By addicting them to sugar cubes, and then constructing a simple trap in which the faster primate is caught by the smarter (human) primate, who knows that a sugar-addicted monkey will lose his freedom forever rather than kissing a sugar cube grasped in a closed fist goodbye--even when opening that fist would make for an easy escape. OMAR asks the question haunting the Middle East for decades: "Who is the monkey?" From the perspective of this flick, at least, everyone over there is "the monkey." The most devious main character in this story gets ALL the sugar, while it's curtains for the rest of them. OMAR's lesson is that you can survive in a trouble zone if you're an unprincipled back-stabber. On the other hand, if you have any moral standards at all, they'll surely bring you to an early grave in the troubled Middle East. Many previous films prove this state of affairs also prevailed during "The Troubles" in Ireland, as well as in Civil War America, and countless other conflict sectors. OMAR's best survival tip: Move to New Zealand. (Hobbits are friendlier than people.)
