After Compliments.
I draw your attention to our conversation on Monday the
19th Juno 1944 corresponding to the 28th Jamad el Awwal 1363
which 1 reiterated on the evening of TuesdayCMonday) the 5th
September 1944 corresponding to the 18th Ramadhan 1363 on the subject
of the building erected by Shaikh Abdullah bin Qasim al Thani in
Zubaro which had not existed in the past, that is, prior to the year
1936. According to the provisions of thq agreement, the position
was to be restored to what it was in the past. About', three months
have now passed since the agreement was ^on^luded end Shaikh Abdullah
has not done anything to change what he had brought into existence.
During our conversation on two occasions you promised me to have the
position restored to what it was in the past. 1 acted in accordant
with the agreement and you are aware of this as you have noticed it
from me and in my country (whi^h remained) as it was in the past
but he ( Shaikh Abdullah bin Qasim) had not done anything of this
sort, it is, therefore necessary to remove what was brought into
existence during the trouble and to return my arms whi~h had been
taken away from my subjects, i am anxiously awaiting the fulfilment
of your promise to remove what was brought into existence.
Usual Ending.
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.
