Turki bin Said

Turki was born in 1832 to Sultan Said bin Sultan and an Ethiopian concubine. His father appointed him the Wali of Sohar in 1854. In 1861, he revolted against his brother, Thuwaini bin Said, who had succeeded his father as Sultan of Oman. The division of Muscat and Zanzibar meant that Sohar would be under the authority of Thuwaini which Turki refused to accept. He was imprisoned and Salim bin Thuwaini was appointed as the new Wali of Sohar. The British authorities intervened and Turki was released from prison in 1862. After Salim killed his father and took the throne in 1866, Turki was again imprisoned and subsequently released due to British intervention. He was given an annuity of 7,200 thalers and moved to Bombay in British India. ==Issue==
