Résumé

Based mainly on documentation from Lisbon archival centres.
Abstract: between 1650 and 1698, some Swahili cities or factions saw the emerging Omani power as an ally to back their struggle against Portuguese imperialism; Oman was a trading partner in full expansion and, at the time, a source of political support. However, after 1698, when the Swahili Coast had come under Omani control, a strong resentment spread against the new occupying force which was accused, as were the Portuguese, of threatening the political and economic independence of the Swahili city-states.
