Ghalib al-Hinai

Ghalib al-Hinai was the last elected Imam of the Imamate of Oman, serving from 1954 to 1959. He played a significant role in the Jebel Akhdar War, leading the Imamate's forces against Sultan Said Bin Taimur, backed by the British government. His leadership during this period was marked by his efforts to maintain the independence of the Imamate against external influences. After his tenure as Imam, he lived a life away from the public eye until his death in 2009.
