Tweets from yesterday mentioning Yusif bin Alawi, the Omani Minister for Foreign Affairs. You can quite clearly see a division between the large network on the left (mostly Saudi influencers and Omani opposition emphasising criticism of bin Alawi) and the group on the right
a mixture of commentators either debunking the claim or questioning why it was released now. What's interesting again on the left is the fact @Adhwan - the Editor-in-Chief of @IndyArabia is important in spreading the story. The recording, which appears to feature one of Gaddafi's
diatribes is hardly revealing. In fact, in the 16 minutes, Bin Alawi only utters around 435 words. It is mostly Gaddafi talking but I doubt many have actually listened to the whole thing. It seems to be argued that someone is trying to scupper negotiations involving Oman to
end the Gulf Crisis. More curiously, interesting to see that the British newspaper (now part-Saudi-owned) @IndyArabia is being used again to participate in this strategic leaking of information. Interesting from a communication and IR perspective
