On 20 February 2011, protesters welcomed a move by the government to increase the minimum wage.〔Al Jazeera. Headlines.〕 The wage increase targets Omani workers in the private sector. Public sector Omani employees have received wage increases in the past, but the private sector was so far overlooked. The Government of Oman raised minimum wages for an estimated 150,000 private sector employees to $520 from $364 a month. As protests continued in Sohar the demands were still jobs and political reforms.〔 The protesters also want more jobs, freedom of expression, less government control over the media,〔 political reforms, better living conditions, an abolition of taxes and the trial of all ministers.〔 Protesters in Muscat also demanded cabinet ministers not serve more than four years. In several other protests, Omanis furthered their demands by calling for a reduction of foreign workers in order to provide more jobs for Omani citizens by private companies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2011 Omani protests」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
