Muscat - Emirates Voice
A sick Omani citizen is being flown home from China by the Royal Air Force, the Ministry of Defence has announced.
The Royal Air Force of Oman has dispatched a plane today morning to the People’s Republic of China to transport an Omani citizen who is in the country. The citizen had underwent surgery, which unfortunately resulted with the patient falling into in a coma.
He was not able to fly by commercial air plane due to his condition, and the Ministry of Defense said that the absence of other means of transport to return to the Sultanate is what prompted their action.
“This dispatch is on the basis of the care and attention paid by the Government of His Majesty Sultan bin Qaboos bin Said to the people of this dear country.”
“This comes under the framework of services that the Ministry of Defence, and the Sultan’s armed forces provide for the citizens and residents of the homeland,” the statement added.
The flight is expected to return with the citizen on Saturday.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
