Common card · No. 470544

The Popular Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arabian Gulf (PFLOAG), later renamed to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman and the Arabian Gulf, was a revolutionary Marxist–Leninist organization that operated in Dhofar and the Persian Gulf from 1968 to 1974. Formed as the successor to the Dhofar Liberation Front (DLF) during the Hamrin Congress of 1968, the organization was active in armed struggle against the monarchies of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, culminating in the Dhofar Rebellion against the Sultanate of Oman. PFLOAG's goal was the establishment of an Arab socialist state in the Gulf region through the strategy of fighting a people's war. Through its commitment to scientific socialism, the organization implemented social reforms in its "liberated areas," including the promotion of women's rights and the abolition of tribal structures. It was rebranded to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman (PFLO) in 1974.
