one of the Hadhramis would be able to travel by this road except by
experiencing great difficulties and incurring heavy expenses, the Hadhramaut
itself would not gain anything by the opening of this road. We therefore
wish by means of the assistance of His Majesty’s Government to take such
precautionary measures as may ensure the safety of the borders.
We assure you that there exists no relationship between our Government
and the Sa’udi Government other than the Islamic-Arab ties. While we have
regard for this tie we do not in any way wish them to do anything which would
disturb our minds. We welcome the visit of any mission from them at any
time they like to visit the Hadhramaut on condition that they obtain permis
sion from His Majesty’s Government at Aden and ourselves. The visits
of armed missions to the Hadhramaut without previous information or per
mission are not appreciated.
We should like to bring to your notice that the Irshadiyan Community
in the Hadhramaut and Java may have some connection with the Sa’udi
Government. There are in this community many of the Ahl Kathir. Per
haps even the Irshadiyan Community might have had a hand in the arrival
of Sheikh Abdullah Philby to the Hadhramaut for at the very time in which
Sheikh Abdullah Philby came to the Hadhramaut, there appeared from the
Kathiri Irshaid Community a notification both on the coast and in the in
terior of the Hadhramaut containing a clear call to the people to join the Flag
of the Sa’udi Government. You will find herewith a copy of the notifica
tion attached to this letter for your perusal. The issue of such a notification
necessitates the watching of the activities of the Kathiri Community at Java.
We request you kindly to think carefully over this matter. We shall
watch those around us in our part.
Enclosure 12 to S. No. (1).
Letter from the Acting Resident, Aden, to the Secretary of State
for the Colonies, No. 521, dated 21st October 1936.
I have the honour to refer to my secret despatch No. 492, dated 30th
September 1936, and to enclose for your information a copy of a letter dated
9th October 1936 from the Upper ’Aulaqi Sultan regarding the recent acti
vities of Mr. Philby in the Aden Protectorate.
2. The
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Hammam and the district of Markha are situated in the ter
ritory of the Upper ’Aulaqi Sultan; (reference my telegram No. 62 of 24th
August), and it will be noted that Mr. Philby is reported to have arrived
in
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Hammam on 30th September.
My telegram to Mr. Philby requesting him to withdraw his party from
the Aden Protectorate was dated 7th September and Mr. Philby replied on
10th September in a telegram which led one to believe that he was leaving
Mukalla on that day for Shabwa to act accordingly. It is therefore apparent
- that, if these reports are true (and I have no reason to doubt them), Mr.
Philby deliberately disregarded the request to leave the Protectorate and act
ually penetrated further in.
3. I am replying to the Upper ’Aulaqi Sultan that the Sa’udi party
entered the Hadhramaut and other parts of the Protectorate without per
mission, that the Sa’udi Government has not been given authority over the
interior of the Hadhramaut and that there is no intention of giving them
permission to enter ’Aulaqi territory. I shall add that His Majesty’s Govern
ment is well aware of the loyalty to them of the Sultan and his people and shall
express a hope that friendly relations between His Majesty’s Government
and himself and successors will always be maintained. I am also taking
advantage of his letter, after consultation with the Air Officer Commanding,
o suggest and recommend the construction of a Landing ground near Shabwa.
