Dhofar Liberation Front (DLF) (
The DLF was established by communist (Marxist–Leninist)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.
