Colonel Sir Hugh Richard Deare Oldman KBE, MC was a British Army officer who later served as Secretary for Defence of the Sultanate of Oman. He was one of the major participants in the coup d'état in July 1970 that brought Sultan Qaboos to the throne of Oman. He also played first-class cricket in Pakistan.
The 1970 Omani coup d'état was the overthrow of Sultan of Oman Said bin Taimur by his son Qaboos bin Said in Oman on 23 July 1970. Occurring in the midst of the Dhofar War, the palace coup was executed with the British and saw Sultan Said bin Taimur deposed and sent into exile to the United Kingdom. The coup was a pivotal moment in modern Omani history as Qaboos swiftly set in motion numerous wide-ranging modernisation reforms in the kingdom, transforming Oman from an underdeveloped backwater into a country on par with many Western states in terms of political stability and economic development. At the time of his death in January 2020, Sultan Qaboos was the longest-serving ruler in the Middle East.
Sayyid Asa'ad bin Tariq Al Said is a member of the Omani royal family and the Deputy Prime Minister for Relations and International Cooperation Affairs.
