ELI5: Why is Oman NEVER in the news?
gpt
Oman is reigned over by Sultan Qaboos who is British educated and very pro western, and as such is much less orthodox and more liberal towards westerners and it's people than most other Middle Eastern / Islamic countries.

Qaboos initiated several 5 year plans to bring the country into the 20th Century and is a very benevolent ruler to his people. However, there are problems within the Country , not least with tribal crime and issues with the immigrant labour used there, but it's not international headline news.

Yemen is kept in check by having a permanent military presence on the border comprising of SSF units and the RGO.
On the whole Oman keeps her nose clean, encourages and allows western investment, buys a lot of Western military gear and has a very close relationship with the USA and the UK, enough perhaps to ensure that should any extremeists from Yemen decide to pay a visit with their luggage in tow, they'll soon be heading back home.
