The last heir to the Ottoman Empire, who ruled over three continents, Dandar Abdel Karim Osman Olu, died at the age of 90 in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
Orhan Usman Olu, a member of the royal family, said in a tweet that his uncle and heir to the Ottoman Empire, Dandar Abdul Karim Usman Olu, died in Damascus on January 19, 2021, at the age of 90.
According to the Turkish daily Sabah, when the royal family was deported from Turkey after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the family of Dandar Abdul Karim Usman moved to Damascus. He was born there in 1924.
Dandar Abdul Karim Usman was ill for a long time and was undergoing treatment in Damascus. His family tried to transfer him to Turkey for treatment but due to the civil war situation they could not succeed.
Dandar Abdul Karim Usman was the great grandson of the last powerful Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Abdul Hamid II, and the grandson of the Sultan's son Muhammad Saleem Affandi As the most senior member of the family, he became the head of the family when Usman Bayazid died in 2017. Usman Bayazid was the son of Sultan Abdul Majeed I.

It should be noted that after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1924, the heirs of the Ottoman family were deported worldwide, but in 1952 the women of the family were allowed to return to Turkey, while the men were granted permission in 1974. ۔
Despite being allowed to return to Turkey, only a few members of the royal family returned, as most had begun their new lives. Osman Olu's father, Mohamed Abdel Karim Afandi, was camping in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, but later moved to Damascus, where he died in 1935.
After Usman Olu's death, his 88-year-old brother Harun will be the new head of the royal family. Haroon Osman Olu returned to Turkey in 1974 and is currently living in Istanbul.
