Statement of Juma'h al Cha f bi who is lying in the
hospital under treatment.
On Sunday the 26th June 1937 I left my conpanions
who were camping at Al Thaghb and proceeded alone on foot
to Akhday to bring my family back to Al Thaghb where 100
men of my conpanions of the Chibisha tribe were camping
at a Fort built recently by us when the i&ibarah trouble
broke out, IBhen there was 15 minutes* walk (about 1
mile) to reach Akhday, three cavalry men of Shaikh
Abdullah bin Qasim's army overtook me and asked me to
throw my gun and go with them to Shaikh Abdullah. As
I refused to do so they fired at me but the shots missed
me. Then one of them dismounted and fired a shot at me
which hit me on icy right shoulder. I tried to fire back
at him but failed owing to thw wound I sustained. I at
once picked up my gun and ran back to Al Thaghb to my
companions whom I asked to take me to Rahid al Jabur
who was at Lishah. They did so and from Lisha I was
brought to Bahrain and amijtted in the Hospital®
All the inhabitants ofxAtaSkag&M Akhday are the
followers of Al Khalifah and also the Thaghb.

About this item
- Content
File contains correspondence related to hostilities that occurred between the forces of Shaikh Abdullah bin Qassim Al Thani of Qatar and the Al Naim tribe that took place in June and July 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe was allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and did not intervene on their behalf. Hostilities ended in July 1937 and Shaikh Rashid bin Muhammad, Chief of the Al Naim tribe, agreed to recognise the rule of the Al Thani family over Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. .
The file also contains a map of Qatar (folio 164) and four aerial photographs of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. (folios 160-163).
