This is a thought I had while discussing the silent September with an fellow shareholder:

These riots possibly affect all current business done between the Middle East and America. It creates uncertainty, fear, and could possibly delay business close to being finalized. With the pace of their culture, I can see this stopping deals from being finished until these problems are solved. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if in the 10-Q there was a statement that told us these riots delayed business in Oman.

Kirachi, Pakistan is a coastal city with one of the more violent protests. I could understand the uneasiness of the MOT to do business about a tourist attraction when the city across the sea is staging a deadly riot with 15 dead and reported 100 injured.
