No.55. (R),
On June 23rd an Akhwan raiding party five to
seven hundred strong led by Ibn Ashwan and Ibn
Busaiyia and made up of Mutair (Braih) and Shamar
(Shujara) and Harb raided the Dhafir near Naba thirty
five miles south-west of Naairiyah and about one
hundred miles within Irak territory. Raiders took all
herds of camels belonging to over two hundred tents,
number taken being estimated at about two thousand.
ybu should protest to Ibn Saud and demand
immediate return of all loot, pointing out that as
the Irak government have for several weeks past been
herding refugees northwards so as to make raiding by
them impossible, Ibn Saud can not advance his old
excuse of provocation by refugees in this case.
Similar instructions have been sent to
Resident at Bushire.
About this item
- Content
The volume contains letters, telegrams, and memoranda relating to affairs between the British Mandate of Iraq and The Kingdom of Najd and the Hejaz, ruled by Ibn Sa'ud. Most of the correspondence is between the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial Office in London, the Government of India, Ibn Sa'ud himself and his delegates.
The majority of the volume is concerned with cross-border raids and counter raids between Iraq and Najd and efforts to put a stop to them. With the British attempting to mediate, the raids were carried out by the Ikhwan and tribal groups in Iraqi and Kuwaiti territory, including sections of the 'Ajman, Mutayr, Shammar, Awazim, 'Utaibah, Harb, and Dahamshah tribes. The documents reflect the divergent opinions among British officials on what British policy should be in the region as well as the inadequacies of the borders as they were defined. The volume ends with efforts to set up a tribunal to settle claims of compensation between the two governments as stipulated in the Bahra Agreement.
