormous power in Elia Kazan's 1957 movie, 'A Face in the Crowd.' At the finale, Andy Griffith's Rhodes — engorged by flattery and riches — has a narcissistic explosion. Trump's Truth Social posts backing up Pam Bondi's claim that the Epstein files were much ado about nothing showed that same brutal disregard for his devout fans. They had taken him seriously? What fools! He said that those who are focused on the 'Jeffrey Epstein hoax' are 'selfish people,' 'PAST supporters' and 'weaklings' who had been 'conned by the Lunatic Left.' If his fans couldn't focus on how great he was, better than 'perhaps any President in our Country's history,' Trump pouted in a post, 'I don't want their support anymore!' One 'gal,' a Texan named Rosie, said she was broken-hearted. She replied on Truth Social that she has four daughters and 'can't even begin to comprehend the flipped narrative that 'it was so long ago' 'why are we still talking about this' and 'nobody should care.' These victims were some ones daughters, sisters, nieces, granddaughter. Someone's child. Please reconsider, sir.' Trump bonded with Epstein years ago, although it's not clear if Trump knew the extent of Epstein's predations. Trump, who rose to power with the help of Fox News, threatened Emma Tucker, editor of Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, trying to stop its story about a letter and drawing he allegedly contributed to a 50th birthday book that Ghislaine Maxwell compiled for Epstein. On Thursday, Trump posted that he had asked Bondi to produce 'any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval.' But judges usually keep such testimony secret. It was hilarious to see Trump hiding behind the judiciary he has tried to sideline. Natalie Winters, a reporter for Steve Bannon's 'War Room' podcast, told Bannon that the Journal story made her feel 'gaslit' by the administration. 'I thought the DOJ had nothing related to Epstein,' she said. 'Well, this story sort of contradicts that. So why don't we release it? It's maddening.' Twisting conspiracy theories into a Gordian knot of hate, Trump is claiming some Epstein files were 'made up' by Barack Obama, James Comey, 'Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration' and 'Crooked Hillary.' It's tough to blame the deep state when you are the deep state. — The New York Times

Migrants freed from El Salvador reach Venezuela
MAIQUETIA: Hundreds of Venezuelans swept up in President Donald Trump's immigration dragnet reached home after their release from a maximum security Salvadoran jail as part of a prisoner swap with the United States. The 252 men were accused of being gang members and flown to the notorious CECOT "anti-terror" jail in March. There, they were shackled, shorn and paraded before cameras — becoming emblematic of Trump's immigration crackdown and drawing howls of protest. On Friday, after months of legal challenges and political stonewalling, the men arrived at an airport near Caracas, with several walking down the steps with their arms raised and one even kissing the tarmac. The Trump administration said they were released in exchange for 10 Americans or US residents held in Venezuela, and "political prisoners," who number 80, according to El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. The migrants' return to Venezuela sparked tearful celebrations among family members who had heard nothing from them in months. The Americans and US residents released in Venezuela were taken to San Salvador on their way to the United States. — AFP

Employment: policies, progress, and prospects
Oman is currently going through an extensive national transformation as outlined in Vision 2040 which seeks to diversify the economy, reduce reliance on hydrocarbons, and promote sustainable development. One of the most defining features of this transformation is the integrated framework designed around the strategic goal of generating employment opportunities for nationals and increasing local content in all economic activities. Oman's development agenda also places critical importance on 'local content', which can broadly be referred to as the value added of the workforce, goods, and services employed in a specific industry. It is my intention in this article to examine the evolving landscape of employment in Oman, local content policies and laws, sectoral performance, the role of SMEs, skill development programs, as well as the impending challenges and prospects of the economic transformation. Oman's inclusive economic resilience vision is being supported by government programs and hard data, and this is what the paper seeks to present. NATIONAL LOCAL CONTENT POLICY (2024-2030) In 2024 the council of ministers approved the national local content policy (2024-2030) as a guiding document aimed at embedding Omani goods, services, and labor into the economy. Maximising the in-country value (ICV) generated from public and private sector investments is one of the main objectives under the policy. It also supports Oman Vision 2040 on economic diversification, social inclusion, and sustainability. The policy is built on four strategic pillars: • Supply Chain Development: Sponsoring local Omanis by both the government and private sectors as suppliers and contractors. • Workforce Development: Equipping Omanis through strategic educational programs, vocational trainings, and practical job placements. • Innovation and Technology Transfer: Improving the national capabilities through partnering in R&D and knowledge transfer as well as through licensing. • Entrepreneurship and SME Participation: Supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through finance, mentorship, and