Naming his successor, what unique step did Qaboos take to ensure smooth transition?
"Announcement in Public Speech"
"Revealed in a Television Interview"
"Published in a local Newspaper"
"Hid a Letter with the Successor's Name
Answer
Qaboos took the unique step of hiding a letter with the successor's name to ensure a smooth transition after his death. This is because there was no clear line of succession in Oman, and he wanted to avoid a power struggle after his death. The letter was only to be opened after his death, and the person named in the letter would become the new sultan.
