persuasion, he decided to discuss the matter of the
Na T im. He admitted that he had sheltered the Bamazin
section and that he had decided to put down smuggling
through Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and the villages to the north, and that
in order to carry out this purpose he had sent Ramazan
and a party of other people to stop smuggling. They
were not sent to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. . He claimed that the Na^im

entitled to tax them if he wished. He was very mch

flag at Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and landed three soldiers and material.
He stated that he and Shaikh Hamad were as brothers and
that he had no quarrel with Shaikh Hamad. Eventually
he assured me that he had not armed any of his people
and had no intention of doing sOjand that there would
be perfect security throughout his country from now on
wards and that the Na'im were at liberty to depart to
their normal places without fear of any interference
from him or his people until such time as the Resident

About this item

Content

This file contains correspondence related to tensions between Bahrain (and the Al Naim tribe) and Qatar concerning the ownership of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. on the Qatar peninsula that took place between March and June 1937.

At this time, the Al Naim tribe were 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 mediated between the two sides. The file contains extensive details of this mediation process.
