Dhofar Liberation Front (DLF) (Arabic: جبهة تحرير ظفار) was a communist front that was established to create a separatist state in Dhofar, the southern province of Oman, which shared a border with South Yemen.[1]
The DLF was established by communist (Marxist–Leninist)[2] youth in Salalah in 1965. Its main aim was to secure funding for the development of the area[3] and to end the rule of the Sultan of Muscat and Oman (Said bin Taimur).[4]
The two leadership characters that would be at the core of the front's short history were Musallam bin Nufl and Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah.[5][6]
They, being supported by South Yemen, fought a 10-year insurgency against the Sultan of Muscat and Oman's Armed Forces.[4] The Sultanate Army, supported by Iran and the United Kingdom, managed to remove the DLF and to push its forces towards the border of Yemen and the mountains in 1976.
