f° 28: The danger threatening Oman from Ihn Saud was discussed. and there is little doubt that Sulaiman el Baruni, the Tripoli agitator, who was spending the hot weather with Isa bin Saleh, took a leading part in the deliberations. This Sulaiman el Raruni has given both the French and the Italians a great deal of trouble in past years, and was in fact detained as a political detenu by the French in Paris until about 18 months ago. As he was not permitted by either of these Governments to go back to any place on the Mediterranean seaboard of Africa he came to Arabia, visited Mecca, and then came on to Mascat. He is religious leader of the Ibadhi persuasion, which sect is strongest in Oman. During his stay at Muscat llis Highness decorated him with the Order of Sayidiya. The result of the deliberations was that it was decided to weld together the Omani tribes against Ibn Saud and to force those tribes suspected of Wahabi leanings, and therefore of friendliness to Ibn Saud, to comply with the wishes of the majority of the Oman tribes.
f° 29-30 : 1927 : The Imam formed a council of four officials in Nezwa. Included was Sulaiman Baruni.