contract allocation. The policy requires the ministries and large corporations to embed the ICV framework into their tendering processes. This also includes provisions for workforce, procurement from Omani suppliers, and local subcontractor employment. To foster sustainable job creation, Oman has established targeted Omanisation goals tailored to particular sectors. OMANISATION STRATEGY Legal Changes: To boost Omanis' employment opportunities, the country introduced several new labor laws and ministerial decrees. The most impactful include: • Labour Law No. 53/2023: Introduces new rules on employment contracts, termination, and conflict resolution. • Ministerial Decree No. 501/2024: Broadened the scope of occupations reserved for Omanis and added fines for breaches. • Workforce Localisation Plans: Companies must file annual plans detailing the number of Omanis employed (or to be employed), their distribution by gender, salary, training, and outlined promotion pathways. Non-licenced firms may be penalised with fines, restricted expatriate hiring, or barred from public tenders. Omanisation Sector Goals: To foster sustainable job creation, Oman has established targeted Omanisation goals tailored to particular sectors. These depend on the strategic value and labor intensity of each sector: Banking & Insurance (60-70%), Manufacturing (35-40%), Retail/Wholesale (20-25%), Oil & Gas (40-50%), Tourism & Hospitality (30-35%), and Construction (15-20%). These benchmarks are met through mandatory quotas, regular audits, and integration into the licensing and visa issuance processes. The private sector is the backbone of Oman's economy, with a workforce of more than 1.7 million. Nevertheless, the share of Omanis working in it is very small in proportion to foreign workers. Employment in the Public Sector: As noted earlier, the public sector continues to be the biggest employer of Omanis, with more than 90 per cent coming from the local population out of a total of 195,902 employees. Focused on increasing the number of Omanis in the private sector, the government has also implemented new policies and training initiatives directed at the sector. LOCALLY DEVELOPED CONTENT AND RESULTS Key Initiatives: A number of local content initiatives have been started at the national level to achieve the intended objectives: • Majd Programme: Launched in 2024 by the Ministry of Energy & Minerals, this initiative mandates that 10-30% of contract value in the energy sector be allocated to Omani companies and SMEs. 12 contracts amounting to 172.5 million USD were granted in the first phase. • Taseen and Itqan Programs: These industrial development initiatives are aimed at decreasing the volume of imports, increasing local production, and advancing research and development activities. They also promote partnerships between local companies and foreign technology partners. Economic and Employment Impact: The economic impact of local content policies is visible on a much wider scale. • More than $33 billion has been injected into the local economy as from 2013 • Over 3000 direct employment opportunities in the private sector • Around 100 industrial facilities established with total investments of $400 million SME Participation in Local Content Small and medium enterprises are a cornerstone of Oman's local content strategy. The government has put in place systems such as Riyada and Esnad that enable SMEs access to government contracts, training opportunities, and funding options. Oman has committed itself to develop an education and training ecosystem that cultivates market-oriented skills among its youth. • Technical and Vocational Education & Training (TVET): Offers diploma and certificate courses in engineering, electronics, mechanics, and logistics. • Public-Private Collaboration: Employers work with polytechnics and schools to align course content with workplace expectations. • STEM and Digital Skills: Coding, AI, and renewable energy are national priorities. • Mandatory Training Plans: Expat employment mandates carry with them legal obligations to train Omanis for the role. SCULPTING VALUE AND PROFIT: • Value Retention: Offsetting capital outflows through local production and procurement. • Job Creation: Thousands of jobs created predominantly among women and youth. • SME Empowerment: Entrepreneurial opportunities from greater access to tenders. • Innovation: National competitiveness is enhanced through incentivised R&D and technology transfer. FURTHER ISSUES AND CONCERNS: Despite these developments, the following issues are still a concern: • Skill Gaps: Graduates not being able to fill available roles due to a lack of essential skills. • Compliance vs. Performance: Meeting quotas doesn't always result in hiring the best qualified candidates. • Misuse of SME Benefits: Larger companies registering as shell SMEs for contract access. • Investor Uncertainty: New companies might have problems with employment demands before they become profitable. • Expat Displacement: Rapid Omanisation may exacerbate the shortage of specialists in certain fields. CONCLUSION Oman is undergoing a tremendous shift within its socio-economic framework. With a blend of policy structural adjustments, strategic planning, inter-agency collaboration, and targeted investment, the country is working towards achieving an independent and more equitable economy. Moving forward, a perpetual fine-tuning towards prioritisation and market forces will be necessary, however, everything is now set. While policy is yet to be converted into action, Oman has excellent opportunities to realise its benefits and safeguard the welfare of its citisens as the Vision 2040 promises.
