Career

Royal Oman Police

Al Ma'amari was the personal bodyguard of the Sultan Qaboos bin Said in the 1980s and a close aide.^[1] A CIA document in March 1985 characterized him as a nationalist with close influence with Qaboos.^[2] He was also the Chairman of the National Committee for Civil Defence (NCCD).^[3]

On 15 March 2010, Al Ma'amari was dismissed by Qaboos bin Said during the 2011 Oman protests. His dismissal was though to have stemmed from a failure to contain police forces that fired bullets into a stone throwing crowd on 27 February 2010 which killed one protester in Sohar. He was replaced by Hassan bin Mohsin Al Shraiqi.^[1]
