word regarding ('atar, which has been a running sore for a
long time, 1 said that if he would let me, I wished to
discuss Qatar with him without, however, raising any question
of Bahrain's rights in Zubara, regarding which 1 believe he
felt strongly and of which 1 understooo his his uncle

years but that it was not entirely cue to the war, and was
partly due to the eiobargo on trade and travel to and from

Major Hickinbothaii. had mentioned to me, which formerly

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.
