I suggest that I address a letter to His
Highness the Shaikh of Bahrain informing him of the alle
gation of the Shaikh of Qatar and asking him if he can
explain how this could have occurred. I feel that the
answer that will be given by the Bahrain Government will
probably be to the effect that the Shaikh of Qatar has
been making war on the tribesmen of His Highness the
Ruler of Bahrain and that the arms that they had in their
possession would naturally bear the Bahrain Government
stamp as they were given to them as Bahrain subjects well
before there were hostilities between the Nairn and the
Ruler of Qatar.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence regarding the situation after hostilities that occurred between the Al Naim tribe (supported by Bahrain) and Qatar in Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. in June and July 1937.
The correspondence covers the period immediately following the events and continues for several years until 1946. It contains details of British mediation efforts between the two sides and also includes the text (in English and Arabic) of a reconciliation agreement between the two sides from 1944.
The file also contains a translation of an Arabic-language letter published in the Cairo publication 'Rabitat Al Arabieh' (f. 25). The letter is from a Bahraini and argues that the British had sided with Qatar in the conflict regarding Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as they were afraid that if under Bahraini control, the concession for oil deposits near the town would be given to an American (as opposed to British) oil company as had been done in Bahrain.
